How Julian Assange Became a Conservative Heartthrob

He's the apple of Sarah Palin's eye.

It's a Hollywood story: two sworn enemies coming together to defeat some greater evil. While some conservatives used to despise
Julian Assange—the "editor-in-chief" of Wikileaks they once deemed an enemy of the state—many now fawn over him.

In fairness, a sizable group of Republicans decided against backing Assange based on his now-convenient behavior. House Speaker Paul Ryan called the Wikileaks chief "a sycophant for Russia" this morning, while Senator Tom Cotton maintained he has "a lot more faith in intelligence officers serving around the world, very smart and experienced analysts that we have here in the nation's capital, than I do in people like Julian Assange, I can tell you that much." Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have been clear in their belief that the intelligence community is correct in blaming the Kremlin for the hacks.

"The president-elect knows that, whatever's out there concerning his business dealings and his relationship with the Putin regime, there's only one network of institutions that's likely to be able to find it. And he's going to do the best he can not to reform those institutions, but to bring them and their capacities further under his personal control. So maybe the best outcome is that we have an "intelligence community" to keep an elected president honest."
