Were working on it, Assange replied.
Why havent we seen anything hacked from the Trump campaign? Maher continued. Obviously we know these [emails] came from Russia. And we also know that you do not like Hillary Clinton at all, as does not Vladimir Putin. It looks like you are working with a bad actor, Russia, to put your thumb on the scale and basically f*ck with the one person who stands in the way of us being ruled by Donald Trump.
Addressing the comments on Saturday morning, Wikileaks denied looking into Trump or his finances, calling Assanges response a joke.
WikiLeaks isnt working on hacking Trumps tax-returns. Claim is a joke from a comedy show. We are working on encouraging whistleblowers, they posted on Twitter.
In best light, what was to reassert that they are not a hacking group, but a hacker submission organization.
I seriously doubt that, else he would not have used the word, "joke," but clarified Wikileaks role.

(15,064 posts)investigations into this. Not knowing where the emails were hacked or by whom, these emails could have been fraudulently altered. Forged. People are trusting an UNKNOWN source. The way Republicans constantly complain when something negative comes out about them whitch identifies an anonymous source, why are they not complaining about this totally mysteriously anonymous source. The hypocrisy is mind-numbing.

(24,396 posts)He didn't have the guts to answer Bill's question. Instead, he answered with an "I know something you don't know" lie intended to get him out of having to answer about the obvious bias in who Assange chooses to target (hint: NOT Rs) Bill was pointing out while oozing fake moral superiority over Bill.

(466 posts)Wikileaks is just a site were people can upload and they can release it anonymously. Assange wants Wikileaks to be in the news and probably releases everything they get.
