    Weird, if they have a duty to publish it, why didn’t they leak the Republicans’ emails too? They had both and chose specifically to release only one. They were not seeking freedom of information but seeking a specific political agenda by releasing some info and concealing other info.

    Hillary Clinton was a flawed candidate but it takes mental gymnastics to pretend there weren’t shenanigans here.

      Wait what? what Republicans’ emails? where have you heard that? I followed the case quite closely and never heard they had access to these emails.

      So the answer would be: because no source came forward to them offering Republicans’ emails, otherwise they probably would have published them too…

      A lot of the activity described in the US Army Warlogs in Afghanistan and Iraq happened under a Republican presidency… the Vaul7 release happened under a Republican presidency, etc. I think that reading WikiLeaks’ history under the ultra-narrow US prism of Republican-Versus-Democrats is a bit of a mistake. Not the entire world can be reduced to one or the other of these two…
