And here we go again! Not illegal, i don't think..just...corrupt and manipulative..if true:
Lawyer: Assange was offered US pardon if he cleared Russia
A lawyer for Julian Assange said Wednesday that the WikiLeaks founder plans to claim during his extradition hearing that he was offered a pardon by the Trump administration if he agreed to say Russia was not involved in leaking Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 U.S. election campaign.
Assange is fighting extradition to the United States on spying charges, and his full court hearing is due to begin next week.
At a preliminary hearing, lawyer Edward Fitzgerald said that in August 2017, then-Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher visited Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
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.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Fake News:
#JOURNALISM:
You should try a dash of skepticism.
Well.. ..you should try reading a bit closer...I do believe i said, "If true"?
I also posted the corrected story as soon as it came out...did you not read it..or did the jerking of your knee interfere with your acquisition of pertinent data?
I'm not the one who posted fake news, I posted the correction.
Again....you're an idiot who can't read..I posted the correction..well before you did..so you did nothing...except embarrass yourself..if you are capable of such. Because the congressman offered the pardon without authorization does not mean that Assange or his lawyer was at fault for believing that Trump was behind it..how were they to know that the Congressman was full of shit and out there on his own?

No. I get it. It's not Fake New's fault that they post fake news.
It's not your fault that you believed the constantly fake news and eagerly posted their false smears.
No, the problem is me, accurately pointing out that your post and their report was, yet again, fake news.
Wouldn't it be grand if Fake News was never challenged, like in a Communist Dictatorship? Where folks were in too much fear to call them out on their lies? You might be happier in China.
