The Secret Correspondence Between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks
The Atlantic ^ | 11/13/2017 | Julia Ioffe

Posted on 11/13/2017 2:51:49 PM PST by detective

Just before the stroke of midnight on September 20, 2016, at the height of last year’s presidential election, the WikiLeaks Twitter account sent a private direct message to Donald Trump Jr., the Republican nominee’s oldest son and campaign surrogate. “A PAC run anti-Trump site putintrump.org is about to launch,” WikiLeaks wrote. “The PAC is a recycled pro-Iraq war PAC. We have guessed the password. It is ‘putintrump.’ See ‘About’ for who is behind it. Any comments?” (The site, which has since become a joint project with Mother Jones, was founded by Rob Glaser, a tech entrepreneur, and was funded by Progress for USA Political Action Committee.)

It appears that Mueller staff and/or Congressional staff are illegally leaking confidential subpoenaed Trump documents to the media. It appears that Trump Jr. will be the next target.

I sent an email to Podesta saying Hillary and Huma were doing away with Bill.

I never heard back.

Don Jr responded to Wikileaks - So what?

Some fake news is fake because it’s fiction. This fake news is fake because it is NOT NEWS.

So they’re really going to try and arrest the President’s son. The Mueller coup intensifies.

The Atlantic, naturally, is still pushing the idea that the Russians leaked the DNC emails to Wikileaks and refers to "American intelligence agencies" (code for two highly partisan Obama appointees--Clapper and Brennan).

I saw this was from the Atlantic. Might as well be propaganda from the Russians.

Working from the premise that the intelligence community believes Wikileaks is a Russian controlled entity, you can see where some of the rabid Trump/Russia nonsense in Congress comes from.

These leaks don't hurt Don Jr. or the President though, as it looks like they were handled properly.

It also bolsters Wikileaks case that they are a news gathering outlet as opposed to a spying outfit.

Well if he used that password he committed a felony. If not, then this is nothing.

What makes you say that? I ask because my ad blocker prevented me from reading the article, and I do not want unsolicited email from them just to read it.

My question is, how did WikiLeaks think Donald Trump Jr. could spread it far & wide to a larger degree then WikiLeaks itself. It sounds like more baseless accusations. Even if it is true, there is nothing wrong with corresponding, especially if no action was taken.

It makes you think Wikileaks might have done the same thing to Clinton doesn’t it? But since nothing was leaked as to Hillary I guess not.

At this point Julian Paul Assange needs to be be given immunity and testify. The MSM ignores his statements that the leaker of the Dem emails was not a state, but an individual or individuals.

Only in a highly publicized testimony before Congress can the MSM be forced to recognize the facts. (sarc)

The MSM will always spin and ignore news that destroys the Russia Collusion propaganda line. They will start attacking Assange, or find another created story to attack Trump to get the public to look in another direction.

Somebody has completed the trolling here - see the twitter messages released by Don Jr., the messages allegedly from WikiLeaks (at a time when Assange had been cut off from the internet) refers to wlsearch.tk - it now has a page, "My name was Seth Rich."

“What makes you say that?”

Mueller and/or Congressional staff are illegally leaking Trump Jr. docs to the media. They are also pushing a false narrative to the media that Trump Jr. was somehow colluding with wikileaks.

The target is President Trump. Pressuring his family gives them leverage.

Either that are he wasn’t really communicating with WikiLeaks at all. They’ve got nothing on Jr. They are grasping at all straws, yet nothing works, and it never will. President Trump’s ally (the one who chose him) is much more powerful than all of them put together.
