Asssad is a “publisher” and for the most part leaders etc. with information ‘contacted him’ or his organization. They then would do an intensive research on the informatioon/documents etc. to confirm or not it’s reliabity....Assange then would decide or not to publish or release what he had been given.
Any ‘corrupt’ leadership here or Internationally wants Assange to remain in prison as they see him dangerous and a risk at exposing their corruption. He has no allegience to any country per say so was exposing corruption where it was found to be so.
Opps I meant Assange....
Assange isn’t interested in exposing corruption unless that exposure benefits his sponsors, whose corruption he does not delve deeply into if at all. Kind of like saying that communist self-criticism sessions employed against prisoners to obtain confessions is merely an interest in “exposing corruption.”
