Wikileaks tweet:

The Obama admin/CIA is illegally funneling TOP SECRET//COMINT information to NBC for political reasons before PEOTUS even gets to read it.

The WikiLeaks account, widely believed to be manned by Julian Assange himself, sounded suspiciously similar to an accusation made against the Obama administration by President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday night.

How did NBC get "an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?" Who gave them this report and why? Politics!

While it may seem bizarre for an organization ostensibly dedicated to transparency to denounce leaks, this isn’t the first time that Assange has taken that position. When the Panama Papers were leaked in April and embarrassed members of Russia’s political and financial elite, WikiLeaks denounced them as an “attack story on Putin” funded by the United States government and billionaire George Soros — charges that it made without evidence.
