What did Wikileaks have on Russia? I've never heard of anything particularly juicy, and well, I'd go look it up, but... /looks at article


Nothing much. Being based in Western Europe and being run primarily by English speakers meant very few Russian leaks would get sent to Wikileaks.


How did this become the narrative? Wikileaks was started by the Russian secret service, so of course they wouldn't leak their own stuff. Assange was a useful idiot to them.


... Source? My version is the easily verifiable truth, which is why it is the narrative.


Same as for any other country. Dirty laundry of all sorts: tales of corruption, collusion, etc.

What makes it different is that Russia is expected to be like that. Not the US.
