Assange Timed WikiLeaks Release of Democratic Emails to Harm Hillary Clinton

&gt; revelations in the emails that party officials had privately rooted<p>This does little justice to what actually is said in those emails<p>I mean I don&#x27;t get why they talk about him timing it to hurt her, he literally said that the next emails he releases will contain “enough evidence” for the Department of Justice to indict Hillary Clinton. [0]<p>I guess it gets the most media attention now, albeit limited from mainstream publications. I find it annoying that the most coverage from mainstream American publications have been about the leaks and not the content. More people have opinions on whether the Russians were the source for Wikileaks than about the content of the emails.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.itv.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;update&#x2F;2016-06-12&#x2F;assange-on-peston-on-sunday-more-clinton-leaks-to-come&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.itv.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;update&#x2F;2016-06-12&#x2F;assange-on-peston-...</a>

Notice how the NYT dropped the comment feature from their site.<p>Notice how they&#x27;ve been caught during this cycle fighting Clinton&#x27;s battles against Sanders.<p>Notice how there isn&#x27;t a single direct quote from Assange regarding an intention to &quot;harm hillary&quot;... there are only quotes about how he dislikes her platform.<p>Nothing talking about the msm collusion with dnc? We all noticed.<p>So many things to notice here.

Nonsense. To harm or get rid of Hillary it should have been timed earlier. Wikileaks clearly needs a lot of time to process such massive leaks. They are doing journalists work after all.<p>A few months ago there was still a chance to get a non-criminal, not-lying nominee who would have had a chance against Trump. Now it&#x27;s too late already. The only outcome was Wasserman Schultz being promoted and Trump leading the polls. All this was entirely expected.

&quot;Putin did it&quot;, &quot;Assange wants to harm HRC&quot;... anything to avoid talking about the actual <i>contents</i> of the emails.

More like Assange timed the WikiLeaks release to provide more information to the voters, which is good.<p>A well informed voter is a good voter.

I sometimes think there are more Trump supporters in the Silicon Valley than our leaders who seem to think they represent the entire SV.<p>This article talks about the shy trump vote. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;praxis.ink&#x2F;2016&#x2F;07&#x2F;democrats-fear-secret-trump-vote-that-doesnt-show-up-in-polling&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;praxis.ink&#x2F;2016&#x2F;07&#x2F;democrats-fear-secret-trump-vote-t...</a><p>How much of this shy vote is true in Silicon Valley?

Is there any time prior to November that this could have been released that wouldn&#x27;t have cast a bad light on the DNC and Clinton?

If he thinks Hillary is bad, just wait until he releases something bad about Trump when Trump is in power!

Anyone surprised and&#x2F;or outraged at this runs a very real risk of playing the useful idiot
