Latest Wikileaks developments

The current administation has had a change of heart and now is going after Assange, thus questioning authority and accuracy of Wikileaks? Why the change of heart?

My guess is they are going try try to beat the Russian rap by going directly after Russia and Wikileaks. They will claim you can't trust ANYTHING coming from either source, FAKE NEWS! LIES!

I am also guessing, fuck that, 100% certain, that the media and tRump supporters will fall in line.

of government? Pretty sure the judicial branch of government does need permission from the Trump administration to after after Assange. Could be the Trump administration already had gotten wind that a move on Assange would be made soon. So they are forced to play along.
