> if they did, they would have been released well before millions of people had already voted, and not on the eve of the election. Assange has claimed multiple times, that he thinks these elections are a farce... Perhaps he knows some things you and me don't. BTW, I'm not a trump supporter (not even a US citizen), but I don't think Clinton is better than him, at least for the rest of the world. Trump talks a lot, but his administration will probably be more or less the continuation of the Bush/Obama policies, particularly the foreign policy...

> I'm not a trump supporter (not even a US citizen) Me too! With Hillary I think American foreign policy will definitely be a continuation (she was the person in charge of it for 4 years), and that's not such a good thing for the rest of the world. At least with Trump there is the possibility that things could change. I also quite like his ideas around addressing corruption in politics, though again as you mentioned, whether or not he'd be able to actually do anything about it if elected is a different matter entirely.

  You like the corruption strategy of a politician whose entire career is corruption. His "charitable" foundation pays his legal bills FCS.
