(THREAD) The Don Jr.-Wikileaks DMs read like a media organization promoting its published material, trying to ingratiate itself to a campaign, and asking for favors (unsuccessfully). Nothing more. That's not defending Don Jr or Wikileaks. It's defending objectivity.

Objectivity, evidence-based reasoning, and Truth are under assault. Insinuation, motivated reasoning, and conspiracy theorizing contribute to that assault, no matter what cause they serve Others doing it isn't an excuse. It's even more reason to objectively follow the facts (END)

Your argument is based on the premise that Wikileaks is a media organization. Their correspondence with Don Jr. indicates they were seeking his assistance in PORTRAYING an impartiality they knew didn't exist. Propagandists-not media. Cover forever blown.pic.twitter.com/GyawRJ7Wcf

It proves the lied (to their precious base, to all the American people, to congressional investigators, etc.). I think it's fair to put that in the 'consciousness of guilt' bucket.

Wikileaks in this chain is trying to direct the actions of the Trump campaign after a presumed loss, including that Donald Trump should not concede. This is nothing like communications between legit news outlets and possible sources.

It shows they are dishonest cretins & shouldn’t be trusted about anything & tossed from office asap. One of the lies will eventually get someone killed. This is certain. Why wait & nitpick?

Jr was quick to release some DMs with WikiLeaks. Maybe too quick.
