California Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher met with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange Wednesday in an effort to obtain information about the source of a leak of Democratic officials’ emails.

Rohrabacher told The Daily Caller in an exclusive interview Thursday that Assange is hoping to leave the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he is currently in asylum, and that during the meeting they explored “what might be necessary to get him out.”

The congressman told TheDC that “if [Assange] is going to give us a big favor, he would obviously have to be pardoned to leave the Ecuadorian embassy.”

Not holding my breath.

If it does happen, Assange had better have multiple dead man’s switches.

This would be perfect. I can see the DNC complaining about the moves that are being made to get to the bottom of a situation that they had always claimed was a crime. LMAO.

I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt Assange will reveal his source, and without that he has nothing. My guess is that he's simply going to offer a rehash of the already published (and widely ignored) analysis of the logs that show the files were copied locally and not via network.

He's understandably eager to get the heck out of the embassy, but so far Trump hasn't shown any sign of relenting on the Intel agencies' desire to nail him. Without some bombshell, irrefutable proof of something that's not already known, I don't see this changing any time soon.

IIRC, Assange has said that Seth Rich was the source.

He's never said that. He has said that murder needs to be properly investigated, but he still insists that he will never reveal any of his sources. If he ever does reveal a source, then future leakers will be less likely to 100% trust him to keep their identities secret no matter what.

Will be easier to reveal a source if the source is dead.

Would he have the same reservations about revealing a deceased source?

I wouldn't think so... in fact I would have expected him to have done that much sooner, unless there were other people involved somehow.

With this info, we hope that Julian Assange can stay alive for a few more years while exposing the treason of the rats.
