Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago. Look up who submitted it to Wikileaks: Guccifer 2.0... who turned out to be a Russian agent (aka Fancy Bear).
Go look at Guccifer 2.0's Wikipedia page, or the US intelligence senate hearing that confirmed Russian interference in the 2016 election. All this info is put there.
Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon. Went as far as to continue to attribute the "leak" to staffer Seth Rich, even after Rich's death in a botched burgulary.
??? The emails were leaked before any charges were filed. The Trump admin filed the charges. Ultimately the Biden admin cut him a deal. Obama or other democrats didn't seem to want to charge him.
Could you show what specifically was fake?
The charges against Assange were made in 2012.
Those were the Sweden rape charges and that was actually 2010. He went to the embassy in 2012. The Trump admin charged him under the Espionage Act in 2018.
