More DNC information to come, says WikiLeaks founder
PBS Newshour ^ | August 3, 2016

JUDY WOODRUFF: While the Republican Party has seen its share of conflicts this week, recent events have also unearthed discord within the ranks of the Democrats as well.

The hacking of Democratic National Committee e-mails, experts say by the Russian government, and the posting of e-mails on WikiLeaks, led to the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other top officials, and exposed rifts within the party.

But the revelation also caused speculation about how WikiLeaks got them and why they released them.

So, we decided to talk to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been holed up for four years to avoid extradition to the U.S.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, let me just pursue that, though. In terms of what WikiLeaks has, you have said you’re analyzing the material and you’re looking at which media partners to work with to get — I think you said maximum uptake from it.

Can you tell us anything tonight about what’s in that material?

JULIAN ASSANGE: It’s a wide range of material. It covers a number of important issues. There’s a variety of natural batches and some thematic constellations that we’re working on.

It’s interesting material. We have done enough work now that we are comfortable with the material’s authenticity. And so now it’s a matter of completing the format, layout to make it easy and accessible and so that journalists can easily extract material from it, extract stories from it, and also the general public.

October surprise.

Might be our only hope to get around the corrupt Uniparty and MSM running our country into 3rd world oblivion.

Are these leaks actually dissuading Democrats from voting for Hillary Clinton?
Are they actually persuading independents who could go either way to move away from her?

He could very well end up damaging Hillary political wise with any new e-mails.

Berniebots don’t like Clinton. These email leaks fuel that fire. Let them stay home or go third party. Independents can be swayed. Not to mention Never Trumpers who might finally get a clue!

I think this is why our “unbiased” media is going simply CRAZY bashing Trump this week. They have an idea something is coming.

4 top DNC officials forced to resign would disagree with you.

Whatever they have it would have to be something so massive that not even the DNC media could keep it secret..so far the DNC Leaks they have not reported on, it was only circulating on twitter, but this would have to be a massive bombshell that the poor widdle Clinton loving media would have to report it and frown while they are doing it

Of Hillary Clinton:

You wrote back in February — and I’m quoting now — “She’s a war hawk who gets an unseemly emotional rush out of killing people. She shouldn’t be let near a gun shop, much less an army. She certainly shouldn’t become president.”

Wow!

Assange seems anxious in his recent interviews to distinguish between hacking and leaking. It could be that this was an inside job, a leak, despite the fact that he acknowledges that he knows the DNC was hacked for a number of years by several players.

Or, of course, he may just be muddying the waters. In any case he is, at least at this point in time, more friend than foe.

Most of the folks feeling the Bern are now Feeling the Stein, at least here in Cali. Hillary will win by 20 instead of 30.

Most Democrats really believe that ISIS was Bush’s fault, even though the Obama administration with Hillary’s help created, funder, trained and armed ISIS
