Interesting... Some Freepers were proposing this in many of the previous threads. It looks like it was on the table.

More testimony:

@suigenerisjen: Rohrabacher said he came with the knowledge and authorisation of president Trump to offer a deal in which Julian would reveal the DNC source in exchange for a pardon as this was seen to benefit Trump who at the time was the subject of the Mueller investigation

This was known way back in February, but you posted this as if it was new?

Thanks!

This is part of Assange’s case. They’re trying to show the extradition request is “political” which would not be permitted under the Treaty (I think).

Assange knows that Seth Rich was the leaker of the DNC. Let’s hope he can get the message out before he suffers an Epstein event.

This is extremely misleading.

The tweet makes it sound like Rohrabacher himself said he came with authorization from Trump.

But it’s not him, it’s another witness who is making the claim that Rohrabacher said this. And the tweet fails to note that both Trump and Rohrabacher himself denied it.

Sure, it came from the case. But so what. You can get a witness to claim and say anything and it gets entered into a case.

Rohrbacher could certainly be the link between US Gov and Russian intelligence.

Apologies I’m just going from twitter.

Access to the court is heavily restricted so its very difficult...

Yeah, when you read a tweet, ask yourself, what is the source?
What is the credibility of that source?

Are there other possibilities?

Possibilities include
The source (”witness”) lied, either own motivation or paid, a fabrication.

The source misheard / misunderstood / misconstrued
An offer was made, but it was without the knowledge of trump, just Rohrabacher alone.

An offer was made with trump’s knowledge, but it never was sincere, they were smoking out if he knew and what he knew for ‘free’ with a fake offer.

There are other possibilities.
The fact that a witness made this claim in court is not a finding of fact by the court.

Trump is neck and neck, if not ahead of Biden. Why would he need saving?

Pennsylvania. And soon, most likely, a bunch of other states.
