In reply to the discussion: What if Assange had released the Mueller Report/Trump's Taxes? [View all]Lithos
(26,404 posts)22. Yeah, generally
Yeah, Assange, nay Wikileaks - was regarded as a savior of the "truth". He benefitted from this "noble anonymity of purpose".
Sad to see he has many supporters now. My only concern is that he's so tied into the Russian cyberwar for the hearts and minds of conservative America that he's gonna be suicided away before he spills the beans.
Otherwise, he's a deplorable.
Manning has issues. My transgender friends were very clear in their desire for another person who is serving as an example (introduction?, ambassador?) to their community. There are some very real desires and emotions which make her very vulnerable. I hope she finds her inner peace and safety away from the limelight.

Don't kid yourself. He helped trump by releasing DNC emails. He was aware of what he was doing.
