These are the types of people the mythical "white working class" put into power...
because Hillary was supposedly too elitist... Some "economic concerns" they had...

When do they finally admit they fucked themselves and the rest of their country out of gullibility at best and unmitigated spite at worst?

It's funny because Fang used to be a very vocal and outspoken critic of Greenwalduntil, of course, he got hired by him (he immediately deleted every critical thing he ever tweeted about Greenwald)

In the summer of 2016, as WikiLeaks was publishing documents from Democratic operatives allegedly obtained by Kremlin-directed hackers, Julian Assange turned down a large cache of documents related to the Russian government, according to chat messages and a source who provided the records.
WikiLeaks declined to publish a wide-ranging trove of documents — at least 68 gigabytes of data — that came from inside the Russian Interior Ministry, according to partial chat logs reviewed by Foreign Policy. The logs, which were provided to FP, only included WikiLeaks’s side of the conversation.
“As far as we recall these are already public,” WikiLeaks wrote at the time. “WikiLeaks rejects all submissions that it cannot verify. WikiLeaks rejects submissions that have already been published elsewhere or which are likely to be considered insignificant. WikiLeaks has never rejected a submission due to its country of origin,” the organization wrote in a Twitter direct message when contacted by FP about the Russian cache.
(The account is widely believed to be operated solely by Assange, the group’s founder, but in a Twitter message to FP, the organization said it is maintained by “staff.”)

It's been a long and windy road to the truth, but I told you ages ago this shit was coming out sooner or later... And the best part of it is the writer is a Snowdenista and Intercept steographer so the standard "PENTAGON/NSA SHILL!!!" retort means fuck-all...
And today my long-awaited final vindication has come:
