    I have to say I'm glad to see so many on the right beginning to appreciate the value of "UNAUTHORIZED" "ILLEGAL" leaks of gov't documents to the public.

    Leaks and whistlbowers are one VITAL way of getting to the reality of what going on in gov't. and elsewhere. If we were to wait for insiders to go through "Proper Channels" , Or for FOIA request to be honored, Or the MSM to 'report' we'll end up forming opinions and voting based on the half truths and lies that Gov't officials and party spokes people feed us.

    Once the info available the question is are people going to use it only if it makes their side look good
    or will they try to become more honest players as well, and not want to put up with corruption from anyone?

    Actually the whole 'hack and publish' isn't right, in fact it's illegal to hack. It's a dilemma though, since it's now obvious of what the FBI/DOJ/White House/State have been doing with this one election. Seriously uncovering unethical, possibly criminal behaviors by the most important departments in government. Until the Hillary email scandal broke and Comey's decision not to recommend charges, I would have trusted the FBI, if not DOJ. No more.

    It will be interesting to see how the 'right' reacts at some future point when their politicians/ civil servants/ bureaucrats etc become the focus of furture Wikileaks, because the 'left' aren't exactly showering themselves in glory with their reactions at the minute.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Ask yourself would he have done this if Trump was the target..
    As President he had no authority to use the Federal government to aid only the dem party/Hillary.
    Of course he has a long history of acting illegally and thumbing his traitorous nose at the Constitution.
    Anybody that denies that truth is either a damn fool, liar or imbecile IMHO.

    Since he could not defeat the truth told about her , he like the socialist minded dictator that he is, chose to force a censorship on the leaks of the truth.. -TYR

    With the money that Assange has at his disposal, it would be a simple matter to arrange for a wireless shot into the Embassy.

    Something doesn't add up.

    It's possible that the Brits have a wireless and cellular jammer running to prevent that workaround solution at the behest of Obama.

    Were is the despute exactly?
    From your link - Accordingly, Ecuador has exercised its sovereign right to temporarily restrict access to some of its private communications network within its Embassy in the United Kingdom.

    I don't think I could ever donate money to such a group. At the same time, I also disagree with state actors getting involved in trying to alter the election - or to alter things on sovereign property. It is, isn't it?
