Wikileaks was a RuSSian dump, by the way.
The FSB found a fool from Australia who, like many RuSSians, doesn’t give a damn about his life.

Any organization that does this will slowly be bled dry. There isn’t a single government worldwide that is actually okay with their secrets being spilled. Wikileaks was a fucking darling of the US media and political establishment right up until the moment they started leaking stuff on US political parties.
It’s incredibly hard to actually speak truth to power, because those with power are hellbent on using their power to shut you up.

So Wikileaks reporting on the Bush admins illegal activities in the War on Terror in 2010 doesn’t count? Or was Russia behind that, too?

They were ok with dems until they started spilling dirt on democrats too. Then they couldn’t be trusted.

The Bush administration is not the same as the Trump administration. When people voted for Trump they didn’t vote for the Republican Party. They voted for Trump.
Trump was for example incredibly vocal about reducing the support to NATO. Of course the Russians would do anything to make those ideas happen.

More like they were a darling up until they were compromised by Russian intelligence and turned into the propaganda arm of the protofascist party in the US.

So the leaks on the Bush admin in 2010 don’t count? The US was pretty upset about the Collateral Murder video.

That’s what happens when you threaten to kill the person that has dirt on you. If a person only believes in echo chamber content, it’s not news but propaganda
