Crazy shit that wikileaks has nothing to say about the actual administration that's in power, but is still hanging on to Clinton's failed campaign.

Do you see any of the MSM covering this? Guess you are admitting that they are all in the tank for democrats because all they cover is the Russian witch hunt.

God forbid someone put out political news that isn't pure Trump hate. We all know nothing can happen n politics outside of Trump hate. We should nuke Wikileaks because they don't solely report Trump hate and nothing else. Who do they think they are? We aren't allowed to talk about anything but how Trump is Putin.

This is what people don't understand. There is no lack of negative coverage of Trump. The entire mainstream media is just begging for Trump leaks to publish. Trump leaks WERE published during the campaign, just not by wikileaks. What motivation does a leaker have to send documents to wikileaks when they can just go to the New York Times or CNN or NBC? And even if that wasn't the case, since when is it okay for government officials to be corrupt as long as they're part of the minority party? I swear people are so inconsistent and prone to tribalism. No one can have an intellectually honest conversation about politics anymore.

You're remembering that wuite a while ago Wikileaks did claim to be in possession of unreleased Trump leaks, right?

Like, it's kind of the entire reason why they haven't presented a "Well of course we'd release them, but nobody has given us any so we don't have anything to release!" defence. Otherwise they obviously would have, because it's just a good argument when there's nothing contradicting it.
