Well well well, the asshole who helped get the orange turd elected wore out his welcome at the Ecuadorean Embassy. For various reasons, including, stealing wi fi, and not cleaning up after his cat. (EDIT) Ha, I just noticed they had to carry him out, ha ha ha.

Assange was a force for good. He is eccentric, but Wikileaks has helped to make the World a better place. The fewer secrets there are, the better.

Judging by those sympathetic comments, the russians chose their cutout well. 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

How? Putin loved it, Trump praised Wikileaks and even dared wikileaks to hurt Hillary. He on the global stage while running was inviting foreign entities to interfere.
There is a huge difference between whistle blowing and carpet bombing. And again, the problem with wikileaks, is that it is worldwide, that means anyone friend or foe can cause harm to each other. I see wikileaks doing far more harm to western society than people claim it keeps the west honest. Just like when religions claim "It does good". For whom, when and where?

The US has done the exact same thing; look at our interference in Nicaragua during the 80s.

Two assholes doing asshole shit is just two assholes doing asshole shit. The existence of one asshole doesn't excuse the actions of the other. Of all the things in the world to both-sides about.......
In any case, I was only commenting on the prudence of their decision in choosing a cutout. Probably wouldn't have been as effective if they picked some universally loathed entity. You can only launder your actions by trading on the credibility of a third party if people think that third party has credibility. What do you think, is it possible that this effected your perception?
