Julian Assange is very clearly a tool of Russian intelligence. And ah, he has done their bidding. You don't see damaging negative information coming out about the Kremlin on WikiLeaks.

There is not a scintilla of evidence that the Russians even are responsible for the leak of all of those John Podesta emails to WikiLeaks. You may think that you've heard all these intelligence people running around saying that they have concluded that the Russians were trying to hack this and trying to hack that. That use of the word "conclusion," by the way, is kind of like the use of the word "claimed" by the Drive-By Media. — Rush Limbaugh
People love WikiLeaks when it is exposing corruption in their opponents. People oppose WikiLeaks when it is exposing corruption or dangerous behavior in themselves. — Julian Assange

We are proud that there is not a single instance of anyone coming into physical harm as a result of our publication. — Julian Assange

October 7th [2016], indeed, WikiLeaks released its whole new dump.

Apparently, again, they were waiting for the best possible timing on the release. — Rachel Maddow

We got the first WikiLeaks dump. — Rachel Maddow
