That's Hilary and the Democrats line too, isn't it? Wikileaks and Russians what did it.

  Wasn’t it more like Clinton’s emails were selectively released and Wikileaks ignored Trump’s? And what does that have to do with this article?

    Selectively? No. All published. In fact Wikileaks are the only news source I'm aware of that give you the entire source docs to decide for yourself without being selective for slant. Ignored trumps emails? No. You can't publish what you don't have. I don't think there are credible accusations of Wikileaks failing to publish anything of significance. To do with the article? The exact same ridiculous defense offered, one is treated with utter derision and the contempt it deserves, the other seemingly is accepted. Perhaps that's worthwhile considering as everyone turns up here to put the boot in to Ms Holmes. Am i being fair and consistent is a reasonable thing for all of us to ask ourselves even if that's inconvenient.

      “on the program Democracy Now! on July 25 2016, the first day of the Democratic National Convention, he acknowledged that "he had timed their release to coincide with the Democratic convention."[52][117] In an interview with CNN, Assange would neither confirm nor deny who WikiLeaks' sources were; he claimed that his website "... might release "a lot more material" relevant to the US electoral campaign ..." [118]” From Wikipedia.

        Timing publication is really normal. NYT does it. They also suppress stories that may have harmed G.W.Bush's re-election. Not revealing sources is Wikileaks Raison d'etre. All completely orthogonal to this story about "get caught, evidence published, blame the media"
