Are you saying one couldn't leak documents on WikiLeaks if you wanted to?

  Yes I am saying that. Assange wouldn't touch any leaks not aligning with his political preferences. https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/17/wikileaks-turned-down-leaks-on-russian-government-during-u-s-presidential-campaign/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/17/wikileaks-turned-down-l...

    According to that link, Wikileaks said they thought those documents were (1) published elsewhere, (2) not noteworthy and (3) unverifiable. When they were published elsewhere, no one cared, even though they related to Russia during a time when the US media was running all sorts of stories related to Russian corruption. I don’t see the problem with Wikileak’s behavior on that one.

      There was not much noteworthy in cablegate, alas.
