> And founder Julian Assange continues to face charges that his ‘radical transparency’ organization is a front for Kremlin agents...
The use of the word "charges" here indicates an unwarranted level of severity of these claims. He has not faced any legal charges and the only people making these accusations are those who suffered political fallout from their documents being revealed.
The fact is that there is no evidence whatsoever that wikileaks is associated with the Russian government at all and anyone claiming there is is speculating at best.
> One of Wikileaks’ initially stated media partners for the release, the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, (which has since been removed from the media partners’ list and replaced with a different Italian publication’s name — so, er, working with Assange must surely be a lol a minute… )
If it was "L'Espresso" at some point, it's not a "different Italian publication" but La Repubblica's weekly news magazine. Maybe they were still deciding where to publish the related article. BTW, here it is: http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2017/09/19/news/wikileaks_ri...

Nope, it's still there, just misspelled: https://wikileaks.org/spyfiles/russia/releases/
