Wikileaks Now Trying to Subvert Elections Across the Globe

In an effort to repeat their claimed success swaying public opinion ahead of the American Presidential election, Wikileaks is now releasing huge dossiers on politicians in France. The stated goal it to bring transparency to elections around the globe.

Since Sunday, Wikileaks has been engaged in a massive document dump, releasing thousands of pages of information on the French Presidential candidates: Former Prime Minister François Fillon, conservative Marine Le Pen, liberal Emmanuel Macron and Socialist Party candidate Benoit Hamon.

Tuesday, they dropped more than 3,000 pages on Fillon, seeking to bolster claims that Fillon illegally employed his wife as a “parliamentary aide.” Fillon says he has nothing but “disgust” for the allegations, and that his wife has publicly served his office since he was first elected in 1981.
