Assange says he is '1,000% confident' that Russia was NOT the source for hacked Democratic emails which were published by WikiLeaks

Julian Assange claimed Barack Obama is 'trying to delegitimize Donald Trump'

Reiterated his claims Russia was not behind hacks during presidential election

Emails stolen from DNC and Clinton's campaign chairman were published online

But Assange said 'source is not Russian government and it is not a state party' WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said Barack Obama is 'trying to delegitimize the Trump administration' by claiming the Russian government hacked Democrats' emails during the bitter presidential election.

Assange, whose interview with Sean Hannity will air on Fox News tonight, also reiterated his claims that Russia was not the source of the hacks.

He told Hannity 'with a thousand per cent' confidence that the Russian government was not responsible for emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman.

“The Russians hacked the election”

Translation, RAT-speak to English:

The democRATs tried to steal the election, but lost AND got caught.

All very well and good but this is the Liberal Left we are dealing with here.

It's not what you can prove that counts...it's what you believe. 180 degrees opposite from the way the rest of the world works.

Math alert: 100% certainty is total certainty. 1000% is hyperbole. But, I believe him anyway.

I just listened to Laura Ingraham on Fox and Friends. She slandered Assange, something about narcissism, then she said that Assange would not necessarily know from where and from whom his leaks originated, thereby revealing her ignorance of Assange’s expertise in computer espionage tactics.

Ingraham appeared to be desirous that it was the Russians who hacked Podesta, etc. Sometimes, I have noticed, her desire to be seen as divinely objective overrides common sense. She is just like the rest of us — not a clue from whom it originates. Judge Napolitano says the source was our own intelligence people. I can believe that.

Given that Assange courted the leaks AND wouldn’t have wanted to be fooled by material that wasn’t genuine, it seems naive of Laura (and rather narcissistic of her) to make such comments.

The devil darkens the room then accuses you of failing eyesight.

I am SICK of hearing ‘Russian hacking’!! Countries have been SPYING on each other since people could cross borders. Telephones were tapped, now computers are ‘hacked’. Bottom line is- WHAT was revealed, not WHO revealed it! Our/Obama’s government COVERED UP what Hillary was doing. The ‘hackers’ were just delivering the info-they didn’t create it. The Russians(if it was them) cover up their own stuff-I guess most governments do-but pointing out hypocrisy while forcing the truth to light was extra. I don’t care WHO the ‘mailman’ was, it’s the info delivered that matters. Should there be hackers? No. Will there be? Yes, as long as people are people and there is opportunity. It would be better to make sure there is NO DIRT to be found instead of screaming that someone uncovered it.

The source was Podesta. He wrote the dreck. Who cares how it became public?

Despite all the evidence to the contrary, the democrats want to pin this on Republicans in an attempt to delegitimize Trump.

They don’t care if they destroy America, as long as they can ‘pin it’ on someone else.

There was a leak, but no hack.

This hacking crap was and is a purposeful distraction from corrupt, criminal Hitlery Rotten Clintoon’s illegal server emails, which if examined closely, will implicate Sens McCain and Graham, and many other demokkkRATs and RINOs, in the illegal and unconstitutional formation and arming of ISIS, in the Middle East, among many other crimes. That also led to the slaughter of 4 Americans in Benghazi, on 9-11-12.

Despite the hysterical claims of the press, the election was not hacked. The Democratic National Committee’s lousy IT security allowed someone – Seth Rich, whom the DNC had murdered – to access their emails which were then leaked. Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta fell for an age-old phishing scam that was as believable as getting millions of dollars from a Nigerian prince. Using the dimwitted media understanding of cybersecurity, they can claim that the DNC and Hillary’s campaign were “hacked,” but the election decisively was not. And the corrupt, covering-her-ample-ass press knows it.

John Bolton also indicated he’d (John) take the word of our government over Assange. I like(d) Bolton, but his credibility just took a huge hit on that stupid remark.

"1000% confident"

That's not quite the same as knowing.
