Key witness in Assange case admits to lies in indictment

It is interesting that apparently the GOP's email server was hacked as well, but nothing was ever released publicly. I'm no fan at all of the DNC but if "all politicians are dirty" is a thing, then why did no dirt spill out from the other side?

Was it more valuable as kompromat?

Highly misleading. The DNC’s mail servers got hacked and they got everything done

The “RNC hack” was one guy’s old laptop with a years out of date local outlook db. Not even in the same league.

What do you mean by "they got everything done"?

You have proof of that? This says otherwise.

I'm replying for the sake of challenging your statement but I know it's likely not possible to have an honest discussion about it because you appear to be taking a partisan stance. I have no love for either party, and even if I did love the Dems, I'd be more than happy to acknowledge any and all failings of theirs.

Can you say the same thing?

That article literally agrees with the GP that the RNC was not hacked but the DNC was...

Yup. Looks like it still is. You don't burn your own people unless they are very bad.

Idle conspiracy speculation you’ve provided here.

Also note that, at that time, the Trump organisation was running an EOL’ed MS Exchange server. It’s reasonable to assume it was vulnerable and that all information it contained was leaked.

Assumptions are be made, yes. But my comment was not intended to be tribalistic -- shit's being hacked everywhere.

If WikiLeaks is about exposing corruption doesn't it seem like they'd do so across party lines?

I don't trust either party but I also don't trust WikiLeaks to be operating without agenda as well.

You've provided nothing suggesting Wikileaks was offered the RNC hack and chose not to publish it.
