Does this connect to the other report about Julian Assange's internet [0] being cut by state powers? It is honestly really difficult to believe that this is a coincidence. And, although obviously this opinion is completely circumstantial, perhaps a clearer head should look closer.
If it is the US government moving to constrain other powerful media establishments that could counter their voice, it does make you wonder what they are so worried about being released.
Are the emails really so bad they could lose Hillary the election? That would surprise me.
I guess what is particularly strange to me, is why do this now? If they knew they were badly exposed, surely they could have taken action a long while ago when the spotlight on their activity was lower.
