These potatoes are so small as to not even been mentioned.

5 ( +6 / -1 )

Pffft. Small beer. Weak tea.

Why hasn't Assange hacked info showing Trump's tax returns? Which international 'financiers' does he owe hundreds of millions of US dollars to?

Why hasn't Trump released his tax returns? What is the status of all Trump's lawsuits? What more IS he hiding?

Poor Assange. He thought he'd be the darling of the election and he's barely even mentioned.

These messages are tame compared to other WikilLeak disclosures that paint the C Foundation as ethically mismanaged, corruption of the DNC & the complicity of HRC. It is Oct & both sides realize it is do or die. BTW WikiLeaks does have very high rating on accuracy of the documents they reveal.

Super - There's more WikiLeaks coming. But that's not all:

"James O'Keefe Proclaims He Will Release a Tape Tomorrow, More to Come"

Latest leaks show Blink 182's singer Tom Delonge was in regular contact with John Podesta about UFO cover ups. That a top official like Podesta spends his time humoring Area 51 truthers was a surprising disclosure. I guess it is on par with Nancy Reagan using astrology.

Compared to what else is in this leak, you're absolutely right.

Collaboration with journalists, Bernie backstabbing, foreign cash, and full knowledge of deleting the emails. Next leak is coming in a couple of days. Interesting reading.

Wikileaks aim to influence American democracy, although Trump Beliebers are either too insane or simply too thick to understand the ramifications.

Ever since Assange had to cower from his sex crimes accusations, it has been clear this was never about the troof. Every body or group have an agenda, I'm starting to wonder if Wikileaks isn't just more Russian financed meddling.

Honestly these leaks have caused me to like Clinton way more. What a reasonable individual.

Shame she has to keep it a secret.

@Madverts

That's called shooting the messenger. Just sayin.

Assange isn't writing the leaks, Wikileaks is publishing them. Dismissing them wholesale because you don't like the frontman is simply burying your head in the sand.

-1 ( +1 / -2 )

What do Wikileaks hope to gain from releasing this sort of stuff? Who cares? Does it affect your daily life? Can you not function as a fully rounded human being unless you have the latest piece of leaked information. Personally I couldn't care less... I just think they are doing more harm than good, making people question things that they shouldn't have to be concerned about. Or maybe I just like to have my head in the sand like Madverts.

I mean it's like when they came out and said David Cameron did the unmentionable with a pig's head in his uni days. So what... did it affect the way he did his job? I doubt it. Why are people so intent on learning secrets of the rich and powerful?

@thunderbird2

The David Cameron thing wasn't Wikileaks. It was someone's book.

Odd that you think it was, though. Somehow a lot of people have recently become convinced that Wikileaks is just celebrity gossip - as opposed to verified, vetted leaked government information with a 100% accuracy rating.

Good to see that someone's damage control dollars are paying off. You can actually read the emails where clintons team are discussing this kind of damage control. It's right there, but so few people will bother. I'll take my downvotes now...

The leaked e-mails show a lot more than that. They show the corrupt sellout to George Soros and Wall Street, they show knowledge and approval of Saudi funding for ISIS, they show bottomless contempt for the constitution, I could go on.

But the low-information crowd still does not look further than then the CNN headlines.

But hey, "unaware and compliant" is what Clinton et al want and need.

E.g:

Clinton administration official Bill Ivey (trustee of the Center for American Progress (a Clinton campaign front) to John Podesta on March 13, 2016:

And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking, and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.

Well, my heart bleeds for the Bill Ivey. But seeing message boards like this, I think both unawareness and compliance are still pretty strong...

"Why are people so intent on learning secrets of the rich and powerful?"

Maybe because they don't want their lives ruled by the rich and powerful.

This is interesting:

"Women hurt by the Clintons speak: Where's Hillary's apology?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXL4RqnXICM

It's not forthcoming - it's not in her.

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

So Trump is somehow the antithesis of rich and powerful? How is Trump able to pay off these ladies to keep whining about Bill if he is not that rich? You think the bribes will keep flowing their way after Nov. 7? They would be more credible without any payoffs from Trump and Roger Stone, wouldn't they...

So after this stark, undeniable evidence that Clinton looks down on all of us little people, commiting verifiable facts, collaborating factually by finance from the Saudis who she even said support ISIS,

You still support her?

HOW DO YOU THINK HER SYRIA NO FLY ZONE IS GOING TO WORK OUT?!

I was wondering about why the British Government was letting Julian Assange doing illegal activity from Ecuador Embassy in London. What Assange expected from US Election by releasing stolen US Government’s classified documents? Does Assange thinks if Donald Trump will not be pursued him for stolen classified files if Donald Trump has won the Election?

First, Julian Assange needs to go to Sweden and face rape allegation if he believed he was innocent. Julian Assange is coward and he wasn’t man enough to face and clear his name. Let see how long Ecuadorian Government will tolerate hosting Julian Assange in its Embassy. The spending expense on guarding Julian Assange at Ecuador Embassy is pea-nut for British Government.

If Julian Assange was trying to show off he can influence on US Election and then he was nutcase. He won’t get any benefit from US Election whoever won the election. He has to face rape allegation in Sweden and face justice for handling and selling stolen property of US Government in US.

By the way, Trump and Assange are in the same gang which they take sexual advantage on their followers by aggressive manner, rape woman and degrading integrity of women.

@chopchop

The only people talking about Assange are the ones desperately trying to deflect attention from the CONTENT of the leaks. That's as true today as it was during the Bush administration.

Clinton and staff have committed numerous crimes. Ignoring this because of the messenger is insane.

Chop Chop: I was wondering about why the British Government was letting Julian Assange doing illegal activity from Ecuador Embassy in London.

What can they do about it? If they forcibly extract him, they can't complain if other countries do the same to people in overseas British embassies.

I agree re: Assange. Who cares ? He isn't running for president. The Trump video may not have been released legally either, but you didn't see supporters on that end throwing a fit about Access Hollywood producers overstepping their legal bounds. Get over it and address the real issues.
