            It’s not a lie, he refused to publish the Kremlin leaks for reasons I found paper thin. Sorry we don’t agree, I’ll refrain from calling you names because what’s the fucking point?

              yeah well can you provide a real source for that? maybe other than “one secret person told this paper, and by golly we believe them!”

        You’re thinking of Snowden. Assange was at an Ecuadorian embassy in London. Two very different cases.

            Someone who worked inside Wikileaks certainly felt they were newsworthy

            We had several leaks sent to Wikileaks, including the Russian hack. It would have exposed Russian activities and shown WikiLeaks was not controlled by Russian security services,” the source who provided the messages wrote to FP. “Many Wikileaks staff and volunteers or their families suffered at the hands of Russian corruption and cruelty, we were sure Wikileaks would release it. Assange gave excuse after excuse.”

        wasn’t he taking asylum in russia? do you really think he should have made enemies there when the US et al were already trying to jail him?

        what makes you think that it was any more than only releasing important leaks?
