1. if these DMs published by @kevincollier are genuine, they are the best evidence that there was NO dark conspiracy with #Russia: @wikileaks was trying to get important docs from alleged #Guccifer as other journalists were doing the same buzzfeed.com/kevincollier/a…
2. it's entirely possible that @wikileaks received mutiple dumps or leaked/hacked DNC/Podesta emails, and in this case they do use different dumps to assess sources and files.The reason for NOT mentioning #Guccifer2, IF they ever received the files from #Guccifer2,could be (cont)
3. very obvious: if the dumped/hacked #DNC and #Podesta actually came from #Guccifer2, that would have been "receiving stolen goods": it would have been demented to admit it publicly.
4. @kevincollier writes "@WikiLeaks has been caught covering for Russia at least twice before[...]when it declined to publish a huge cache of RU govt data,and in its 2012 exclusion in its published #SyriaFiles". 1)declining to publish files abt Russia of little value NOT a crime
5. a media org can legitimately opt 4declining to publish files is they are NOT strong enough,especially if the media org is busy w/important publications. 2) as for #SyriaFiles,I worked for months on the database,never stumbled on those files abt Russia @kevincollier mentions
