Interesting question for Hubbers - do you believe the U.S. government or Wikileaks? And why?
Just for curiosity, do you believe what the U.S. government is telling you through the mass media or do you believe what Wikileaks is telling you with their leaks that the government does not want you to see?
We all know that we're lied to by the U.S. government, that Snowden exposed the lies about the government spying on all Americans.
So, with the corruption exposed in hillary killary's campaign, the DNC, the exposed lies over decades from the U.S. Government which do you rely on the most - U.S. Government or Wikileaks and the "of the wall" websites that expose lies?

It has not just been the last 8 years that we should be skeptical of the government, and their activities.
If it weren't were whistleblowers, and other leaks, the average American wouldn't have a clue what the government is doing and hiding.
We even let the government pass the Patriot Act in Peace Time, The United States has not formally declared war since World War II. Under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has sole power "to declare war [and] grant letters of marque and reprisal." But Article II, Section 2 provides that "The president shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." While it's clear that the Framers intended for Congress alone to declare war, presidents don't always check with Congress before acting. After President Harry Truman bypassed Congress to go to war in Korea, presidents have paid almost no attention to the constitutional requirements.
The passing of the Patriot Act legalized the existing and continued violations of the 4th am by the NSA. It just extended it to the government at large.
So yes, I don't think any one should patriotically just think that the government is honest and above board. Yes, they have to keep secrets for national security, but not secrets where they have gone off the constitution.
Instead of focusing on the Hillary leaks, we should have focused on their validity and veracity. Then if they were valid and true, we need to ask the government why they were honest with the American people and why they instead of wiki leaks didn't bring this information out in the public.
The Russia red herring has taken the spotlight off of the FBI, DOJ and the State Department on their failure to protect National Security, while the NSA, CIA and other intelligence agencies violate the privacy of the average citizen.
US gov failed on 911 to protect the country. They also failed on WMD which took the US into another lost WAR. Their predecessor also failed on Pearl Harbor. Coincidence??
US gov sn be confused with the Boy Scouts oath.
In short, the government especially during the Obama terms has been caught being less than truthful.
Originating as a unit to decipher coded communications in World War II, it was officially formed as the NSA by Pres Harry S. Truman in 1952. Since then, it has become one of the largest U.S. intelligence orgs in terms of personnel and budget,operating as part of the Dept of Defense and simultaneously reporting to the Dir of National Intel.
