He could have published it all at once, or filtered out stories
carefully with collaborating media outlets. Either of those approaches
would have been educational. Instead, he published them so as to
"maximize impact" -- but that impact, which included holding back stuff
to publish for the weekend before the election (when nobody would have
time to audit the material), and to defend Trump after the Access
Hollywood release -- was not an educational one. I've never met a single
person who has actually read, say, Killary's speech to Wall St. or
teased out any connections between DNC donors and anyone else. The
maximized, uneducational impact was just to get commoners revved up and
screaming, like Trump, "I Love WikiLeaks" in a "git your gubment hands
off my Medicare" way.

Look at the header here - https://twitter.com/suzi3d - the goal of Team
WikiLeaks is to maximize instances of Assange's face.

This is what cryptobros WikiLeaks has become:

10 PRINT "ASSANGE"
20 GOTO 10

With something like 10-20 years remaining to halt global warming, Team
WikiLeaks will be happy to run the above program until the day we all
die. They could have done so much by sharing their ample platform with
worthy causes, but that would have caused "brand confusion" and god
forbid somebody be confused. That's far too much like education.
