- dylanhassinger 8y agoit was a russian intelligence operation aimed at affecting the 2016 election. after that goal was accomplished, its effectiveness waned and law enforcement started getting closer.
- mkempe 8y agoAre you claiming Wikileaks was founded in 2006 in order to throw the 2016 US Presidential election to Trump?
- waterphone 8y agoIt was likely not founded with that intent, but it appears to have been compromised or manipulated by Russian intelligence in the months/year leading up to the 2016 election.
- mtmail 8y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks#Allegations_of_Russian_influence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks#Allegations_of_Russi... lists some of the claims.
- FoolianAssange 8y agoI doubt russian intelligence recruits and trawls along the trigot australian continentia. Doubt Trulian Blassange is a candidate for anything.
- jacquesm 8y agoNo, it was (is?) an organization started with reasonably good intent, corrupted by its own success from without and within. That it served Russian goals is without a doubt true, but that does not mean it was a Russian intelligence operation any more than the pro-Brexit parties in the UK are a Russian intelligence operation (or the GOP in the US).
