Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, defended his website’s decision to publish thousands of internal emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign in a statement Tuesday on the U.S. election.
“[I]rrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public, which is better informed as a result of our work,” Assange said.
WikiLeaks has weathered fierce criticism from Clinton and her allies, who have accused the transparency site of empowering Russian-backed actors in their quest to influence the presidential race.
I do believe that Wikileaks had an effect on this election and let us see the underbelly, that secret place, in which Progressives scheme and let us ordinary folks know and understand the extreme disdain (and sometimes outright hatred) the elite have for us common folks. Again, why help people that hate you?
