There is nothing substantive in that piece. And the fact is without access to intelligence, they can't possibly claim to know the facts.

People here held up Assange as a whistle blower hero too, to the extent they insisted he shouldn't have to abide by a valid arrest warrant for rape. Now it turns out he is a tool of Putin and working to install far right wing governments throughout the world. I know that does nothing to deter him in the eyes of some, but I myself don't happen to be a fan of white nationalism.
