This new Wikileaks-story is weird.
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/08/politics/email-effort-give-trump-campaign-wikileaks-documents/index.html--------------
Wikileaks posts the hacked emails online, but in an encrypted fashion, so only people selected by Wikileaks can read them.
One of those Wikileaks-readers sent an email with a link and the decryption-key to the Trump-campaign.
It does not per se implicate Wikileaks as being pro-Trump. (Wikileaks' DMs where they provide Don Jr. with talking-points, where they give him hacked passwords, and where they propose working together to take down Hillary, already do that.) But it's evidence that a Wikileaks-reader whom Wikileaks entrusted with this key tried to help the Trump-campaign.
