Fascinating.

On JULY 27, 2016:

-Trump called on Russia to find Hillary Clinton's missing emails

-@wikileaks, in response to news coverage about it, wrote to allies: "Trump is moving ahead of the story"

(Per this archive published by @NatSecGeek: emma.best/2018/07/29/110…)
Some other interesting pieces of this long chat chain:

On DNC Drama:

@wikileaks responded to news of @DWStweets stepping down with a smiley face and a "scalp 1" comment.

Then it told its allies: "please link people the nsa dic-pic guy angle for any russia=wikileaks tweeter"
There are also quite a few comments about Roger Stone.

For example, in August, after Roger Stone claimed to be in touch with @wikileaks, @wikileaks called him a "bullshitter."

In October, @wikileaks wrote "it’s necessary to create doubt that he’s an accurate narrator."
Right before the DNC started in 2016, @WikiLeaks asked for "infographic ideas" from its suppoerters and said "it's going to be war this week"
This chat group also circulated some interesting @DrJillStein tweets that promoted @wikileaks.

(right before DNC)



(If you recall, Stein was one of the loudest voices calling the Dem primary "rigged")
One of the people in the @wikileaks group flagged the 2015 @nytimes story about Russia's troll farm, aka the INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY
