Good questions. I suspect most of us have gotten wrapped up in conspiracy theories and then sit back and say, “Naw, that’s just all BS”. With everything that’s been happening, I can’t quite do that with the story yet. It’s pretty safe to say that agents with connections in the intelligence community could have obtained all the emails (heck if Ed Snowden can...). So is it credible that they choose Assaunge to be the mechanism for releasing them? It’s aslo a pretty clear that it had to happen in a way that bypassed the US media and government censors who would have shut it down.
You’re right. It makes enough sense to consider it. I guess we’ll have to wait for more information and to see where this goes.
