    Why didn't some genius person leak the Trump dossier to Wikileaks to test Wikileaks' claim that they would publish stuff on Trump?

        I think they only publish original docs, no? The dossier is not per se of interest.

        as part of a larger security cache yeah. Im only saying i think the self-serving nature of a one off oppo doc is a bit off genre

        having said that I think it's painfully obvious Assange was bias against Clinton

        Which would be putting it mildly. Tho fwiw, I suspect some of the other half of this dossier talks abt Hillary.

        If this was shopped as widely as it sounds like it was, then Kremlin already had it.

        True, then it might not be that far of a stretch to think wikileaks could have heard/got it

        @JonathanCohn they publish verified source documents. That report is all unsourced speculation, and all off the record.

        They also claim to only publish what they verify, so what would point have been, and how do you know this didn't happen?

        cmon. You read the Wikileaks's TL. It's just Russia/Trump agitprop nowadays. Didn't Assange come from white power cult?

        I'm still perplexed that it didn't wind up on @Cryptomeorg at least.
