I think you're right that there's more than a little ego there, but I don't like this scapegoating of him because 1) If the election had gone a little differently a lot of us would be cheering him on for speaking truth, even if largely inconsequential truth, to power 2) he'd be perfectly happy to publish anything he had on the other side, if he had anything on the other side they hadn't admitted to publicly I don't think it unlikely that Russia had shit on both the RNC and DNC but only leaked the DNC to Wikileaks, I just don't think Wikileakes deserved to be scapegoated for publishing what it got, and I'm willing to accept that when Julian says whatever he's gotten with respect to Trump is just what Trump has said publicly it's true if only because what could be worse than what Trump has said publicly.
