I'm just curious why Assange and Wikileaks have failed to release the GOP emails. Despite the lofty rhetoric about being journalists they seem to have "picked a side" in terms of their stance towards the US Government. That's my criticism of both Assange and Wikileaks, they seem to have an agenda beyond their stated one.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoWhere is your evidence that Wikileaks ever had access to the RNC emails?

- boomboomsubban 5y agoWhy is him preferring the GOP an issue? He's free to have his personal opinions and it's easy to understand why he wouldn't want Clinton to be president as she, probably as a joke, called for him to be drone striked. And Assange seems like a misogynistic antisemite from what I've seen posted by Lee. Yet even he agrees that the US's attack is based solely on disliking his journalistic endeavors, and is an attack on a free press.
