Two sets? There is no source that Wikileaks or Assange ever been in posession of any RNC leaks. This is disinformation.

That doesn't mean that they gave it to Wikileaks.

>Assange basically had 2 nukes, one with Clinton's name on it and one with Trump's name on it and released only the Clinton one because he had personal beef with her.

What are you talking about? There's no source that Assange or WL had any information on Trump, which they held back.

Your cited article only writes about the twitter DMs, in which the WL account asked Trump Jr. to leak his fathers tax returns. It doesn't mean they ever posessed them.

>specifically for

No, it wasn't produced specifically for RT and nowhere does it say so in your source, but RT were the only one of around 12 media outlets he offered it to buy the rights of his show, so it did premiere there.

>You've created an HN account for the sole purpose of astroturfing this thread to apologize for Assange against Russian allegations - Why is that?

I'm not astroturfing. I'm a HN reader since many years but never bothered to make an account since I'm not knowledgable on most topics here anyways and just read comments. But since I follow the case of Assange for a long time and know a lot about it I made an account to correct people.

Emma Best published those documents and not WikiLeaks. That's what I thought was the correction.

RT was just one of a dozen media outlets Assange had offered his show to in 2012. His show was produced completely independent from RT. By the way, Larry King had a show on RT. Is he a russian stooge now too?

False. Emma Best (then Michael Best) published the information about turkish women, not WikiLeaks, and was explained by Best here https://archive.is/0VsQR

Why is this being downvoted? It's true and has been explained by Emma Best herself https://archive.is/0VsQR

And how does that prove the published contents as false?

WikiLeaks published hundreds of thousands documents about Russia[0][1] and there's no evidence for your quoted claim made by ForeignPolicy. Where are those chatlogs?

For matters about Assange you should definitely look for more independent sources than only FP. A lot has happened since 2016/17, and there's been cases which show that certain groups within the US establishment been wrong for alleging Assange of a Russia connection[2].
