Julian Assange and Wikileaks have always maintained that the leaks came from a "non-state actor" and that "Russia was not the source" of the files.
The story that is circulating in the mainstream news at the moment is designed to reshape the narrative.
Firstly, it is designed to prop up the ludicrous and debunked lie that 'Russia hacked the US elections' which lead to Hillary's defeat by Trump. (It's a cover story to mask the corruption within the DNC, corruption and collusion - amplified in the msm for 3 years).
Secondly, it's an attempt to continue the Dems attack against Trump for being a corrupt leader willing to lie and cheat to get what he wants. This appeals to the Democrats narrative.
(It's safe to say that Trump is equally as corrupt as previous US presidents, if not more, and the same goes for the majority of his counterparts in congress and the senate).
This is just the latest in the ongoing smear of JA by the media as the US intelligencia attempts to associate Assange with Trump and Russia in the eyes of an misinformed and propagandized public.
