It is very hypocritical of you to ask facts when whole your arguments is based on conjecture.
Again, I don't have a problem with releasing information. But timing the release with a coordinated effort to profit from it, it reeks of corruption from WikiLeaks.
Being anti-Democratic Party is not inherently being pro-anyone-else. The Democratic Party was being shady as fuck and regardless of who you or they prefer to be or not be president, exposing their corruption was valuable and useful—irrespective of where that information came from or who it may have indirectly benefited. I do not think the results from that publication constitutes Wikileaks "taking a side".
People could make the argument that they could have assumed that publishing would have had a certain outcome or effect upon the election, but one cannot reasonably assert that they would have had to reach the exact same conclusion about the effects of publishing. It's a big stretch to ascribe motive or bias based on your assumption that you can't assert someone else must have made (especially without the benefit of hindsight).
Which "side" precisely do you think Wikileaks has taken, and what specific facts support such a conclusion?
