... Seth Rich, a DNC employee who did voter outreach, was shot to death last month early in the morning in Washington, D.C. The case is unsolved and police have speculated it was an attempted robbery ...

“I am suggesting that our sources take risks and they become concerned to see things occurring like that,” Assange added, when asked what he was alleging ...

“We are investigating what happened with Seth Rich. We think it is a concerning situation,” Assange said. “There is not a conclusion yet; we are not willing to state a conclusion, but we are concerned about it. And more importantly, a variety of WikiLeaks sources are concerned when that kind of thing happens.”

2. Assange Lied About a WikiLeaks Data Dump on National Television

Wikileaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange blatantly lied about publishing only the “last four digits” of credit card numbers from democratic donors during an appearance on the HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday ...

... as the reporter who broke the original story, I can definitively say Assange looked directly into the camera and lied ...

The fact is Wikileaks published dozens of full (and active) credit card numbers in the original DNC email dump. The emails that include these numbers are so rife with personally identifiable information, it makes it nearly impossible to publish a redacted screenshot in a responsible way ...

Assange’s latest interview with Bill Maher leads me to believe that he and other Wikileaks editors have no clue what the site is publishing. Maybe the editors just don’t care anymore, but that’s not what they’re saying publicly. Instead, they’re trying to mislead the public and misrepresent the data it has published ...

3. "Assange floats theory ...

... that the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale."

I think his concern is truly concerning to those who concern themselves with whether they can pass up a great deal on a used bridge.

4. If you were a hacker, would you expose your real name to wikileaks?

Why take the chance? You just committed a felony and the least know who did it, the better off you are.
