We Knew Julian Assange Hated Clinton. We Didnt Know He Was Secretly Advising Trump.
Actually, a lot of people knew wikileaks was a pro-authoritarian/pro-Fascist joke....
THE REVELATION THAT WikiLeaks secretly offered help to Donald Trumps campaign, in a series of private Twitter messages sent to the candidates son Donald Trump Jr., gave ammunition to the groups many detractors and also sparked anger from some longtime supporters of the organization and its founder, Julian Assange.
One of the most high-profile dissenters was journalist Barrett Brown, whose crowdsourced investigations of hacked corporate documents later posted on WikiLeaks led to a prison sentence.
Brown had a visceral reaction to the news, first reported by The Atlantic, that WikiLeaks had been advising the Trump campaign. In a series of tweets and Facebook videos, Brown accused Assange of having compromised the movement to expose corporate and government wrongdoing by acting as a covert political operative.
Brown explained that he had defended WikiLeaks for releasing emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee, because it was an appropriate thing for a transparency org to do. But, he added, working with an authoritarian would-be leader to deceive the public is indefensible and disgusting.
