@wikileaks I’m glad NYT called out the Guardian story as bunk, but this one has so many lies.

“Not only had Mr. Assange not been charged at the time of Mr. Manafort’s trip ...”

WRONG! JA’s indictment is sealed. Most evidence suggests it is from 2010-11 regarding the Manning trial. 1/?
@wikileaks NYT, you need new fact checkers.

There is NO EVIDENCE for this statement:

“... about the role that Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks played in facilitating the Russian effort to help Mr. Trump in the 2016 presidential electio ...”. 2/?
@wikileaks AUTHORS of this bunk?

“...secretly pursued a plan to provide him a diplomatic post in Russia as a way to free him from confinement in the embassy in London.”

Include Dan Collyns & Luke Harding, the discredited authors of the Guardian story YOU ARE DISCOUNTING HERE. 3/?
@wikileaks WRONG AGAIN!

“...in connection with his consulting work for Russia-aligned interests in Ukraine before the 2016 election.”

Manafort was working for Ukrainian interests aligned with the U.S. and AGAINST RUSSIA. See Aaron Mate’ @Aaronjmate 4/?
@wikileaks @aaronjmate NYT, as I said, You need new fact checkers -

“...or the investigation into possible coordination between Mr. Assange and Mr. Trump’s associates, which has become a focus for Mr. Mueller.”

Everytime you peddle these unsubstantiated allegations, the NYTimes SPREADS FAKE NEWS. 5/?
@wikileaks @aaronjmate MORE BUNK

“Since then, though, the United States intelligence agencies and Mr. Mueller’s team have made the case that the documents were stolen by Russian government agents ...”

NOPE. Bill Binney said the NSA can detect any transmission. BUT THEY DIDN’T. 6/?
@wikileaks @aaronjmate NYT, you add NONE of the ABUNDANT EVIDENCE that shows Assange is telling the truth.

1) Lack of images/video of PM
3) No passport visa for PM
4) PM not logged in at embassy

In effect, YOU REPEAT THE FALSE STORY. 7/?
@wikileaks @aaronjmate This is abominable reporting without rigorous fact-checking.

Authors Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel and Nicholas Casey

and their editor need to write CORRECTIONS.

The grey lady’s reputation is on the line. So is our democracy. 8/8
