He is a potential missing link in the chain of understanding the extent to which foreign intervention affected the American electoral process.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in British police custody after his April 11 arrest at Ecuador's embassy in London. By Allison Stanger April 22 at 5:59 PM Allison Stanger is a professor of international politics and economics at Middlebury College and the author of “Whistleblowers: Honesty in America from Washington to Trump.”
This is not a partisan issue. Democrats certainly would have agreed with Mike Pompeo, speaking in 2017 as CIA director before becoming secretary of state last year, when he said, “It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is: a nonstate hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia.”
By this definition, former U.S. military analyst Daniel Ellsberg blew the whistle on the United States’ dishonest conduct regarding the Vietnam War. He was a whistleblower in a way that Assange could never be, because Assange is a foreign national who reportedly collaborated with Russian intelligence to derail Clinton’s candidacy.
