My Comment: My gut tells me that Wikileaks has the 'goods' on a number of Russian politicians and oligarchs. There is a large Russian expat community that has no sympathies with the present Russian government, and they would love to embarrass it's leaders and supporters. Wikileaks provides them the opportunity to have an outlet to publicize incriminating information and news to a worldwide audience .... and be able to do it anonymously.
But .... if this information does exists and it does become public, I am 100% sure that the Russian Government would regard this as an act of aggression against the state, and will react accordingly.
Is Wikileaks found Julian Assange and his followers suicidal .... will find out soon enough.
