Staffers for the highly controversial whistleblower website known as Wiki Leaks were grilled last week on their apparent bias during Elections 2016 reports CNET News. RT, or, Russian Television, has also reported on the latest Wiki Leaks news of the grilling of the publisher’s staffers, hinting that the next Wiki Leaks dumps will include alleged war documents.

At the same time, Wiki Leaks has been tweeting multiple count downs to the Trump presidency, negating any notion that they did not favor a specific presidential candidate in Elections 2016. Wiki Leaks has also recently been tweeting appreciation to readers who are expecting Donald Trump will grant a pardon to Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange.

By their own admission, Wiki Leaks dominated the election cycle in October.

Russian Television reported that this past Thursday, two days after the presidential election, Wiki Leaks staffers held an “Ask Me Anything” session on social media site Reddit, allowing readers to do just that. Many of the questions reportedly involved the apparent bias that Wiki Leaks had towards presidential candidate Donald Trump. RT also reported that the next dumping of Wiki Leaks material will be on alleged war documents, with Wiki Leaks staffers saying the following.

“We will definitely publish on war crimes if and when we get the submissions. Without commenting too much on upcoming publications we do have documents regarding war we will be publishing soon.”

CNET reports that staffers last week were “bombarded” with questions about an apparent bias during the latest presidential election for the United States. Wiki Leaks staffers repeatedly denied conspiring against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. But, Wiki Leaks did not release any information at all about Donald Trump during the entire election.

A recent tweet by Wiki Leaks also reveals a bias against Liberals. The tweet includes a news article from Middle Eastern publisher Al Jazeera.

The online session came after multiple dumps by Wiki Leaks where the latest Wiki Leaks news during the course of the election cycle included news about Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, and alleged hacked emails of the Democratic National Convention. In early October, the Obama Administration and 17 top intelligence officials have formally named the material coming out of Wiki Leaks as information obtained by the Russian government through elaborate hacking according to Salon Magazine.

Salon also reports that the United States Intelligence Community determined that the hacking of material that led to Wiki Leaks latest news during the election cycle were “state sponsored intended to interfere with the U.S. election process,” according to a joint statement delivered by the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Director of National Intelligence.

During the question and answer period last week, Wiki Leakers staffers denied having any favoritism during the election cycle reports CNET. They said,

“We were not publishing with a goal to get any specific candidate elected. We were publishing with the one goal of making the elections as transparent as possible. We published what we received. We would have published on any candidate. We still will if we get the submissions.”

But, photos of Julian Assange circulating on Twitter while returns came in for election night suggested otherwise.

CNET reports the staffers were asked repeatedly about their choice to center on Hillary Clinton. The staffers denied repeatedly that it was a choice, but was a matter of what information they were given by a source they would not name.

“The allegations that we have colluded with Trump, or any other candidate for that matter, or with Russia, are just groundless and false. We receive information anonymously, through an anonymous submission platform.”

It is not clear how Wiki Leaks staffers could rule out Russia as a source of their information, if their information is obtained anonymously. CNET reports they also said,

“We do not need to know the identity of the source, neither do we want to know it.”

Wiki Leaks staffers were also reportedly asked repeatedly about Julian Assange, his whereabouts, and what he has been up to. These questions were dodged noting that Julian Assange is without Internet service, and that, “without their leader our editor’s communication system has been tricky.”

Tweets put out by the Wiki Leaks staffers also show a countdown to the Trump presidency, and hint that Julian Assange will be seeking a pardon from the new president.

Whether or not the next or latest Wiki Leaks news will contain war documents remains to be seen. The staffers were not clear on whether or not those documents will pertain to past or future wars. The Inquisitr previously reported on WW3 news, saying that NATO is sending troops around the borders of Russia.

Since Donald Trump was elected, concerns for World War 3 have escalated. However the concerns likely would have escalated with a Clinton win as well, as in June of this year, Vladimir Putin declared WW3 would start if Hillary Clinton was elected according to The Morning Ledger.
