Former California Republican congressman Dana Rohrabacher confirmed in a new interview that during a three-hour meeting at the Ecuadorian Embassy in August 2017, he told Julian Assange he would get President Trump to give him a pardon if he turned over information proving the Russians had not been the source of internal Democratic National Committee emails published by WikiLeaks.
In a phone interview with Yahoo News, Rohrabacher said his goal during the meeting was to find proof for a widely debunked conspiracy theory: that WikiLeaks’ real source for the DNC emails was not Russian intelligence agents, as U.S. officials have since concluded, but former DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was murdered on the streets of Washington in July 2016 in what police believe was a botched robbery.

It wasn’t a hack that gathered the info given to Assange. It was a download.
Apparently the major media morons are ignoring the fact that Assange all but straight up said the DNC leak was Seth Rich. And they all went wild.
Sure, I’ve seen the analyses of the data rate. It was most likely downloaded to a local thumb drive, which boosts the Seth Rich theory.
100%
Is Rohrabacher stupid?
Everyone knows Russia didn’t hack the DNC, so that is the only potential proof that Assange could offer and thus would merit immunity. Jeesh!
While they twist all of this around, I believe Wikileaks never reveals its sources, but that Assange already said the source was not the Russians. He was being asked for evidence of his claim.
It would be worth it if he dropped the dime and outted who killed Seth Rich.
Yep.
No, that was merely the claim of the DNC that has been echoed over and over and over and over and..........ad nauseum.
To this date, the DNC has refused to turn over the server for analysis........
Probably, but maybe he’s just high.
Makes sense. Almost can’t believe the Dems would “take him out” but I’m not a coinincedent fan.
Rohrabacher didn’t have the authority to make such a promise.
No he didn't. And it appears that he certainly didn't discuss it with Trump ahead of time. But Assange's attorney didn't know that.
That’s on him. Doesn’t relate to Trump.
Reminds me of Livingston in Paris, where he did not have authority to buy “the whole of it” (Louisiana) but did so anyway.
Old joke -- how can you tell when a lawyer's lying? His lips move.
