The legendary Sarah Palin has made a touching video calling for Julian Assange to be pardoned.
Palin has been an unlikely supporter of the organization, as WikiLeaks published Palin’s own hacked emails during the 2008 election while she was a presidential candidate.
“Hey this is Sarah Palin up in Alaska and I am the first one to admit when I make a mistake,” Palin begins in the video. “I made a mistake some years ago, not supporting Julian Assange — thinking that he was a bad guy, that he leaked material that perhaps he shouldn’t — and I’ve learned a lot since then.” “I think Julian did the right thing, and Julian did us all a favor in America… did the world a favor… by fighting for what he believed was right — and ultimately he’s been proven to be right. He deserves a pardon. He deserves all of us to understand more about what he has done in the name of real journalism, and that’s getting to the bottom of issues that the public really needs to hear about and benefit from.” “I know that it’s coming down to the wire on whether he’s going to be pardoned or not. I want more Americans to speak out on his behalf, and to understand what it is that he has done — and what has been done to him,” Palin says. “He was working on the people’s behalf to allow information to get to us so that we could make up our minds about different issues, about different people. He did the right thing. I support him, and I hope that more and more people, especially as it comes down to the wire, will speak up in support of pardoning Julian. God bless him.”
Though Palin’s emails did not contain anything scandalous, the Washington Post and other news organizations called for volunteers to help their reporters dig through them and treated the publication far differently than they did when DNC emails leaked in 2016.
If you want to avoid GP's cluttered website, you can find Palin's video at the following:
It is my hope that prior to leaving office, President Trump pardons Assange, Snowden, and unclassified all those documents he's been teasing about doing. I expect to be disappointed but hope I won't be.
Ping for your interest
The more pardons , the better.
Some scabs need to be ripped off.
Maybe he can pardon Sarah too. Talk about someone who got a raw deal from the gitgo.
BUMP
Pompeo will never let that happen.
Legendary? OK.
She also thought highly of McCain.
Then her kids got pregnant or went to jail.
And then her husband left her.
Go, Sairy GO!
Good for Sarah! A good person admits when they were wrong.
I wish Palin would run for the Alaska Senate seat in 2022.
When I see GP, I expect all caps, and numerous exclamation points.
You have let me down on two fronts Sir...
We also thought highly of McCain back then. I voted for him but mostly because of Palin. She is a female Trump, not afraid to tell the truth. But she allowed herself to get stomped on, unlike Trump. She was the first one to call Obama Community organizer. I remember everyone gasped at that. Then they tore her apart along with the family.
On the other hand, they exposed the official corruption and abuses of political and government power that has become an existential threat to America.
My basic assumptions of the legitimacy of our justice and intelligence systems have been totally destroyed. It is becoming obvious that theses institutions have become so corrupted that they no longer serve the national interests, they work contrary to it.
They have become an American version of the old East German secret police, the STASI, and act as enforcers to intimidate and destroy the perceived enemies (ie America's normals in fly over) of the Deep State apparatus (ie American's version of the old Soviet nomenklatura class) . They pose an existential threat to the United States unless reformed.
Especially Assange.
With what is just now finally coming out about Hillary Clinton and the Obama Admin, th FBI, the CIA and DOJ it is no exaggeration to say he may have saved our country.
*** Pompeo will never let that happen. ***
If anyone has been following Assange’s hearings I want to know why Sheldon Adelson’s rep’s have been there consulting with our DOJ attorneys during hearings. The swamp is so deep, and so many, including our SOS, and his predecessors are up to their eyeballs in the stench.
Trump has failed me as a mega DJT supporter four years ago on two things.
Assange, and Syria. After those two fails, I have been less invested in POTUS’ woes.
“ Assange and Snowden did enormous damage to the United States.”
Besides exposing illegal activity by the government and high-place politicians, what damage did they do? Please provide specifics, not generalized quotes about generalized “damage” from government officials who are mad their illegalities were revealed. Thanks.
Pardoning Assange and Snowden, and declassifying documents would be the type of bold strike against the Deep State that should've defined the Trump Presidency. If he doesn't do these things prior to leaving when he could have, it's hard to take him seriously.
Should be uploaded to Rumble as well
Stop giving OurTube/Twirper the clicks
I agree, pardon Assange.
I like Sarah but she was loyal to John McCain till the bitter end
That's an amazing accomplishment, since that was his job title for a few years.
She is a female Trump
Yeah, in a fantasy world where Trump fails and has failure kids and screeches.
