Wikileaks has always been political. If someone leaked the rnc's emails, those would probably be out too. Let's not forget Cablegate in 2010.

I walked around in Philadelphia talking with DNC protestors, during the DNC. Most of them were democrats, who were glad to have evidence of corruption and collusion between the DNC and Media. Most of the protesters I talked with, only had good things to say about wikileaks, and assange.

I think wikileaks knows what they are doing, and are gaining mindshare among the alternative left and right.

I come to HN and everyone is all about transparency on everything until HRC is attacked. Then it's all "Wikileaks are bad people because I like Hillary."

What was the evidence of corruption? Everything that I read was essentially evidence that a political party had internal politics, and that they disfavored the guy that joined the party a year ago (and who promoted the possibility of primarying their sitting president a few years ago).

The corruption is that they repeatedly and publicly claimed that they were neutral in the primary process and were clearly not, acting in favor of their preferred candidate as many had said they were. Bernie supporters were dismissed as fringe lunatics believing in a conspiracy theory for reasoning that the DNC was coordinating against them.

No individual is truly neutral. The concern is whether the organization performed any acts of favoritism.

I don't have an answer, but that seems like the only possibly-important question.

There were some moderately-questionable emails about where donor checks were being routed. It would take someone with more knowledge of campaign finance than me to say if it was illegal or unethical, but the recipient of the email basically answered "don't send this stuff over text, you idiot".
