> Julian Assange leaked the DNC emails on behalf of Russian intelligence.
Journalists report on leaks from intelligence all the time, to the point that the "Intelligence sources say"-phrase is becoming a meme of US "news".
You can't open CNN or MSNBC without seeing some FBI or CIA head telling you what they want you to think.
Why something is being leaked is relevant, but it shouldn't be a reason to ignore the truth or attack the journalist.
