Refusing to leak information about the republican campaign is unfair.

Working with Trump campaign is destabilizing. Both of those are true, factual statements. Wikileaks did both.

Wikileaks did neither.

That's contrary to the findings of the special council, who found that wikileaks did communicate and possibly coordinate with the Trump campaign.

It is not contrary. There are allegations of coordinating with the Trump campaign, but there was no proof and ultimately no charges.

Ultimately no charges yes, but not because there was no proof of wikileaks working with the Trump campaign.

Your can argue that the acts weekend criminal or they were not charged for political reasons, but either way they did happen, and were coordination with the campaign.
