Assange has spent the better part of a year implying that Seth Rich was a Wikileaks source. If true, this is a shocking turn of events that could have broad implications.

If false, Assange will have permanently damaged his reputation, at least in my eyes.

If no evidence one way or the other comes to light, then people will just continue to believe what they want to believe about the case.

The key word there is "implying". Wikileaks mission statement doesn't rely on speculation, it relies on hard evidence, however, their PR strategy seems quite different.

It seems to me that Wikileaks has lost all credibility at this point. I wouldn't bet on their Seth Rich story panning out.
Yea they seem to be promoting every 4chan conspiracy theory nowadays​. I remember when they were pushing a really weird one, I think it was a Podesta cookbook ritual dinner or something, that's the one when I realized​ they were totally into pushing propaganda now and made me lose the last bit of respect I had for them.
That mealtime happened. This means Podesta enjoys performance art, the propaganda was that this meant he was a satanist paedophile.
