Both the leak of the DNC files, and the purported leak of files by a Putin critic, were found to contain numerous forged documents.

In a heinous followup, Assange claimed that a murdered DNC staffer was the party responsible for the DNC leak...based on no evidence except Assange's bro-love for Donald Trump.

But sure, let's pretend that nothing Wikileaks has posted has ever been shown to be fake or falsified, or that Assange himself has never lied.
- boomboomsubban 5y ago>Both the leak of the DNC files, and the purported leak of files by a Putin critic, were found to contain numerous forged documents. Nothing in that article shows any evidence of tainted leaks in the DNC release. It claims some other leak had some tainted links, that they were carried out by the sane group, and that the Clinton team claimed emails were fake. Wikileaks Twitter account has been full of madness, almost as if it was being run by someone suffering years of torture. That's a separate claim from the validity of the site.
- DiogenesKynikos 5y agoThe Forbes article you link to does not say that the DNC files contained forgeries. Assange also never said that Seth Rich was responsible for the leak. He was asked about it in an interview and gave an evasive/vague answer.
