What crime did Assange commit for which he can be pardoned by a US president?
Hurting Hillary’s feelings
Sounds like a whole lotta nothing.
President Trump knows nothing about the deal with Asange? Impossible. Surely President Trump surfs the Internet, knows how to use Google, etc.
I simply do not believe President Trump lives in such a bubble.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I didn’t think the President could pardon a non-US citizen. Assange is Austrailian. The AG could give him full immunity however.
I’d heard that they were trying to keep this away from him, so I do believe it. He does live in a bubble actually, though he clearly watches Fox. But the Luther Strange endorsement alone should tell you that he’s not getting the full picture. It’s disturbing as hell. If it can be proven that Russia had nothing to do with the Wikileaks emails, poof goes the entire Russian narrative.
Dana is playing with fire.
We all know that the Deep State colluded to make Hillary President and is colluding to block Trump, but you can’t say it.
Don’t walk alone at night.
The narrative should go on. Clintonesque. Delay.
President Trump is now to be described as a captive crazy man now? Good lord but their propoganda is heavy-handed and clumsy.
This possibility (of a “deal”) is interesting, but also incredibly dangerous. Assange may or may not be able to provide utterly conclusive information. Does he really have perfectly reliable evidence of the source? Or could it be argued that he (and then President Trump) were played by disinformation???
I’m not saying I give credence to the “Russia, Russia” b.s that’s been spewed by the Democraps and MSM, but unless Assange can provide utterly conclusive evidence leading back to the original source, there could be one or more intermediaries to screw up the picture. It IS possibly, surely, that Assange has been played and/or that he would try to play the USA, in order to gain his freedom and possibly also just to stick it to the USA.
The worst thing would be for President Trump to grant a pardon for less than conclusive evidence, because then it would become part of the “obstruction of justice” chant of the Democraps, et al.
Didn't he commit conspiracy to commit espionage? You don't think Brad;ley Manning committed a crime? Assange was an accomplice.
Does President Trump not surf Free Republic ? Then he would surely know.
McMaster and DeStefano.
Assange is a self-absorbed opportunist, nothing more. Trump really doesn't like or trust the guy.
Rohrabacher is my Congressman. I’ve e-mailed him a few times about him being able to get a meeting with the President regarding the Assange information.
Yesterday, I just sent him a version of the below clip & told him that it appears the President does not know anything about the Assange information.
It is difficult to hear, but at about the :15 mark the question is asked.

It's already been proven. Didn't you see the article on "New Republic" ( a liberal magazine ) explaining how they proved the data was obtained directly off the DNC network by an inside source?
It has to do with the time stamps in the released Data dump. The time stamps show the data was moved at a speed of 23 megabits per second, which is impossible for them to do through an internet connection to the DNC (they tested this) but is the normal download speed to a flash drive plugged directly into a network computer.
The fastest transfer speed they could obtain in testing the DNC internet connection was 11 megabits per second, and the experts assert that an international connection couldn't even move data that fast.
The DNC emails were copied by someone in the system, and most people think it was murdered DNC employee, Seth Rich.
The only "rape" that ever existed was a little morning after regret. The "victim" has renounced the charges.
Didn't he commit conspiracy to commit espionage? You don't think Brad;ley Manning committed a crime? Assange was an accomplice.
I think the definitive case was the Pentagon Papers and Daniel Ellsberg, where it was decided that classified information given to the New York Times, and their subsequent publication of that information, did not incriminate them.
It is very difficult to convict Assange for doing the same thing with Manning, although the two-faced New York Times will be in there rooting for just that outcome.
