to Russia but then again that could be on his to do list.

If not, then don't hold your breath!

That's a lot of nerve.

Wikileaks hackers aren't up to the task?

They sound like Trump, suborning Russian hackers

Exposed as helping trump they aren't fooling anyone with this.

...he is a lackey.

Wiki would be the last person I would give them to.
By the time Assange was done editing it, Trump would look like Mother Teresa.

Maybe the tiny inauguration crowd versus the HUGE numbers protesting the asshole, didn't go over well with Putin.
Maybe this Wikileaks message is a prelude to releasing fake tax documents that they have set to release.

His gawdam tax returns are on record with the IRS.

If they are sitting on some bad shit in those files - well, that opens a whole new can of worms.

I think Putinleaks already has some FAKE Trump taxes that will make him look good—after seeing all the protests yesterday, they plan on releasing them.

It's like the furor over Trump being a liar. All of Trump's PR fiascos are being used just like smokescreens or radar jamming in war, to hide the movement of the main battle force. Anything that deflects attention onto a PR problem distracts us and helps to hide the real maneuvers that are under way.

To the extent that Wikileaks participates they are acting in support of the smokescreen, not on behalf of the people.

serious conflicts of interest with business in Russia and other countries. It's far more than a "fuss."

It's the FBI. That's where the real action is. If this case is resolved as it should, it's not going to be tried in the court of public opinion. IMO the noise about public release is just a a fuss. The real players aren't saying anything at all.

as a result of what happened during Watergate. Now is not the time to end that expectation. In fact, we should make it a requirement.

But don't confuse political tradition with criminal investigation. In this case I don't care if he upholds tradition, so long as the mills of the Goddess of Justice grind him exceeding fine.

Not that the actual truth wouldn't be as bad or worse.

Sad.

PLEEEEZ! I can't believe there is no one on the inside at the IRS or sitting in their parents' basemt who can't hack these!

respectable income.

Assange is despicable; works for Putin and Russia, and is expecting great things for himself from Trump.

In 2 or 3 weeks WikiLeaks releases a set of "taxes" that shows Donald is a billionaire, pays a lot in taxes and gives millions to charity. Donald in turn both gets the scandle off his back and gets to rail against the left wing politicized IRS. Finally, Assange either gets asylum in the US or found dead in his room at the Ecuadorian embassy.

Only time will tell.

the original petition was posted anonymously and it was a safe bet it would get 100,000 signatures.

Quite possibly Julian Asswipe has realized that he's been the tool that they no longer have a use for.

As stated elsewhere don't be surprised if RasPutin and TrumpenFuhrer give their okey dokey to Britain invoking the Diplomatic Premises Act to enter the Ecuadorian embassy and grabbing Assange.

Go to hell, Assange.

it's more posturing/attention whoring by Assange, just like his promise to turn himself in last week...

You could have been useful but decided to kiss the degenerate's ass instead (probably hoping for him to lean on May for a pardon or whatever the British equivalent is). Go polish putin's knob - it's all you're good for.
