Assange Statement on the US-Election
WikiLeaks via Drudge ^ | 11/08/2016 | Julian Assange

Posted on 11/08/2016 8:24:03 AM PST by Prov1322

In recent months, WikiLeaks and I personally have come under enormous pressure to stop publishing what the Clinton campaign says about itself to itself. That pressure has come from the campaign’s allies, including the Obama administration, and from liberals who are anxious about who will be elected US President.

On the eve of the election, it is important to restate why we have published what we have.

The right to receive and impart true information is the guiding principle of WikiLeaks – an organization that has a staff and organizational mission far beyond myself. Our organization defends the public’s right to be informed.

This is why, irrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public which is better informed as a result of our work.

Are we being Assanged (punk'd)? Months ago he said in an interview that he would reveal info that would have HRC jailed. He repeated that claim last week with the jailing comment if she did not drop out of the race.

So, what is his end game with this? While he proclaims to love freedom and free flow of information, I expect that he is not a fan of the USA nor of our system of government. Is he just trying to create chaos, hoping that HRC gets elected and then watching us twist in the wind with a Congress that will not impeach?

I don't get his willingness to make statements like that with no follow-through.

That said, Trump/Pence Landslide 2016!

There actually is enough in there to have her and multiple people indicted, if we had an independent and ethical justice system.

Exactly! Plus folks like Alefantis are going to jail and on the way he will rat out Brock who will rat out Soros. THAT is “how it is done”.

What else can he do? He gets the information out. He can’t make people do anything with it.

Exactly. Assange mistakenly thought the U.S. still had an uncorrupted system of justice.

He is probablly holding off on some of the most egregous crimes in case she tries to steal the election. If she goes quietly, then the info will come out eventually, anyway.

This is correct. Imagine if just ONE of the thousands of revelations from WikiLeaks had been something against Trump instead of Hitlery and her cabal of criminals.

The media would have covered it non-stop, quisling GOPe shitsuckers would have demanded Trump’s withdrawal from the race and probably also demanded that he commit suicide.

With what has already been released she should have been jailed.

0Hour1 and Kim DotCom kept saying the big one is coming. We really expected the 33K that was deleted.

Comey should pack his bags NOW.

Months ago he said in an interview that he would reveal info that would have HRC jailed.

Actually, I think he said "indicted". And, he has revealed information that would be indictable, if the FBI wasn't "in the tank" for Hillary.

He repeated that claim last week with the jailing comment if she did not drop out of the race.

That was a faked Twitter post.

He’s probably reserved the impeachment-grade stuff for tomorrow, in the event she wins, it might do more net good then, since non-political junkies don’t seem to follow WL much, and the 40% committed RATS absolutely do not care what she does.

Though I have very mixed feelings about Mr. Assange, his statement could have come straight from the mouths of the Founding Fathers.

Julian has given us more information that we could have hoped for—the rest is up to us.

To those who are whining I say this—you need to take responsibility every day to do what you can to make sure every single American understands what is in these documents.

Win or lose today, this fight has just started.

A Republic—if we can keep it!

Just the business about paying for Chelsea’s wedding out of tax-exempt Foundation money should be enough to put them all in jail - but my guess is the Assange saved the best to hold over a possible-president Hillary’s head to get himself out of jail....

Well that is an interesting angle ... to hold off on the hard evidence until AFTER she wins the election. That will show them. :-)

“he would reveal info that would have HRC jailed”

He HAS revealed info that would have her jailed if we didn’t have people AS CORRUPTED AS SHE IS in the positions that should be jailing her.
