Do Not Leak to Assange: The Man Will Rat You Out

Assange will rat you out to score some political points that in the long run won't matter. Hillary will have this all wrap up by the first debate.
How is ratting out your sources going to encourage whistle blowers to sent him any information. Hackers will not be that stupid to jeopardize their family where there are our ways.

Few praised his character, ethics, or morals. For some Assange is simply the vehicle for their name recognition. They are criminals.

But your point is well taken. My observation for years has been that everyone who gets caught up in the drama of Assange and/or Greenwald ends up in prison or in exile while they skate.

Meantime, the only "transparency" they display ends up benefitting the Russian government, the Chinese government, and the GOP. I find that VERY curious.
