Clinton did win the popular vote by a large margin, although that's not really germane to the grandparent comment. I think the point he was trying to make is that Assange/wikileaks lost a lot of credibility during the recent U.S. election cycle by being blatantly partisan. They dressed up their DNC email leaks in bombshell controversy, but ultimately there was no great revelation - nobody was arrested, no investigations were began, etc. Of course, the damage was done by the timing and the subsequent response of the conservative media machine.

I think for a lot of moderates like myself, wikileaks has clearly hooked its wagon to the anti-NATO, anti-EU, pro-Russia, nationalist movement that elected Donald Trump. How can I trust anything they leak when they have an agenda that involves vilifying democrats and electing pro-Russia republicans?
