Assange/WikiLeaks actions have aligned with the interests of Russia often enough in the past few years, that it's an open question of whether they are working with Russian intelligence services.
It certainly seems likely he was acting as a cutout for Russian intel with the DNC leaks.

- ryanlol 8y agoAssange has always been anti-US, why would his actions not align with Russian interests?
- droithomme 8y agoDuring the Obama administration, Secretary of State Clinton proposed assassinating Assange with a drone strike. "Can't we just drone this guy?" Given that the Secretary was about to become the most powerful person in the world, Assange would obviously have been highly motivated by self-defense and preservation alone to do whatever he could to thwart the election of someone who has actually called for him to be assassinated and had the means, motive and opportunity to follow through with that threat.
- belltaco 8y ago>During the Obama administration, Secretary of State Clinton proposed assassinating Assange with a drone strike. That was "leaked" by True Pundit, according to "State Department sources". The chance of it being fake is about 99.999%, given that no one with any credibility leaks to fake news sites like True Pundit. They would have leaked to Fox News or NY Times. Meanwhile, in 2010, Trump called for Assange getting the death penalty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDEDQFj9sFk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDEDQFj9sFk
