Assange: For the umpteenth time, no… we didn’t get the emails from the Russians

There was an interview last night on Fox between Sean Hannity and long term Ecuadorean embassy resident Julian Assange. I’m not sure if more than four years holed up in that building is affecting his senses yet, but the Wikileaks founder still clearly wants to keep his hand in the game. The big takeaway being teased by Fox is that Assange once again made the claim (which has thus far been ignored in the media for the most part) that all of those Democratic emails they published did not, in fact, come from the Russians or any “state party.” Ian Schwartz at Real Clear Politics has the details.

HANNITY: Can you say to the American people, unequivocally, that you did not get this information about the DNC, John Podesta’s emails, can you tell the American people 1,000 percent that you did not get it from Russia or anybody associated with Russia?

JULIAN ASSANGE: Yes. We can say, we have said, repeatedly that over the last two months that our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party.

WTH? Who you gonna believe. They guy who actually got the emails and released them (apparently the content is irrelevant) or the folks who claim to have "highly re'lie'able sources" stating the russkies did it? Or was it some rogue 'huskies' that did it. Remember when the govt was trusted?

Imo, what we have now is a real quick, down and dirty IQ/competence test.

Believe anything pumped out by the msm = idiot.
Give any msm mouthpiece the benefit of the doubt = fool.

It's still about the content of the emails.....

Lawyers...There has to be Obama, Clinton & Podesta lawyers behind this someplace. I can smell'm.

So it's not about delegitimizing Trump....it's about saving their own a****. The old....watch what the other hand is doing.

Dear Russia;
Please ignore the Hallmark thank you card which I recently sent you. Go on ahead and enjoy the box of chocolates.

Sincerely,
DR

Who Ya' Gonna' Believe?

Does any person or entity have less credibility than our own federal government?

That’s the part of the story that gets me. It would be like endlessly arguing over which bookstore was first to sell Mein Kampf and never discuss what was in the book.

The msm doesn’t care about the truth. They only care about their spin.
