What are the odds that whatever the russian hackers found in Burisma's server will be published by Wikileaks?
Only for Wikileaks to turn around and declare that it is preposterous to presume that they would agree to do the dirty work of an intelligence service?

(11,767 posts)The question, from the context of the story, seems to be sarcastic. The Burisma stoy is about Russian hacking into the oil company maliciously. It would likely show Russians as bad actors in Ukraine, which would reinforce the narrative that the Obama administration and Joe Biden were right in trying to curtail corruption in Ukraine.
It is not something that Russia would want released. I may be wrong, but the OP likely is thinking that the odds are very slim that Wikileaks, which is supposedly a watchdog that releases information on governments wrongdoing, would release information damaging to Russia because they are a stooge organization that was helping Russia to leak information damaging to liberal entities.
