Hillary Clinton says Julian Assange colluded with Russia to help Donald Trump win US election
ABC News ^ | October 16, 2017 | Sarah Ferguson, Jeanavive McGregor, Justin Stevens, staff

Posted on 10/16/2017 5:42:01 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Julian Assange has launched a personal attack on Hillary Clinton, accusing her of lying and displaying a "cold creepiness" after the former US presidential candidate told the ABC the WikiLeaks founder is a "tool of Russian intelligence".

In an exclusive interview with Four Corners, Mrs Clinton alleged Mr Assange colluded with a Russian intelligence operation to disrupt the 2016 US election and damage her candidacy for president.

"Assange has become a kind of nihilistic opportunist who does the bidding of a dictator," she said.

"WikiLeaks is unfortunately now practically a fully owned subsidiary of Russian intelligence."

The Wikileaks founder, who has been living inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012, hit back this morning, tweeting that Mrs Clinton was "not a credible person".

Tweeting a link to the Four Corners interview, Mr Assange said there was "something wrong" with her.

"It is not just her constant lying. It is not just that she throws off menacing glares and seethes thwarted entitlement," he said. "Something much darker rides along with it. A cold creepiness rarely seen."

Hillary “takes responsibility” of course, but then transitions into one of her long list of excuses for being a loser. Each of the following came from Hillary, from one of her drones, or from a pro-Hillary article - I am not creative enough to have made these up.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

We all hate her. But she is trying to organize the overthrow of the government, and she is attacking Trump in foreign nations.
////////////////////

Both Clinton’s and Obama are revolutionaries who successfully installed their operatives into the highest levels of our intelligence community. These people hate and fear Assange because the guy exposes their illegal surveillance of citizens and their mission to destroy the republic. The deep state orchestrated much of the “dirt” against Trump and tried to set Assange up as patsy for the Russian Gov’t. In actuality Assange could never take “state sponsored” information without losing credibility with the whistleblower citizens who provide him with information. Totalitarian governments, especially ours, hate Assange and all rogue individuals (read that Donald Trump) who oppose the global elites
This was a twofer. Get rid of Trump and Assange with one blow. The free internet thwarted their plan thus far but the jury is still out. Good chance if Trump turns economy around he will be eliminated. The last thing they would allow is a second term

You know, I don’t think you’re wrong, either. Watching some of the stuff that happens. But then, I work for Nully.

Haven’t been paid in a while though......will it be Rubles or diamonds this time, boss?

She is attempting to preempt the document dump Assange is about to make. Classic clinton tactic.

Nope, her own show. Do you think she’d share the stage with anyone else? And The View is nothing but a cackle party.

All the furor over the Podesta emails and the false allegations that the Russians caused their release...diverts attention from what was in the emails. If Podesta had not said damning things in the emails there would have been nothing newsworthy to release.

Meanwhile we still don't know what was in the missing 33,000 emails...how many cases of shakedowns and promises of future favors after she got election?

Hillary should have to reimburse the taxpayers for this expensive witch hunt that is the “special counsel.” It was, after all, her careless and baseless claim during her campaign that caused the witch hunt to be launched in the first place.

True, the Russia myth was formed already before Trump won. Presumably if he'd lost they'd have used it anyway, for they thought they'd win, yet they all kept pointing at Russia.

On CNN on election night, Obamunist Van Jones was talking about "pushback" and resistance, saying that "decent people do not want to see that type of agenda" (anti "immigration"); and there'd be a massive fight over SCOTUS appointments, and ...

"...there are people around the world who are watching this. They are appalled, they are shocked, they are surprised. The markets are showing it. And there's some people who are laughing. And some of them are in the Kremlin...this is the first election in which an enemy power, deliberately and explicitly, interfered in our election, and got away with it! And they interfered in our election in a one-sided way...they hacked Democrats, and we're going to have to figure out now what is our relationship to Russia going forward. And if Russia got away with it, this time, what if the Chinese do it to the Republicans next time, we are now living in a completely different context...(unintelligible)...national security, needs to be talked about."

Nor was this talking point unique to CNN. On ABC, Martha Radditz was saying Putin was happy. On NBC they were even more rabid.
