I think they are putting pressure on POTUS and Q team to get JA out of the embassy.
They are threatening to disrupt the movement unless something is done.
That's my read.
Assange has signaled he wants to testify in front of congress.
I highly doubt they were asked to spread disinfo, I don't see the logic in it.
Clearly there was coordination between Q team and JA around Christmas. Something has/had to be planned.
Wikileaks self interest is getting JA out of that embassy. In addition, they haven't dropped anything in a long time.
Another random thought is do they see their role in the world being destroyed through what Q team is doing, are they threatened?
Also, be careful with your words, they said they suspect its a larp, not that it is.
