Wikileaks tweet:
The Obama admin/CIA is illegally funneling TOP SECRET//COMINT information to NBC for political reasons before PEOTUS even gets to read it.

How did NBC get "an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?" Who gave them this report and why? Politics!

While it may seem bizarre for an organization ostensibly dedicated to transparency to denounce leaks, this isnt the first time that Assange has taken that position. When the Panama Papers were leaked in April and embarrassed members of Russias political and financial elite, WikiLeaks denounced them as an attack story on Putin funded by the United States government and billionaire George Soros charges that it made without evidence.
