Credible? pull-EEZ!

The intel agencies have ID'd wikileaks as an agency of the Russian GRU.

From Republican CIA chief Pompeo:

"It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is," he said, "a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia. In January of this year, our Intelligence Community determined that Russian military intelligence — the GRU — had used WikiLeaks to release data of U.S. victims that the GRU had obtained through cyber operations against the Democratic National Committee. And the report also found that Russia's primary propaganda outlet, RT, has actively collaborated with WikiLeaks."

Who says they didn't? Maybe only one side had someone so upset that they were willing to send them information.

You have to think that Assange reached out to Trump because Trump was an outsider to DC and the GOP and therefore more likely to be receptive to utilize the dirt they had on Hillary. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Assange probably had little more trust in the GOP than he did the DNC. And the stuff he has on Hillary..... oh, my.

Trump and his entire campaign team are going down. Absolutely no way to justify these actions.
I have been waiting for this, as others have. I would like to see Don Jr. on the stand, would be more of "not recalling events", I'm sure. What's funny is, Frump giving these little clues that have to do with his own doing. (I recall his buddy Guiliani making references before the election.."that something was about to happen", while smiling and rubbing his hands together. I don't know where he has been lately, but he is one of the sneaky ones). Just waiting for Dump to make reference to that big night at the Russian Hotel...

all of that argues against assange being an impartial observer. and lets not forget assanges offer to trump to publish cherry-picked tax returns to make it appear that wikileaks/assange was impartial.

i used to have mixed feelings about assange but could respect the concept of working toward transparency. assange has destroyed that ( ironically because of leaked documents ).

How is Wikileaks contacting your campaign, Russian collusion exactly?

What is the proof behind this claim? I'm not taking the CIA or FBI at their word. I didn't trust them when Bush was in office, I didn't trust them under Obama and I don't trust them under Trump.

who's side?

i was specifically addressing assange/wikileaks being an impartial observer. if he's taken a side then, by definition, he is no longer an impartial observer.
