Does this ignore the fact that Wikileaks might have been played?
- thousandautumns 8y agoPossibly, but: 1. Wikileaks has declined to publish leaks critical of Putin and Russian in the past 2. Wikileaks inexplicably denigrated the release of the Panama papers, which contained lots of damning information about several Russian oligarchs and key Putin allies, despite the fact that it seems like something they would be supportive of 3. Assange had his own show on Russian state-sponsored television It is entirely possible that Wikileaks was duped by the Russian government. But there is lots of circumstantial evidence that makes the idea seem suspect.
