The high stakes-nature of this election cycle has made for some very strange bedfellows on both sides of the political aisle.
When WikiLeaks first emerged in the late 2000s/early 2010’s, the group was praised by liberals for exposing controversial materials and seemingly vindicating what they had been saying about the counterterrorism strategies of George W. Bush. As time went on and the group began to publish information that painted the Obama administration in an equally negative light however, progressives cooled in their attitudes towards Julian Assange and his fellow hackers.
Come 2016 though, and Democrats’ skepticism of WikiLeaks has morphed into outright hostility. Far from viewing them as the heroic whistleblowers they did just half a decade ago, they now accuse them of being malevolent actors in the pay of Russia who have been tasked with securing the election for Donald Trump. Such a scenario is absurd as it is, but becomes even more so when one considers Assange’s own take on the election.
See Assange talk about the presidential election on the next page:
You are Wrong on this one, you woke up a sleeping Giant!
I hope your wrong sir.
I agree 100 percent.
The last I heard, this E mail scandal is about Hillary Clinton and friends. Not about Bush and Cheney. Don’t get me wrong. I have no use for them either.
But as for Hillary Clinton and friends and husband and only the E mails know who else are the ones under Federal Investigation.
Bush/Cheney sucked too. They are a part of the Washington elite, just like Bill and Hillary. Politicians, by and large, are the problem. There is no difference in party, they are all part of the Washington ruling class. I like the term “the bacon wrapped shrimp club”. They all get to Washington and get that first taste of bacon wrapped shrinp, and all they do from that point forward is try to keep in the club. At the expense of the American people. It’s like 2 lawyers in the courtroom.. they argue as part of their job, but they play golf as colleagues on Sunday. Stop thinking there’s a difference in the 2 parties. That’s why I want an outsider to come in and flip the table over and fix the problem that is Washington, in the former of career politicians who make fortunes while on a public servant’s salary. They should do it for love of country. Not for the money.
Morri Roy Mottie This might be true! but no worries Hillary is going down Regardless, and we the people with Trump must not cause violence, but contest the results!
He’ll wake up soon!!!
You are right, America must pray together!
He received all his information from the FBI, and Cia,nor the Russians. So the emails retrieved from hillarys servers that the FBI an Cia are lies. How can it be lies when it’s written from hillary
the working word here is “permit” as Soros said Trump will get the common people vote but will not be allowed to become president. The presidential race is a closed shop. You spend all this money just to keep you ignorant of the fact that you have been ruled by one family for a very long time and what they say goes. Your men have died on battle fields at this one families command. Your government is run by this one family and this one family has now ordered that you all be exterminated.
