I don't know, everything about this story is strange. Last year the Ecuador embassy cut off Assange's internet access, then Wikileaks began giving public statements that it was sitting on a trove of documents concerning Moreno and the Ecuadorian government that many people interpreted as a veiled threat. Shortly after, Assange's internet access was restored and Wikileaks never released the alleged documents. The documents were obviously released anyways but there's no clear evidence that Wikileaks or Assange was involved. I'm guessing whoever was the original source for the documents released it themselves after Wikileaks declined to. This isn't the first time Wikileaks has been implicated in selectively releasing information for political purposes. Wikileaks also declined to release a massive collection of documents concerning corruption in the Russian government for unknown reasons during the same period it was releasing sensitive documents leaked from the CIA and NSA. Those documents were also released by the original sources after Wikileaks declined to release them.
