Well that is a good question.

One of the excuses bandied about is that Wikileaks actually has the information posted on their website before they tweet it.

However it has also been pointed out that RT sometimes has THEIR post written even earlier and their tweets can lead a Wikileaks tweet by as much as 30 minutes.

Kind of hard not to make certain assumptions.

    I know Russia seems dangerous but the obsession over it coupled with how people ignore china, which makes Russia look like Disneyland, is odd. China actually buys Us corporations. China actually has a hand in film industry here. China is responsible for the most death ever. More than Stalin. Putin is just a dictator in a fake democracy.

    Canada elected a leader (Trudeau) whose party has ties to china. And Trudeau pulled a complete 180 on the pipeline pissig off westerners.

    The us already doesn't have a true democracy just because of the electoral college and how easy it was for democrats to rig their primary and rig the media. This has all been proven.

    This isn't a defense of trump. But everything he's said has merit.

    Double standards exist. And it's not fair.

    The new ABC News/Washington Post has found that Donald Trump is threatening to depress Republican turnout by nearly 20 points as poll indicators point to a building Democratic wave.

    According to the poll, “The previous ABC/Post poll found a sharp 12-point decline in enthusiasm for Trump among his supporters, almost exclusively among those who’d preferred a different GOP nominee. Intended participation now has followed: The share of registered Republicans who are likely to vote is down 7 points since mid-October.”

    An equally large problem for Republicans is that Trump’s support is in collapse with white voters. Clinton leads Trump with men 44%-41%. She has gained 12 points with non-college educated white women and has opened up a 32 point lead with college-educated white women. Trump leads Clinton with white voters by just 4 points, 47%-43%. Mitt Romney carried these voters by 20 points in 2012.

    Donald Trump’s election rigging claims and the way he has attacked the women who are accusing him of sexual assault have backfired and depressed Republican turnout.

    The numbers in the ABC News/Washington Post poll are more concrete because they aren’t based on mythic enthusiasm. It is a straight up question of whether or not people are going to vote.

    He'd have something if what he'd shown was the time the RT story was posted was earlier than when WL released the email batch. The tweet times don't prove what he's claiming. But then if you're logical, you can't make "certain assumptions", can you? And who really cares, what these emails are showing is that people write stupid stuff in emails, even people who are supposed to be smart. And really when has a leak of any kind ever show us that people are better or more noble than we thought?

      It is now October 23rd. They've hinted at some kind of game changing 'October surprise' but they're rapidly running out of October.

      In the meantime, millions of people have already voted while Trump continues to open his mouth and cause additional damage to his campaign and the GOP.

      It would take a scandal of enormous proportions to swing the election to Trump and, if there was that kind of scandal, the Republicans would have discovered it ages ago.

    RT is a brand of "TV-Novosti", an "autonomous non-profit organization", founded by the Russian news agency, RIA Novosti, on April 6, 2005. During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian Government, headed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, included ANO "TV-Novosti" in the list of core organizations of strategic importance of Russia.

    Critics regard RT as a propaganda outlet for the Russian government and its foreign policy.

    Assange and Putin have been in bed together for years. They say the reason that Snowden is in Russia is to be protected in a way that other state security in perhaps a South American country couldn't do- and that was at Assange's insistence. If Assange could escape he would be in Russia too.

    The reason that we know that the KGB hacked the DNC is because they tampered with the contents of some emails and left their electronic fingerprints on them. We also know that the Far Right US Extremists have been busy spreading around fake DNC emails.

    So frankly it's best to ignore them, there's zero information of any value to anyone on them so far.

    And as for Hillary's 33,000 personal emails, I have around half that many in my computer- most of which should be deleted but a good number of which have never been read- and would only sort through them if I had to.

      Oh, there's a lot of valuable information in them. We're learning people we thought were smart and politically asture are dopes. Podesta had P@ssw0rd as the password to his email. Stupid. Careless. Neera Tanden is a foul-mouthed backstabber. Chelsea Clinton had two alias email personas: Ana James and Diana Roberts. But people wrote messages to these addresses - "Hi Chelsea". Dumb. They bullied Tulsi Gabbard when she endorsed Sanders. They called Sanders names. I'm glad to learn they wrote emails containing things only a fool would put in writing. Suggestions how to rat fuck Bernie. It's good for us to learn they aren't as good and sweet and kind and good as the ultra-pro-Hillary types want us to believe. Clinton's a fool if she makes Tanden her chief of staff as is rumored. She's damaged goods.

If there were altered emails coming out, why aren't Donna Brazile, John Podesta, DWS releasing the real emails and showing us they've been altered? Because they haven't been altered.

    "In the meantime, millions of people have already voted "
    So what. We vote for electors, not the candidate. The electors don't vote until Dec 19th. If an enormous scandal is revealed, they could revolt and not vote for the person the scandal's about. Then the Congress meets on Jan 6th to count and certify the electoral votes. They could reject the electoral vote. In that case the House would elect the president and the Senate would elect the VP. Or the president-elect could face enough political pressure to resign before the Inauguration on Jan 20th and the VP would be sworn in. Or if the subject of an enormous scandal had the nerve to still take office, the Congress could get rid of them by impeachment.

    But whatever it is they think they're holding, it's clear it's not just about getting Trump elected or Clinton not elected, it's about causing chaos. If it was about not electing Clinton, they'd have released them during the primary where they may have had the result of Sanders winning. So if Assange hates Clinton, why didn't he screw her over during the primaries? Because it's about causing chaos, not about Clinton.
