Once upon a time, the US, more specifically the republicans called forth that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be criminally charged and brought to justice.

He was praised by the left, hated by the right.

Now he is praised by the right, more specifically the Traitor Trump had his son correspond with Julian Assange.....

Of course Trumpettes will ignore it and still embrace the traitor as they claim to love America.

it's reported mostly as Wikileaks contacting Don Jr, but perhaps Jr just didn't hand over all of his responses back... not like the family has ethics

the two most noteworth parts probably:
=======

“Strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if he mentions us,” WikiLeaks went on, pointing Trump Jr. to the link wlsearch.tk, which it said would help Trump’s followers dig through the trove of stolen documents and find stories. “There’s many great stories the press are missing and we’re sure some of your follows [sic] will find it,” WikiLeaks went on. “Btw we just released Podesta Emails Part 4.”

Trump Jr. did not respond to this message. But just 15 minutes after it was sent, as The Wall Street Journal’s Byron Tau pointed out, Donald Trump himself tweeted, “Very little pick-up by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks. So dishonest! Rigged system!”

Two days later, on October 14, 2016, Trump Jr. tweeted out the link WikiLeaks had provided him. “For those who have the time to read about all the corruption and hypocrisy all the @wikileaks emails are right here: htp://wlsearch.tk/,” he wrote.

------------------

“Hey Don. We have an unusual idea,” WikiLeaks wrote on October 21, 2016. “Leak us one or more of your father’s tax returns.” WikiLeaks then laid out three reasons why this would benefit both the Trumps and WikiLeaks. One, The New York Times had already published a fragment of Trump’s tax returns on October 1; two, the rest could come out any time “through the most biased source (e.g. NYT/MSNBC).”

It is the third reason, though, WikiLeaks wrote, that “is the real kicker.” “If we publish them it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality,” WikiLeaks explained. “That means that the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing on Clinton will have much higher impact, because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source.” It then provided an email address and link where the Trump campaign could send the tax returns, and adds, “The same for any other negative stuff (documents, recordings) that you think has a decent chance of coming out. Let us put it out.”

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” Pence said when asked by Fox News anchor Steve Doocy if Donald Trump’s campaign is “in cahoots” with the website releasing the emails

the very same day Jr tweeted out the link Wikileaks asked him to spread around :p

Pence yet again made a fool of by team Trump

Oh noes... a candidate's son DM'd with a news organization. That's much worse than receiving debate questions in advance.

I wonder if any of the dumb white guys who keep supporting Trump and making these dumb equivalencies do anything other than flip burgers and interact only with other dumb white people.

Nah, I don't have to wonder. I know for sure. Nobody else could be that dumb to create such bad false equivalencies.

cuckhat exposes a multi

and the only thing ethically unconscionable here is Assange being considered a criminal.

this is right on the line of legality... the thing that saved Jr most in his Russian lawyer meeting was supposedly no goods were delivered

here, there are goods... the link to Hillary dirt

fake news as usual..

http://med...o-smear-wikileaks-65ecd7c2468f

“There is a big difference between “because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source” and “because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source, which the Clinton campaign is constantly slandering us with.” Those are not the same sentence. At all. Different meanings, different implications. One makes WikiLeaks look like it’s trying to hide a pro-Trump, pro-Russian agenda from the public, and the other conveys the exact opposite impression as WikiLeaks actively works to obtain Donald Trump’s tax returns. This is a big deal.”

that doesn't make it fake news, but yes they shouldn't have cut that part

and your article would be equally fake news by saying:
"making recommendations Trump Jr. didn’t act upon"
Jr tweeted the wikileaks link as requested (on same day Pence saying they weren't 'in cahoots')
