Assange fanned the flames even higher on August 25, 2016, when he was asked in a television interview, “Why are you so interested in Seth Rich’s killer?”
“We’re very interested in anything that might be a threat to alleged Wikileaks sources,” Assange answered. “If there’s someone who’s potentially connected to our publication, and that person has been murdered in suspicious circumstances, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the two are connected. But it is a very serious matter .. that type of allegation is very serious, as it’s taken very seriously by us.”
Assange never came out and said it, but his “ statements about Rich implied falsely that he had been the source of the stolen DNC emails,” Mueller notes.
Mueller was not interested to interview Assange, Craig Murray, Josef Mifsud, Stefan Halper, etc.
