I put together a short timeline comparing WikiLeaks' public statements on Trump with its leaked private comments on him. Useful for anybody trying to keep track of all the duplicity that's going on.
Privately, 19 Nov 2015: WikiLeaks says "we believe it would be much better for GOP to win." Calls Clinton, "well connected, sadistic sociopath." theintercept.com/2018/02/14/jul… 
Privately, 20 Sept 2016: WikiLeaks sends @DonaldJTrumpJr Jr a password to an anti-Trump website which it claims to have "guessed."
Privately, 3 Oct 2016: WikiLeaks asks @DonaldJTrumpJr to "push" a dubiously sourced story from a conservative website called "True Pundit" alleging Hillary Clinton wanted to kill Assange with a drone.
Privately, 21 Oct 2016: WikiLeaks asks Trump Jr to share copies of @realDonaldTrump's tax returns to "dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality" & get "much higher impact" for "the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing about Clinton."
Privately, 8 Nov 2016: WikiLeaks advises @DonaldJTrumpJr that @realDonaldTrump shouldn't concede the election if he loses & instead should blame "rigging" and "media corruption" to "keep his base alive."
*Publicly*, 10 Nov 2016 (two days after Trump won election): WikiLeaks claims in a Reddit AMA that "allegations that we have colluded with Trump, or any other candidate for that matter...are just groundless and false." reddit.com/r/IAmA/comment…
*Publicly*, on 10 Nov 2016: WikiLeaks claims in a Reddit AMA that "we were not publishing with a goal to get any specific candidate elected." Claims it did not "editorially back one candidate over another." reddit.com/r/IAmA/comment…
Privately, on 16 Dec 2016: WikiLeaks asks @DonaldJTrumpJr to get @realDonaldTrump to pressure Australia to "appoint Assange ambassador to DC" because he is a "really smart tough guy."
*Publicly*, on 14 Jan 2017: WikiLeaks denies Assange is trying to endear himself to Trump, claims it's just "using Trump aligned media to amplify its publications and critiques of secrecy and war."
(The @DonaldJTrumpJr private messages were first disclosed in Nov 2017. The other referenced private messages were first disclosed in Feb 2018. This is only a partial analysis. There's a lot more out there.)
For those interested, I posted this full WikiLeaks-Trump timeline on a single page on my website & also added a few other key events: notes.rjgallagher.co.uk/2018/07/wikile…
The events I added, which should be viewed in context with the rest of the timeline, include:
26 Aug 2016: Assange tells Fox News "We do have some info about the Republican campaign," but suggests he won't publish it as "it’s actually hard for us to publish much more controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth..." (The material is never released.)
7 Oct 2016: The Washington Post, at about 4pm US Eastern Time, publishes a now infamous video recording in which Trump boasts about grabbing women's genitals. Within an hour, WikiLeaks publishes an email leak from Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta.
