The fact that Wikileaks was going HAM on Russia and just suddenly stopped is pretty iffy, imo.
Well if we go by what is known about Wikileaks the only reasonable assumption is that they can only put out what they are given. So the information ran out, not that they stopped releasing it.
Or an overreaching, corrupt government can infiltrate and filter an organization and the data their given. I just find it highly, highly odd that Wikileaks had a ton of data on Putin, organized crime, and corruption in Russia around the 2013-2014 timeframe and then all that data dried up.
Grasping at straws, I know, but a lot of this is theory anyway.
What about the possibility that the russian leak was plugged by Putin? That would make the most sense it seems.
Ah, saying that the person providing the information was ganked? I suppose that is plausible, too.
No, dude. Thereās actual evidence.

Fancy Bear/Guccifer 2.0/DCLeaks.com is a branch of Russian intellgence, and they leaked the DCCC data to Wikileaks.

Ah, interesting. FWIW I am not caught up on post 2016 politics. I have consciously and decidedly pressed the mute button.
For now, anyway. Just an FYI in case I mention dated info.
Thereās so much bullshit and people obfuscating the truth in media and particularly social media these days, and itās been such a long complicated-ass story, that people lose their place. But yes. Thereās actual evidence that Russian intelligence operatives leaked to Wikileaks to harm Clinton, and it was a state-sanctioned operation.
This should be viewed as an act of war.
But itās been politicized because the side that won feels it deligitimizes their victory.
Which of course to some degree, it does.
Calm down George Bush.
Extradition exists for a good reason. Youād change your tune if it affected you directly and you werenāt able to prosecute them.

While wikileaks attempts to anonymize their sources, it can always be backtraced. There is always just one link that can access all the leaked sources.
CIA and FSB now know our location.

He is right though. The US is regarded as a sort of āworld policeā and gets the pass more often than not.

All good, America number one 
And Mother Soviet wonāt find anything interesting in my emails or audio.
In what way do you mean? Do you have information to show this is the case?
Figured I should probs check if any US citizens have been extradited to other countries, and this search shit show turning my search to list of treaties is unreal, and I fucking just so hate the current state of ALL search engines
Donāt know how up to date or accurate it is.

Up to date? Probably relatively. People donāt tend to flee to the US.
Accurate? Wikipedia, so apply a healthy dose of skepticism.

Itās also worth noting that the UK doesnāt always extradite people if there would be a serious effect to their rights or health. They stopped the extradition of Garry McKinnon to the US despite knowing he did break US law.
While thatās a nice sentiment, I donāt think the UK has a better track record recently with human rights than the US.

Iām not sure there are any human rights issues with this current extradition request, so Iām not sure it will come into it either way. I just wanted to give at least one example to show that the world bends over to for the US isnāt necessarily always the case.
