https://www.newssniffer.co.uk/articles/1706143/diff/0/1 Sure seems less "compelling" when they make these sorts of edits.

Denied by WikiLeaks:

"Remember this day when the Guardian permitted a serial fabricator to totally destroy the paper's reputation. @WikiLeaks is willing to bet the Guardian a million dollars and its editor's head that Manafort never met Assange."

In response to Glenn Greenwald, who asked:

"Did the Guardian seek comment from WikiLeaks or Assange before publishing its story? The article says it sought comment from Manafort's lawyer but not from WikiLeaks or Assange."

WikiLeaks write:

'The "Guardian"'s Luke Harding wrote to former lawyer Melinda Taylor just hours before publication. WikiLeaks then tweeted Harding's email publicly, outing the "Guardian"'s fake news disaster prior to publication. The "Guardian" didn't include the denial and ran regardless.'

Looks like a lot of empty rhetoric to me. The evidence suggested in the guardian article sounds compelling.

Wikileaks also denied ever communicating with Roger Stone, but we now know they did in 2016.
