Wikileaks Is Now In The Biz Of Pushing Hillary Clinton Conspiracy Theories

[DonViejo]

When the radical government transparency organization Wikileaks on Tuesday offered a $20,000 bounty for information about the murder of a Democratic National Committee staffer, it marked the group’s latest salvo against Hillary Clinton in its newly assumed role as her chief antagonist.

In recent months, Wikileaks’ Twitter feed has been awash in posts maligning the former secretary of state and promoting polls that purportedly show Donald Trump sliding to an easy victory over Clinton. But with the organization’s $20,000 reward, Wikileaks waded further into the internet’s vast, anti-Clinton fever swamps, which have pushed the bonkers conspiracy theory that DNC staffer Seth Rich was killed for crossing the Clintons.

Police have said Rich, 27, was shot twice in the back as part of an attempted robbery while walking to his home in northwest Washington, D.C. in the early hours of July 10. But nothing was found missing from his person, which fired up the internet conspiracy machine.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange fanned the flames by suggesting Rich was the group’s source for embarrassing DNC emails the group published online, emails which lead to former chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s (D-FL) ouster.

8. Whatever little bit

of credibility that Assange et al. had is now out the window. All they do is go after Democrats (even for things that aren't illegal), and give the GOP and Russia a pass.
