The accusation, as far as I can make out, is that the russians gave the 
information to wikileaks, which posted it. What nobody seems to question is whether
 the information was accurate, which it seems to have been.

with his friends, empty glasses of beer all round. It took a while to get him
to understand that it might be seen by prospective employers.
