Absolutely Assange has had an anti-Hillary slant; I don't consider Wikileaks and Assange to be the same. Maybe I should (?). I guess I give leaders to have the latitude to have opinions that don't represent their organizations.

One look at Assange's Twitter is all it takes to see the obvious anti-Hillary bias. The shrill "Hillary's got an earpiece!" post is one of the most glaring examples.

Assange is anti-power, and likely feels Trump is not a serious challenger, so there is more to be won from hurting Clinton. It's not really an anti-Hillary bias.

Wikileaks has over 800k Russian documents that Putin was not happy about getting leaked.

Is there anything there that's newer than a decade ago? Or did my quick perusal miss some more recent dates?

Perhaps you can provide more info on exactly what documents you think Putin is not happy about?

Two comments up I state that I don't equate Wikileaks and Assange. I defended Wikileaks in the comment.
