    Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon.

    ??? The emails were leaked before any charges were filed. The Trump admin filed the charges. Ultimately the Biden admin cut him a deal. Obama or other democrats didn’t seem to want to charge him.

    Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago.

    Could you show what specifically was fake?

      From the Guccifer 2.0 Wikipedia page:

      Some of the documents “Guccifer 2.0” released to the media appear to be forgeries cobbled together from public information and previous hacks, which had been mixed with disinformation.[9][10][11]

      Could you show what specifically was fake?

      I’m not an intelligence agent, so no, I can’t tell you what was and wasn’t faked. You would have to look into the various reports and intelligence findings yourself for that info.

        Those were the Sweden rape charges and that was actually 2010. He went to the embassy in 2012. The Trump admin charged him under the Espionage Act in 2018.
