[quote=Anonymous]Even though Rubio has many positions I would not agree with, I respect his comments about wikileaks. Seems encouraging that there are many in Republican side who still can think intelligently. Wish he could have not endorsed Trump.

"As our intelligence agencies have said, these leaks are an effort by a foreign government to interfere with our electoral process and I will not indulge it,” Rubio tells ABC news. "Further, I want to warn my fellow Republicans who may want to capitalize politically on these leaks: [b]Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us.[/b]"

Rubio's stand puts him directly at odds with Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee, which have been relentlessly hammering Hillary Clinton and her campaign over the contents of the hacked emails.

"Wikileaks has provided things that are unbelievable," he said at a rally in Colorado Tuesday, accusing the media of ignoring the ongoing leaks. "The media you have to remember is an extension of the Hillary Clinton campaign. It's an extension. And without that she would be nowhere."

But while Trump regularly taunts the news media for not paying enough attention to the stolen emails, Rubio argues that making an issue out of the Wikileaks disclosures plays into the hands of the Russian government.

"[b]I will not discuss any issue that has become public solely on the basis of Wikileaks[/b],” Rubio tells ABC news.[/quote]

The bolded statements are the essence of my issue with wikileaks. They are perpetrating national espionage and their revelation must be rejected by every American.[/quote]
