Robert Mueller condemns Trump's 'problematic' praise of WikiLeaks
CNN ^ | 07/24/2019 | Jeremy Herb

Former special counsel Robert Mueller condemned President Donald Trump's tweets touting WikiLeaks' stolen emails during the 2016 campaign, in what were his sharpest comments criticizing the President's conduct.

"Problematic is an understatement in terms of what it displays in terms of giving some hope or some boost to what is and should be illegal activity," Mueller said after Rep. Mike Quigley, an Illinois Democrat, read Trump's tweets aloud during the House Intelligence Committee hearing, the second of two high-profile public hearings Wednesday. Mueller also called Donald Trump Jr.'s Twitter messages exchanged with WikiLeaks "disturbing" and said they were subject to investigation.

Wikileaks wouldn’t exist if we had honest, capable journalists. Hillary’s crimes weren’t covered in the “main stream media”. Wikileaks delivered truth.

Incredibly lame complaint.

What is really problematic is the fact that the DNC emails weren’t hacked they were leaked and you, Bob Mueller, knew that and ignored that knowledge.

The actual source for Wikileaks being murdered is not problematic?

I wonder how Assange will be regarded, say, 30 or 40 years from now.

I LOVE that he helped us out a lot.

Don’t know enough to say overall whether he was a good guy, a bad guy or neither.

And by whose definition he would be a good or bad guy.

Bobby-boy, the “theft” (or more accurately the release) of dnc documents pales in comparison to the crimes of the Democratics. Get your priorities straight!
