MK and others have already dealt well with the 'truth' of this. Just to
note though that Wikileaks themselves were also part of this false
conspiracist narrative. While Mint Press News etc., embarrassingly
called the email to Clinton from Rubin a 'Hillary Clinton memo,'
Wikileaks' Twitter account also deliberately sought to give the
impression that the email was a 'Clinton memo' by tweeting out an
attachment which was attached to the email and presenting it as 'the
Hillary email.' Just a few days ago they tweeted again about 'the
Clinton memo that killed half a million people.'

That goes rather beyond 'revealing' and into deliberately spreading
falsehoods.

Patrick, noone cast doubt on the memo. The problem is the interpretation:
the Mintpress article, and the conspiracist universe, decided it was an
email from Clinton. But it was an email to Clinton. I gave the link to the
public article by James Rubin. There is no evidence that it was Clinton's
view; she never argued that way, loet alone acted that way in office.
Wikileaks can only reveal the memos etc. The significance we need to
determine case by case. As I said, this was one of probably 10s of 1000s of
policy suggestions sent *to* politicians in power, not a message *from* one
of them.
