The wikileaks thing is highly suspect, though. Like, wikileaks intentionally disclosed a lot of publicly damaging dirt on Clinton and the Dems at a very sensitive time in the election while not releasing ANYTHING on the GOP, even though they supposedly had that information.
I mean Hilary had been personally, as Secretary of State, responsible for Julian’s persecution for years and years, it’s no surprise he would have had a grunge against her, with good reasons. It’s also highly likely no one from the Dems side thought WikiLeaks was a good avenue for leaks because of it, and so no material was submitted. It’s not really suspect, it’s just logical.
How so? I’m sure Clinton was pissed off that he published leaked documents originating from her department, but prosecution is not the role of the Secretary of State in the US government. And besides that, Sweden issued an arrest warrant in November 2010 and she resigned in February 2013. That’s what, two years?
“Let’s be clear. This disclosure is not just an attack on America – it’s an attack on the international community,” Clinton said Monday at a State Department news conference. Such leaks, she said, “tear at the fabric” of responsible government.
[…]
Clinton emphasized that she wanted to “make it clear to the American people and to our friends and partners that we are taking aggressive steps” to hold those who leaked the documents to account.
The cable leaks had everything to do with the State Department has it pertained mostly to foreign affairs, and American involvement and meddling in various countries.
The cable leak is what Julian is being prosecuted for right now, not the dropped charges from Sweden. We also now know for a fact that there was a secret indictment in the US the whole time.
What you’re saying isn’t necessarily a contradiction to what I said.
those who leaked the documents to account
Chelsea Manning leaked the documents. I think this was known relatively early on because she said something to a fellow soldier who tipped off their commanders.
And as I said, Clinton was certainly furious, but that doesn’t mean she had much to do with Julian Assange being pursued. She wasn’t even in office for most of that time.
Nothing suspect besides them turning into Putin’s laundromat. Oh, and then there was the not so subtle pushing of conspiracy theories exploiting Seth Rich’s death. Real class act there.
I used to love Wikileaks. They did genuine good throughout the years. That reputation was forever sullied in 2016 when Assange showed that he could be the puppet for one dictatorial regime (Putin) to promote a proto-fascist (Trump). Then the lies that he used as a coverup! Hardly befitting the head of a “radical transparency” organization. It was all so grotesque and petty. Trump might have just disappeared after 2016 if he hadn’t been elected, but instead the world has to deal with the consequences of the MAGAts for the foreseeable future. It felt like Assange betrayed the underlying cause of Wikileaks in favor of petty revenge on Democrats.

There is nothing suspect about wikileaks, blueAnon just needs to learn to take responsibility for their actions

nah, the real class act is the shit that we now know about what US does around the world and domestically thanks to wikileaks
