is darker and dirtier than we could have imagined. That much we can be sure of.

Because they like to leak

The point being we really do not know Wikileaks true objectives do we?

Why didn't they release emails on the GOP? Why did Roger Stone (Trump insider) have a coordinated relationship with Assange through an intermediary contact? Will Wikileaks release some information then withhold other to influence the reading audience in a manner favorable toward Putin's objectives?

What is Wikileaks true objectives?

Wikileaks will filter the information and use it for its own purposes.

The CIA, and the rest of our intelligence agencies specifically pointed out the "authenticity" and lack of "evident forgeries" on the part of Wikileaks. But did not say anything about filtering or lack of filtering. Which is odd.

like Manaforte and Carter .......(name escapes me now). This was reported openly, but not purpose of visits.

He was there at the start, seemingly coordinating things, then he was gone, replaced by Flynn and other Putin buddies.

...and send him to goddam Gitmo, and sweat the truth out of him. And Manafort too...and Comey, if necessary. Fuck it. We have a classic example of a "clear and present danger". For all the handwringers out there--we are in an unprecedented situation. No government can stand on the strict letter of the Constitution when the national existence is at clear risk. Having a traitor in the White House, answerable to a foreign despot, qualifies as a "clear risk".

gov't of Ecuador to hand over Assange within 48 hours or we will come for him some other way. Assange has forfeited any appearance of neutrality by cooperating with Putin against our country. This might start some movement against the Russian
agents operating in our country, including "Putin's Puppet".
