The liberal media is having a field day with Donald Trump Jr.’s DMs with Wikileaks on Twitter. However Trump Jr. struck back by publicizing the DMs. It is important to note that these DMs were ironically leaked. Many on the left are using this to further the Russian Hoax. However, Wikileaks appears thirsty for Trump’s attention and in no way was this communication equally maintained by both sides. Trump Jr. responded a total of three times despite the numerous messages he received. And ever since, they occasionally sent him messages to which they received no response.
Here is the entire chain of messages with @wikileaks (with my whopping 3 responses) which one of the congressional committees has chosen to selectively leak. How ironic! 1/3 pic.twitter.com/SiwTqWtykA

By tweeting this information out, he effectively minimizes the media’s role in hiding the details of the story from the public, while also showing this isn’t a story at all. In fact, this is rather embarrassing for Wikileaks. If there was truly any real collusion going on between Trump and Wikileaks, surely it would have taken place outside of the Twittersphere. Instead all we have are desperate Twitter DMs.
The resistance appears to be celebrating these revelations for two fallacious reasons
- They believe the DNC was hacked
- They believe Wikileaks is a Russian operative.
If you believe these two things, then of course you would think this is a bombshell, but newsflash, it isn’t. Wikileaks published a lot of dirt leaked from the DNC. The Trumps were simply capitalizing on it.
Perspectives
WikiLeaks sent Twitter DMs to Donald Trump Jr. for 10 months
Trump Jr. might not have responded often (although he did a few times in the beginning), but he tweeted and shared some of what WikiLeaks was feeding him, including a link to the trove of emails that he was sent in a DM from WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks used very familiar language with Trump Jr. In one DM it wrote, in part, “Hiya, it’d be great if you guys could comment on/push this story.”
And it seems the WikiLeaks info made its way up to Donald Trump occasionally. This tweet was sent 15 minutes after his son got a DM from WikiLeaks in October 2016.
What Don Jr.’s conversations with WikiLeaks prove – CNNPolitics
On October 12, WikiLeaks messaged Don Jr. this: “Hey Donald, great to see your dad talking about our publications. Strongly suggest your dad tweet this link if he mentions us” with a link to an archive of its work. Fifteen minutes later — 15 minutes!!! — Donald Trump tweeted this from his account: “Very little pick-up by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks. So dishonest! Rigged system!”
If that isn’t coordination, I am not sure what is. I suppose you could say it was mere coincidence that Trump tweeted about WikiLeaks 15 minutes after the organization asked his eldest son for him to do just that. But, that would be one hell of a coincidence given the timing of the tweets and the fact that we know from the Atlantic’s reporting that Don Jr. let the senior staff of the campaign know that WikiLeaks had made contact back on September 21.
What these latest revelations do show is that there is even more smoke in an already very smoky situation. Huge amounts of smoke don’t always equal fire. But, they require further investigation into whether or not fire is present. Which is what special counsel Robert Mueller is in the process of doing.

I think what @JulianAssange wrote to @DonaldJTrumpJr is perfectly fine. Who’s surprised? He doesn’t like Hillary. She wanted to assassinate him with a drone for publishing the truth. And he’s fishing for information like any good editor. We wanted to prevent Hillary and we did!

Final Thoughts
People are saying that this DMing is criminal, but the rhetoric is just over the top. There is nothing criminal or even noteworthy about Donald Trump Jr. receiving a DM. It assumes the lie that Wikileaks is a Russian front. It’s entirely ironic that liberals are hating Wikileaks considering their favorite “woman” Bradley Manning stole US documents for Wikileaks. This goes to show that Wikileaks is only bad when it’s happening to the your side. This story is a nothingburger and no amount of partisan rhetoric changes that.
