News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Assange being an enemy of the state is sufficient proof for me that Trump is not as dangerous as the left says he is.

I mean, Assange basically had 2 nukes, one with Clinton's name on it and one with Trump's name on it and released only the Clinton one because he had personal beef with her. This likely resulted in Trump's election.

Until that election, I was a Wikileaks fan. Now, I think Assange can go f* himself in prison for the rest of his life. What he did is almost unforgivable.

That's one way to get your username off the FBI's list!

What are you talking about? There's no source that Assange or WL had any information on Trump, which they held back.

Your cited article only writes about the twitter DMs, in which the WL account asked Trump Jr. to leak his fathers tax returns. It doesn't mean they ever posessed them.

Wikileaks got its dirt from Russian hackers. They did not do the hacks themselves.

The same Russian hackers who actually hacked both the DNC and RNC, but notably (and impactfully) did not release the RNC data.

That doesn't mean that they gave it to Wikileaks.

So people like Assange are useful only when they serve your favorite political party ? Not very objective

I believe he's suggesting that Assange should have released both sets of data, not just one because of his personal vendetta.

Two sets? There is no source that Wikileaks or Assange ever been in posession of any RNC leaks. This is disinformation.

If there was any real dirt on Trump, it would have been released by now. All we've gotten is pathetic stuff, like the 'grab them by the pussy' nothing-burger, which is only marginally more offensive than Trump eating his steak well done.

Trump is about to get four more years. If you have dirt on him, there's no better time than now to make it public.
