Assange presaged this in his papers "State and Terrorist Conspiracies," November 10, 2006 and "Conspiracy as Governance," December 3, 2006, published a few weeks after WikiLeaks was founded in October that year. https://cryptome.org/0002/ja-conspiracies.pdf Bluntly, WikiLeaks is a perfect waterhole to attract leakers to be documented by waterhole watchers. Org secrecy combined with public protection avowal essential by spy guide. The org's various sustained, ostentatious gambits for 12 years have been masterfully planned and executed as regularly done by professional spy agencies. Press co-optation and manipulation, after initially, to 2010 Collateral Murder press conference, condemning the press until needing to invoke press privilege. Iceland, Sweden, Interpol, UK arrest, Manning, embassy asylum, Snowden, lately RU-hacked emails, long-rumored indictment, media-staged arrest, Mueller report celebritization, with months if not years of sustained publicity to come. End game: Show trial(s), conviction(s), appeal(s), followed by pardon if not suicided or whacked. New identity and pension possible, or a Sabu-like continued undercover service.

Not sure how serious your comment is, but if you actually mean that assange is some sort of 'undercover agent' since 2006, do you mind providing some details? (facts, 'sources' or something...)
