In any case, I hope Macron has a ready explanation and forensics to show which of the docs he faked and how he faked them.
Well, WL's first comment was that these might be fake, and it has done some very visible vetting since then.
-
-
And its second went in hard against Macron, saying he couldn't know they were fake and they were ahead (I wonder how?). Backpedalling after.
-
And guess what? In retrospect, that proved smart, bc we have been reminded that Macron said he'd seed fakes.
-
Incidentally, something very similar happened w/US attempts to discredit WL, bc Dem sources elevated a fake of a doc WL subsequently dumped.
-
And (2) was their bias showing. It was not about whether they were ahead of Macron/ANSSI -they were trying to validate while not doing so.
-
Which is why this could be counterproductive. Bc WL's bias (I think you overestimate its justification) proved correct.
-
They either had them before and distanced themselves, or didn't, and didn't have a platform from which to speculate about who was 'ahead'.
-
So if they had them before then they failed to serve GRU's (presumed) purpose and that makes them look good.
-
In any case, if fake email thing was meant to discredit WL, it failed, in part bc Macron blabbed abt it first, & was too quick in statement

So rather than proving that WL will post just anything it instead shows WL not doing that.
