Rand Paul: Possible That Leaked DNC Emails Were Given to WikiLeaks By Insider
Big League Politics ^ | 10/24/17 | Cassandra Fairbanks

In an appearance on Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning, Senator Rand Paul floated the possibility that the Democratic National Committee emails were leaked to WikiLeaks by an insider, rather than “the Russians.”

It has long been speculated that murdered DNC data analyst Seth Rich was behind the leaked emails.

When asked by Ainsley Earhardt for his reaction to the news that a lawyer for the Clinton campaign and the DNC had funded the infamous Fusion GPS dossier on Trump, Paul laughed.

“It amazes me for a year the Democrats have been whining, whining, and whining saying they lost because of the Russians. It looks like it’s their subterfuge, their ideas, they’re buying the dossier,” Paul stated.

Paul then went on to bravely mention the “rumors” that the leaked emails came from the Democrats.

“Also, you know there are rumors the leaks that went to Wikileaks from all of Clinton emails came from the Democrats as well.  So it’s kind of funny, everything they blamed on Republicans it looks like they were the ones responsible for,” Paul asserted.

In audio files previously released by Big League Politics, Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh asserted that Rich had contacted WikiLeaks with sample emails from the leak, claiming to have seen an FBI document that backed up his belief.

“There are no DNC or Podesta emails that exist beyond May 21 or 22, last email from either one of those groups. What the report says is that some time in late Spring… he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer,” Hersh says in the recording. “Anyway, they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents — of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC.”

Hersh additionally accused the Obama administration of fabricating the Russian hacking narrative, as people like John Brennan and James Clapper have motivation for wanting Hillary Clinton to win the election over Donald Trump.

“Anyways, Wikileaks got access, and before he was killed- I can tell you right now Brennan is an asshole. Uh, I’ve known all these people for years. Clapper is sort of a better guy but not rocket scientist, the NSA guy’s a fucking moron, and they don’t- you know the trouble with all of those guys is that the only way they’re going to make it to a board or two and get hired by (?) and get some fat cat contracts is if Hillary stayed in. With Trump they’re gone, they’re done, they’re going to live on their pension, they’re not going to make it. And I gotta tell you guys, they don’t want to live on their pension, they want to be on boards,” Hersh says. A full transcript of the audio was posted to Reddit by a dedicated user.

Rich was shot in the back in the early morning hours of July 10, 2016, near his home while he was on the phone with his girlfriend — 12 days before the publication of the DNC emails by WikiLeaks. The police initially ruled that it was a botched robbery — but his wallet, watch, and necklace were still on his person when he was discovered by police.

Though Assange has infamously expressed interest in Rich, he has always maintained that WikiLeaks will never name a source. WikiLeaks has offered a $20,000 reward for Rich’s murderer however, and has retweeted articles that asserted he was their source without providing any additional comment.

Julian Assange has all but admitted that Seth Rich was the leaker.

Guaran-damn-teed they were! Tech pros have already said the data rate was so high it could only have been done from a local connection, not over the internet. Think about how long it takes to download 10 files over the internet vs. how long it takes to copy the same files on your PC, it’s really that simple.

Someone told Paul or did he read this on his own? It’s only been suspected since Rich died over a year ago.

Would it be possible for Rand Paul to ask about the elephant in the room? Namely, why has Mueller made no attempt to interview Assange??? Assange knows where the emails came from. He’s said over and over they didn’t come from the Russians or from a hacker. Assange has done everything but put Seth Rich’s name above the Ecuadorian embassy in neon lights.

Why is Mueller avoiding him like the plague???

(Assange has indicated,btw, that he is more than willing to speak to Mueller. He’d put this investigation to bed in five minutes.)

People have known this for a long time. There was even a video out in 2016 that stated such: "We (the Wikileaks sources) are not Russian."

Welcome to the real world, Senator Paul.

Mueller is avoiding Assange like the plague because Mueller's investigation actually has nothing to do with alleged Russian hacking of the DNC and the Clinton campaign.

It's starting to look more likely that Mueller's investigation is actually focused on Russian bribes paid to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for concessions from the Obama administration and future concessions from a Clinton administration.

Think of this as a classic case of a "dog that didn't bark," in detective parlance.

Didn’t Julian Assange say as much? Assange used to be a hero to liberals. Now that his version of things contradicts Hillary Clinton’s and the DNC’s, he’s gone from hero to villain in a blink of an eye.

Bull bleep. If Mueller had any interest in the facts he would want to know who leaked to Assange. That is pertinent information in and of itself. Mueller’s supposed mandate was to investigate collusion. Ruling out Russia as the source of the Wikileaks is a fundamental part of that investigation.

It's all for show. Mueller is borrowing a page from Comey's Hillary notes.

Investigate the possible ties to Russia from the Podestas and Clintons and then conclude that there is no evidence to show wrong doing. Even though the investigation has just started, Mueller has already drafted a letter stating that conclusion.

Then state that Trump was very sophisticated in his Russian schemes and that the investigation will take.more time.

Because Assange would ruin everything they want to keep hidden.

You nailed it. Hilkary-ally-Mueller has hired every high-powered Clinton-crony lawyer he could get his hands on. He will investigate Podesta only to clear Clinton’s allies. The very fact that Mueller won’t go near Assange tells us all we need to know. Dirty cop Mueller is up to his old tricks.

I still think that the possibility of the boys at Teneo being involved is worth looking at too.
