Abhorrent behavior from our representatives, unforgivable.

    Makes more sense when you look back at how Wikileaks actually functioned. They literally coordinated with Trump campaign to generate anti-Clinton disinformation, for instance. Why would they do that? Because the wanted Putin’s guy to win.

      I recall Snowden speaking out against WikiLeaks because they were a seemingly unfiltered trove of secrets disseminated, and he considered it reckless. Whereas Snowden worked with Greenwald and his team and ultimately had them figure out what to be published.

      I definitely remember WikiLeaks and the Clinton campaign though! I thought that was a Julian Assange thing.

      That whole Clinton email leak was the most pathetic nothingburger ever. It was so bad they had to come up with the stupid pizza gate conspiracy for it to have any substance.
