If Julian Assange is running the Wikileaks Twitter account, he’s getting more and more paranoid and fatalistic. Wikileaks as throwing in the towel and says Hillary will probably win:
@dandrezner. We've always stated that a) the FBI would not indict Clinton and that b) Clinton would almost certainly win.

Putin’s going all in on “rigged election”!!
@dangillmor What election? It has been clear from the beginning who is going to win. This is, in effect, a power consolidation exercise.

And he doesn’t have very nice things to say about the cheeto-visaged vulgarian:
@TalibKweli Exposing the US establishment's presumptive president does not mean supporting the right wing populist it boosted to create fear

That *almost* sounds like he’s implying Trump is a mole that infiltrated the GOP from the Democrats. The less outrageous reading is simply that Democrats boosted Trump because they knew they’d beat him easily – and that’s exactly what John Podesta said in this leaked email.
Maybe Assange just sees that the light at the end of the tunnel has just been snuffed out:

So will Russian Spetsnaz come and save him in a daring daytime rescue operation? Hmmm. I kinda doubt it.
