Trump in 2010: WikiLeaks 'disgraceful,' there 'should be like death penalty or something'

(CNN)Donald Trump called WikiLeaks "disgraceful" and suggested there be a "death penalty" for their actions during a 2010 interview.

Speaking on camera to preview Brian Kilmeade's radio show, the Fox News anchor brought up the topic of WikiLeaks. At the time, WikiLeaks had published hundreds of thousands of classified documents and videos that were leaked to the organization by Pfc. Chelsea Manning, known at the time as Pfc. Bradley Manning.

"I think it's disgraceful, I think there should be like death penalty or something," Trump said during the quick exchange uncovered online by CNN's KFile.

His 2010 comments are in sharp contrast to his decision Wednesday morning to invoke WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who claimed in a new Fox News interview that the Russian government was not the source of the hacks during the presidential campaign. Following the interview, Trump tweeted: "Julian Assange said 'a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta' - why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!"

Sarah Palin Takes Back All The Bad Things She Said About Julian Assange, Wants Everyone To See ‘Snowden'

"Rootin’ tootin’ Sarah Palin never disappears for long. She’s still waiting for her preferred cabinet position but is staying busy by airing her morphing thoughts on the Russia thing. Last time around, Palin wasn’t worried about Russian hackers because she can “keep an eye” on them from her Alaska home. Now, she’s captivated by Sean Hannity’s Fox News interview with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who she previously equated to the Taliban or Al Queda as an “anti-American operative with blood on his hands.”

Surprise, Palin feels differently now!

During Assange’s interview with Hannity, the Ecuadorian Assembly in London’s most famous occupant insisted that Russia is not a Wikileaks source. Assange stated that his source for near daily dumpings of John Podesta’s emails was “not a state party,” and he believes that the Obama administration is only fingering Russia to “delegitimize” Donald Trump’s win. Palin likes what she’s hearing, so she delivered a strange public apology on Facebook. Here’s the whole thing because it’s simply bonkers:

To Julian Assange: I apologize.

Please watch Sean Hannity’s interview with Julian Assange (Wikileaks).

Exposing the truth re: the Left having been oh-so-guilty of atrocious actions and attitudes of which they’ve falsely accused others. The media collusion that hid what many on the Left have been supporting is shocking. This important information that finally opened people’s eyes to democrat candidates and operatives would not have been exposed were it not for Julian Assange.

I apologize for condemning Assange when he published my infamous (and proven noncontroversial, relatively boring) emails years ago.

As I said at the time of being targeted and my subsequent condemnation, though, the line must be drawn before our troops or innocent lives deserving protection would be put at risk as a result of published emails.

Julian, I apologize.

– Sarah Palin

ps. If you get the chance, catch the movie “Snowden.” That movie and Hannity’s interview tonight are quite enlightening.

Sarah Palin apologized to Julian Assange on Wednesday after the WikiLeaks founder gave an interview to Fox News about hacked emails from the Democratic Party that his website released.
"To Julian Assange: I apologize," Palin wrote on Facebook. "Please watch Sean Hannity's interview with Julian Assange."
Palin previously feuded with Assange after WikiLeaks posted data hacked from Palin's private email account when she was the Republican vice-presidential nominee in 2008. Two years later she called Assange "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands" after WikiLeaks published leaked diplomatic cables. Palin also said the site should be shut down permanently.
But she has changed her tune in light of WikiLeaks publishing hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta in the months leading up to the presidential election.
"Exposing the truth re: the Left having been oh-so-guilty of atrocious actions and attitudes of which they've falsely accused others," she wrote in the post. "The media collusion that hid what many on the Left have been supporting is shocking. This important information that finally opened people's eyes to democrat candidates and operatives would not have been exposed were it not for Julian Assange
