I wonder what kind of threats the Obama administration made to Ecuador? Not that I disagree with using pressure to stop someone from interfering in the election process.

The mainstream press has already interfered with the election process (which has probably been going on for decades). Wikileaks just brought this to our attention.
It's sad that if not for Wikileaks, we would have complete and utter political bias from almost every single mainstream media outlet.
A CNN reporter even said that we shouldn't pay attention to the content of the Wikileaks because it is 'illegal' and we should only listen to what the press tells us.
It's one of the things that currently reminds me of Russia: the state-owned media.

"The mainstream press has already interfered with the election process" --> random assertion by the right with no basis in reality. Please provide evidence.
Assange and wikileaks seem to have fallen from grace. From giving a voice to those wanting to hold the government accountable (Manning, Snowden) now they're actively colluding with Russia and the RNC. If the leaks were non partisan, there'd be a shred of integrity left, but it's just a sideshow assisting Trump's lunacy now.
