Assange was NOT behind the Panama papers. Like you said that exposed Putin corruption so Assange called it a hitjob on Putin.

Oh the irony of Assange being unable to tolerate leaks that make Russia look bad. Its clear what side he's playing for and it ain't for Western democracy and human rights.

I find it amusing that facts about how Russian citizens are being ripped off by their autocratic elites is a "hitjob." What does that word even mean? These documents are verified to be real. Putin's regime is that corrupt. Apparently, Assange and his Russian handlers have a desperate case of being able to dish it out, but not being able to take it.
