Remember when the Left loved Wikileaks?

Post leftists / Dems in this thread praising Wikileaks and Assange. One of Hillary doing so would be especially nice.

WikiLeaks is what the 1st Amendment looks like.

I can’t wait until the GOPe gets hacked and shows their cronyism, greed, and fear of The Kenyan.
