Julian Assange: ‘No Proof Whatsoever’ Russians Are Behind DNC Hack
LawNewz ^ | July 25, 2016 | Rachel Stockman

During an interview with NBC’s Richard Engel, Julian Assange said that “there is no proof whatsoever” that Russian intelligence sources are responsible for hacking thousands of Democratic National Committee emails. The emails were posted by WikiLeaks over the weekend. The FBI is investigating the hack. Three cybersecurity experts told the DNC that the emails were hacked by Russian intelligence.

‘There is no proof of that whatsoever. We have not disclosed our source, and of course, this is a diversion that’s being pushed by the Hillary Clinton campaign. That’s a meta-story. The real story is what these emails contain and they show collusion. The very top of the Democratic party, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is now being forced to resign,”Assange said during the interview.

“And other people from the party, which is meant to be neutral, subverting the process in order to make sure Hillary Clinton won the campaign,” he added.

Assange is the editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, an organization which was founded in 2006. The DNC has come under fire after thousands of emails were released over the weekend that appear to show a concerted effort by DNC officials to undermine Bernie Sanders’ campaign in order to get Hillary Clinton elected. In a statement this afternoon, the DNC apologized for the “inexcusable remarks” made over email....

All just an attempt to deflect and somehow blame the Donald. The democrats are beyond vile. There’s no such thing as an ethical campaign with democrats.

Hillary, The DNC and her supporters are accusing the Russian Government of hacking them.

So much for reaching out to the global community.

They are all but declaring war. And they worry about Americans saying Islam is a cult or whatever it is that upsets Muslims.

OK the e-mail’s are genuine, then? Can’t hack something that’s fake.

So, to summarize .... the ruling elite of the DNC secretly conspired with the Media and one candidate in a cozy arrangement to squeeze out all the other candidates. In other words, “we don’t need no stinking democracy in our Party.” No wonder Bernie supporters are pissed.

Hey, what’s that giant flushing sound we hear this summer?

... that’s the Democratic party’s credibility going down the dumper ....

Three cybersecurity experts?

Did they have anything to do with Hillary’s homemade server?

But Lester Holt and his band of leftwing Gollums spent time on the evening news trying to spin the notion the Russkies were trying to help Trump, including unnamed “experts” from unknown places trying to override Julian Assange’s statement.

Another watch-the-cards-not-my-hand move, just like the video/Benghazi ploy.

If the FBI couldn’t get Clintoon, how in the hell are they going to catch someone as “unsophisticated” as the Russkis even if they did hack the witch’s email? If the Russkis did do it, you can bet it was a “deal” between Putin and Obama.

Yes the Russians did it. It was the result of a video.

If the Donks claim the Rooskies have Hillary’s emails, what does that say about Hillary ?

Reminiscent of the Pentagon Papers.At the time the Republicans howled that the New York Times obtained them from a rogue. That mattered not at all. It was the content that became the focus. If the Russians were indeed the source of these DNC e mails, Hillary should be very worried. This was just the opening gambit to disrupt the Democratic Convention. Wikileaks is but only one venue they can use to disseminate the contents of her not so private server. Over the next three months the Hillary Chronicles could be released in installments if they choose.

I still think some disgruntled IT employee working for the Democratic National Committee took the email server data using a modified laptop or even a special box built from Raspberry Pi parts. And copied it to a high-capacity flash memory drive or physically small hard drive before turning it over to Julian Assange personally.

I wonder why they blame the Russians rather than directly blaming conservatives. I don’t see how it helps their cause.
