🖨️ Print Article

“If the DNC can sue Wikileaks for economic espionage, then why can’t they sue The New York Timesor The Interceptfor reporting on” purloined emails, said Chip Gibbons, of Defending Rights & Dissent. The DNC blames Wikileaks, the Russian government and the Trump administration for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election defeat. “The Democrats have tried to couch themselves as more loyal to the security state than the Republicans, more willing to wage aggressive war, and more willing to wage unconstitutional surveillance practices,” said Gibbons.
