It sure mattered when wikileaks did it.

• acqq 7y ago
  Wikileaks published leaks. But note: this was not a leak. This was a professionally created and organised blackmail-worthy compromising material given to the media two years after the creation at the point in time to make the biggest possible influence on the European politics and the media turning their head away from even trying to ask which power did that, with which financing and with which agenda.

    ..."and the media turning their head away from even trying to ask which power did that, with which financing and with which agenda." what makes you say that? The original story at: https://projekte.sueddeutsche.de/artikel/politik/caught-in-the-trap-e675751/ https://projekte.sueddeutsche.de/artikel/politik/caught-in-t... clearly states: Neither Der Spiegel nor the Süddeutsche Zeitung have any reliable information about the motives of the people who set Strache this trap in 2017 or who they may have been working for. But one thing is clear following the evaluation of the material and verification of its authenticity by two experts: It is in the public interest to know how Strache and Gudenus, high-ranking representatives of the Austrian government and of their party, responded to dubious advances from a purported oligarch.
