    >Wikileaks selectively released information rather than being the safe harbor for all intelligence leaks that they purported to be.

    what makes you think that it was any more than only releasing important leaks? no one cares about the timeclock at mcdonald’s on 5th and main.

              It’s not a lie, he refused to publish the Kremlin leaks for reasons I found paper thin. Sorry we don’t agree, I’ll refrain from calling you names because what’s the fucking point?

          You’re thinking of Snowden. Assange was at an Ecuadorian embassy in London. Two very different cases.

              Someone who worked inside Wikileaks certainly felt they were newsworthy

              We had several leaks sent to Wikileaks, including the Russian hack. It would have exposed Russian activities and shown WikiLeaks was not controlled by Russian security services,” the source who provided the messages wrote to FP. “Many Wikileaks staff and volunteers or their families suffered at the hands of Russian corruption and cruelty, we were sure Wikileaks would release it. Assange gave excuse after excuse.”

                Foreign Policy endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election. This was the first time in its 50-year history the magazine endorsed a candidate.

                you will forgive me if i don’t find your source to be credible in this regard.
