Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75913339 If Trump did endorse Rohrabacher, and Trump was carrying a written secret offer with a pardon for Assange in exchange for covering up Russian involvement, this will be very back news indeed for Donald Trump if Assange's lawyers can produce that document. Public statements and timelines show the opposite. Did Christopher Steele produce the documents? Just asking... |

Julian Assange is an anti-American far-leftist asshole on steroids. He supported Hezbollah freedom fighters. He would released classified information or he would hold it back due to his own political views. Trump new this! Assange never released anything to support Trump's political views, when he could have. Its common knowledge Assange dumped classified military info into the laps of the enemies of the United States. He said if these local Afghans had cooperated with American forces, they deserved to die. And this new cock and bull story wants us to believe Trump would make a deal with a traitor? There is no way Trump will dishonor the military. Bullshit! |

Bongino has them by the nuts currently in litigation and will probably put them out of business sometime next year. Quoting: ProfessorWhistleTitz I believe he is suing them for “RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR THE TRUTH.” Consider your sources. Many different sources are reporting this within the last hour and it's a matter of public record that this was heard in court yesterday and the judge has ruled that documentary evidence is admissible. And Assange's lawyers say they have documentary evidence. Sorry, your "fake news" excuse doesn't work on this one. But what do you think about Assange saying it was not the RUssians was he lying then or is he lying now? I am like another poster stated confused. Not defending him or throwing him under the bus just would like a clear explanation this is strange It would make more sense that he lied earlier and is telling the truth now. It wouldn't make sense for him to tell the truth first, then lie about it later, especially in court. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78495846 Assange’s lawyers said on Wednesday that former Republican congressman Dana Rohrabacher offered Assange the deal in 2017, a year after emails that damaged Hillary Clinton in the presidential race had been published. WikiLeaks posted the stolen DNC emails after they were hacked by Russian operatives. The claim that Rohrabacher acted as an emissary for the White House came during a pre-extradition hearing in London. Assange has argued that he should not be extradited to the U.S. because the American case against him is politically motivated. He spent almost seven years hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in Central London claiming that he would be jailed in the U.S. if he wasn’t granted asylum. He was kicked out of the embassy last year. His lawyers told the court that Trump’s alleged offer to pardon Assange proved that this was no ordinary criminal investigation. Edward Fitzgerald, who was representing Assange in court, said he had evidence that a quid pro quo was put to Assange by Rohrabacher, who was known as Putin’s favorite congressman. Fitzgerald said a statement produced by Assange’s personal lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, included a description of “Mr Rohrabacher going to see Mr Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr Assange... said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.” District Judge Vanessa Baraitser, who is presiding over the pre-trial hearing in Westminster Magistrates’ Court, said the allegation would be admissible during Assange’s extradition hearing, which is due to begin next week. [link to www.thedailybeast.com (secure)] Julian has always stated Russia did back hack the email. This is not news. Sure, the Russians had nothing to do with any hacking of DNC. Grand Jury Indicts 12 Russian Intelligence Officers for Hacking Offenses Related to the 2016 Election The Department of Justice today announced that a grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment presented by the Special Counsel’s Office. The indictment charges twelve Russian nationals for committing federal crimes that were intended to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. All twelve defendants are members of the GRU, a Russian Federation intelligence agency within the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian military. These GRU officers, in their official capacities, engaged in a sustained effort to hack into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, and released that information on the internet under the names "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0" and through another entity.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78458802 Sounds like this is being spun as 'deny the Russians hacked' Assange has said from the start that Russia didn’t hack the DNC FBI was not allowed to see the server so it’s moot now because they wiped it clean I’m sure if Trump offered a pardon he may have asked if he could prove Russia was not the hacker ~With forethought and malice Whitless enacted an EO giving nursing homes immunity from wrongful death prosecutions, forced them to take in infected patients and is responsible for over 6500+ nursing home deaths~ |

Fitzgerald said a statement from another Assange lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, recounted “Mr. Rohrabacher going to see Mr. Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr. Assange ... said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.” District Judge Vanessa Baraitser said the evidence was admissible in the extradition case. Assange appeared at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday by video-link from Belmarsh prison, where he is being held as he awaits his extradition hearing. There is no quick end in sight to Assange’s long legal saga. The full extradition hearing starting Monday is due to open with a week of legal arguments. It will resume in May, and a ruling is not expected for several months, with the losing side likely to appeal.

This changes *everything* about how we must view the Stone trial and its aftermath. |

Quoting: Ben Franklin1776 Why would Trump have to offer a pardon? The only logical thing I can think of is Assange would have to name his source. The media is spinning what happened, yes Rohrbacher may have offered Assange a pardon to say it wasn’t the Russians, but not because it wasn’t true instead because he wanted to name the source. Which I think is coming. It doesn't matter to them if none of it makes sense. They have their latest hoax backed by media spin. They couldn't care much less about anything else.
