I just read the whole wiki on assange, didn't see anything about selective leaking or any bias from him.
Could you please provide sauce for this claim?
Assange is a brilliant man and a hacktivist from what I read.

Sorry I can't get passed the paywall.
I get no paywall. I’m betting you want to stay willfully ignorant. Where do you think Assange/wikileaks got the info from the DNC?
Try Wikipedia

This article doesn't even mention Assange's name.
The point is, it was selective. Russians hacked BOTH the RNC and DNC, then only sent the DNC information to Wikileaks. Assange was a moron that did exactly what Putin wanted him to and selectively hurt Democrats to help Trump.
