People do not know the history of Assange, so they'll assume there are witting RU ties, whereas in reality he just apparently hates the USA and would like to cause as much damage as possible by publishing content with no journalistic value + posting misleading analysis.
To be clear, I am not saying I don't understand his motivation in that position, only pointing out that it explains the senseless disclosures more than the theory of WL doing it to benefit Russia.
You're brainwashed, Assange is more "American" in his values than any of the politicians you have had, and have provided more journalistic value, for the past 20 years.
