Lawyer: Assange was offered US pardon by Trump if he cleared Russia

[iamwhatiseem]

LESSON OF THE DAY

1) If it is something Trump might have done - he did it. PERIOD, NO QUESTIONS NECESSARY - GUILTY!!!
2) If it was any politician with a (D) by their name - "no proof" "They haven't been convicted" "Yeah...but TRUMP!!"

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.

Assange should clear Russia -- if he loves America

Whatever makes you think he loves America? He and the Russians are why we have Trump. I agree with some other poster on here that said the Russians would kill him if he admitted what he knows of the Russian hacking and other interference in the U.S. 2016 election.

Russia didn't make anyone vote for Trump.....

Hillary made people vote for Trump who wouldn't have normally voted for him...

And Hillary running as bad as a campaign as she did, didn't motivate people in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to come out and vote who normally would have if it wasn't Hillary...

All Russia did was put in their 2 cents or propaganda....

How did the Russians get you to vote for Trump?

I did not. TopTenn website sent me emails, but I knew Trump was a lying SOS. I am not on facebook, so I did not get the 13 state advertising campaign. I am an avid shooter and considered competent with any weapon I ever fired, but do not support the NRA so was immune to their influence over that organization. My daddy taught me to spot hucksters a mile off and avoid liars and people of low morals. That is why knew not to vote Trump. I didn't vote the Hill because I knew she was equally morally and ethically challenged, having seen her in politics and as Sec of State. Being independent is a wonderful thing. You should try it. You could have principles again.

Luckily, since its now OK to get foreign help of any kind during a presidential campaign...

Sweden, Norway, Demark and all the rest of the evil secret organization, the "Socialist 7" can now be unleashed to help Bernie...

Claiming you an independent doesn't mean shit......and it doesn't shield you from anything either...no matter how much you think it does...

 

[jknowgood]

Democrats have played their hand with the impeachment and cannot do so again.

They can and they will if Trump is going to stick around...he is a self-impeachment machine incapable of learning anything from his swampy mis-adventures..

I predict you will end up in a mental institution before Trump leaves office in 2025.

Seems he was offered a pardon if he'd lie about Russia being involved in the wikileaks email hacks

Trumpers fell back on those denials time and again...under the bus HE goes...

Funny how every Republican on the intelligence committees in Congress said it was obvious and proven that Russians hacked the DNC and podesta servers that gave the emails to WikiLeaks. Then we had 60% of our political coverage in 2016 being about emails that didn't mean a goddamn thing in reality. But a great source for garbage propaganda from the GOP. And of course MSNBC and CNN and other journalists just loves the controversy and ratings. A disgrace the whole thing. You are a brainwashed functional moron

Laughable. No direct evidence supporting the claim that the Russian government did or ordered the cyber attacks on the DNC. Plus Assange already said the leaks didn’t come from Russia.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter who hacked them or if it was an internal leaker. It PROVED that the DNC was corrupt and rigging the primary election against Bernie and for Hillary. It wasn’t the Russians that were trying to “influence our election”, it was the DNC actively trying to subvert the democratic process and the will of its own voters.

We should all be THANKING the leaker/hacker for revealing this to the American public and the Democratic primary voters and candidates. It lead to several DNC staff apologizing and resigning over their corruption. Is that not a good thing? Would you rather no one ever found out about all their shenanigans?

What is this GOP “garbage propaganda” you speak of? The emails were real as was the corruption of the DNC. Otherwise why did DNC officials apologize and resign?

It’s you morons who keep lying about the whole thing and keep trying to tie President Trump to Russia.

emails were 60% of political coverage and have now all been investigated from every possible angle and nothing has been found but a mountain of bulshit from the GOP propaganda machine. Change the channel and check real news someday. Anywhere but Rupert Murdoch

Winner, winner chicken dinner. If the hill had not bought or at least financed the democratic party to get the nomination, the republican party would not have ended up with the corrupt trump to run against her. The republicans wish like hell she was running now. She would be as dangerous or more than trump to this country and everybody from center left to far right knows it.

How did the Russians get you to vote for Trump?

I did not. TopTenn website sent me emails, but I knew Trump was a lying SOS. I am not on facebook, so I did not get the 13 state advertising campaign. I am an avid shooter and considered competent with any weapon I ever fired, but do not support the NRA so was immune to their influence over that organization.

I didn't vote the Hill because I knew she was equally morally and ethically challenged, having seen her in politics and as Sec of State. Being independent is a wonderful thing. You should try it. You could have principles again.

Claiming you an independent doesn't mean shit......and it doesn't shield you from anything either...no matter how much you think it does...

At least I was smart enough and independent enough to not follow the crowd to knowingly vote for one of those two. I am only shielded by being debt free and financially solid for the rest of my foreseeable life. Good luck to you as you follow the herd.
