As I recall, Wikileaks made the choice to take sides in politics, so the blame lies with them.

Without starting the whole "is publishing documents received from an enemy of the state seditious," debate, I didn't think there was supposed to be a jail term on taking sides in politics. :-)

Hillary wanted to drone Assange, so you would expect Wikileaks to take her opponent’s side
