WikiLeaks operative: Russia did NOT provide Clinton emails - they were handed over at D.C. park
Daily Mail ^ | December 14, 2016 | By Alana Goodman

A Wikileaks envoy today claims he personally received Clinton campaign emails in Washington D.C. after they were leaked by 'disgusted' whisteblowers - and not hacked by Russia.

Craig Murray, former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and a close associate of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, told Dailymail.com that he flew to Washington, D.C. for a clandestine hand-off with one of the email sources in September.

'Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians,' said Murray in an interview with Dailymail.com on Tuesday. 'The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.'

His account contradicts directly the version of how thousands of Democratic emails were published before the election being advanced by U.S. intelligence.

Murray is a controversial figure who was removed from his post as a British ambassador amid allegations of misconduct. He was cleared of those but left the diplomatic service in acrimony.

His links to Wikileaks are well known and while his account is likely to be seen as both unprovable and possibly biased, it is also the first intervention by Wikileaks since reports surfaced last week that the CIA believed Russia hacked the Clinton emails to help hand the election to Donald Trump. . .

I’m beginning to think that this whole “Russian Hack” nonsense is a red herring to flush out the true source of the leak.

Correct he did not reveal his source. The reporter asked him if he offered the reward because Rich was his source. He did not deny it, nor did he confirm it. He side stepped the issue with a general statement of support for investigation-I can’t recall exact wording.

He did deny outright that it was Russia, but then if it was Russia, I would expect him to deny it.

I myself believe it was Leaks from more than one source. Hillary has made a lot of enemies over the years.

"In any case, these hacking stories all miss the most important point. That is that the emails revealed a deep level of corruption and collusion between the Democrats and the media."

Which is precisely why they are trying their best to obfuscate those facts in a sh*tstorm of FUD.

There once was a leaker named Seth
Who showed up one day done to death
An e-mail or two
Were most certainly true
To anyone not high on meth

This is so much more plausible than any nonsense about Russian hackers choosing to attack the DNC while leaving the RNC alone.

...these hacking stories all miss the most important point. That is that the emails revealed a deep level of corruption and collusion between the Democrats and the media.

Did leaked emails have an effect on the vote? FOXNews should commission a poll AND ASK people voters if they had heard of any of the following: (BEFORE THE ELECTION):

1. Democrats paid disruptors to incite violence at Trump rallies - then ran to the press to get them to object to the violence at Trump rallies.

2. That CNN gave Hillary debate questions ahead of the debate.

3. That the MSM coordinated campaign stories with the Hillary campaign.

4. Massive information on Pay to Play with the corrupt Clinton Foundation.

/

The MSM did everything they could to keep the lid on corruption stories about the Clinton trash... my guess is most people never heard the stuff.

CONDUCT A POLL FOXNEWS - FIND OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD HEARD ANY OF THE 'LEAKED' STUFF OUTSIDE OF DC AND FOLKS WHO WORK TO PAY ATTENTION.

97% of climate scientists agree that the Russians hacked the U.S. election on behalf of the wife-beating, white supremacist Trump.

I see my former in-laws house right near AU. My father-in-law made great steaks. My mother-in-law haunted houses for a living and was one of the original witches in “MacBeth” - Double Bubble, Toil and Trouble”.

Ah, those were the bad old days.
