WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange On ‘Destroying’ Hillary Clinton: “There’s Been A Lot Of Misquoting”
Yahoo News ^ | 10/4 | Nancy Tartaglione,

Posted on 10/04/2016 9:33:14 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

There are about one million documents to be released by year’s end. Some will come this week and are “significant in relation to the upcoming U.S. election,” Assange said. Asked directly if the docs will “destroy Clinton.” He answered, “There’s been a lot of misquoting of me and WikiLeaks publications. In this particular case, the misquoting has to do with that we intend, or I intend, to harm Hillary Clinton or that I don’t like Hillary Clinton. All those are false. They come about as a result it seems of this campaign and those who are trying to personalize our publications.”

Assange said he would release all the US election material before November 8 and installments would begin this week. Assange didn’t create these expectations of a “bombshell” this morning.

I will be disappointed if he doesn’t release the material. He promised otherwise this morning.

I think he sold out. Can’t trust a liberal.

“Hey, that’s exactly what the leftist and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former Chairwoman of the DNC said!”

And now she has a better job working directly for Hillary and no one in the media cares.

“Assange is waging psychological warfare against Hillary.”

Additionally, assuming he’s actually got the goods, Julian could also be doing the big buildup/tease as a means to gen up enough buzz that the releases themselves will be more difficult to be ignored by the enemedia.

At this point, is there anything possible to leak about Clinton that would destroy her in the eyes of her supporters

Same thing could be said about Trump and his supporters. The die hards on both sides are die hards. What should be going on now is an attempt by both campaigns to bring in NEW supporters to their campaigns.

I watched the entire interview in real time. Nobody got to Assange. He is saying that the documents will speak for themselves. It is not his mission to destroy Hillary but to expose the truth. This is source material just like everything else Wikileaks reveals. It is not directed at individuals.

During the presentation, they showed clips of various American politicians and pundits saying that Assange should be assassinated. They even included Hillary's remark about whether a drone could be used to take Assange out. Why was that clip in their presentation?

That would be poetic. But maybe a bit too late.

No, fair point. But by “hot air” I meant this round of reported releases. Not in the past.

“Assange should be assassinated”

I think he and others believe that order was given - by whom I wouldn’t venture a guess - and if he weren’t on VZ gov’t property, he’d already be toast.

He could just as easily be waging mind war on the Trump campaign. Or maybe on both and on the US as well. He hasnt exactly been an equal opportunity leaker when it has come to the nations or persons he has exposed.

The same Quisling Republicans who clutch their pearls every time Trump says something they think is outrageous are the SAME GOP Quislings who stuck it to Palin back in 2008 and hence.

Right after McCain announced her selection as VP everyone fell for Sarah, but the Quislings let the media tear her up without rebuttal, to include her selector himself, McCain. How long was it after her selection did the press run stories about how awful it was that she never aborted her Down’s Syndrome son or how long was it before Tina Fey and NBC convinced a huge number of people that Palin said she could “See Russia from my house”? Remember Katie Couric’s “Gotcha” interview? Did even one Quisling defend her?

No. And then no for the rest of the campaign, as the media waves crashed around her.

Later, after the GOP lost the election to the Purple-lipped Muslim, she went back to Alaska where she was incessantly attacked and sued by the Left and the media even sent reporters up to spy on her. She could not get a break and she was running out of money for lawyers. AND, of course, no Quislings came to her defense. So she quit. Took a couple of well-paying reality TV show and news opinion gigs.

She tried, I believe to get back into politics, at least as an adviser or perhaps a TEA party spokesperson, but the damage has already been done, and she was mocked continuously to this day.

No, spare me.

The Quislings, by the way, are still in office. Did you hear that only 12 Republican Senators voted to stop the sale of the ICANN to the UN? Yeah, just 12. Quislings have all the power. Sarah Palin goes down as a footnote in the history books. The Purple-Lipped Muslim still rules.

Some opposition are we, with our knives in each other’s backs!

This was very disappointing. Not sure why he backed off from Hillary. Carrot or stick?

>>that would destroy her in the eyes of her supporters<<

This is the reason I believe our country is pretty much doomed. At least 45% of America would vote for her. Another some odd % would vote for Gary Johnson and or Bernie.

We cannot turn this around. Hate to sound so cynical, but the landscape really looks bleak for America.
