CNN has come out with a story using documents obtained from the Ecuadorians. that shows Assange’s ties to Russian intelligence in the days leading up to the 2016 election.
It is crazy what Ecuador agreed to to cater to Assange. They allowed lists of people who could not be searched when they came to the embassy to see Assange, he could delete names from visitor logs, and would hold meetings in the woman’s bathroom to avoid surveillance.
There were meetings with people from Russia Today… Putin’s propaganda arm, German Hackers, hasty last minutes meetings with Russian nationals, a person in disguise delivering a package… some real weird stuff.
This article fills in a little of the redacted portions of the Mueller Report… for those who have indeed read it you may know what I am talking about.
What is becoming even more clear is that the whole Seth Rich thing was a complete fabrication.
When Roger Stone started to brag about his relationship with Assange I believed him.
I have always thought that he was pivotal in the Russian collusion puzzle.
That is not entirely true. The crime would have been whether Trump Campaign associates “coordinated with, cooperated with, encouraged, or gave support” to the Russia/WikiLeaks election interference activities. Of these it is unclear what the Mueller report found because this portion was redacted.
However Mueller did find evidence of collusion. But it was determined that it was not at a level to be prosecuted as a crime. However it is still unclear what evidence there is on Rodger Stone’s involvement.
This should be something that is brought to light during his trial.
Perhaps I did not make my point clear. Collusion in itself is not a crime. The crime was having to have proof of conspiracy which includes cooperation and/or coordination. In the report it is clearly stated that Mueller did find evidence of collusion. However the conspiracy aspect was not at a level to be prosecuted. So when Trump or anyone else says “no collusion” it really doesn’t mean anything. It would be accurate to say "no evidence of prosecutable conspiracy.
Not only that but it was Manning to gave Assange the info, Assange fled the country and Manning would still be in Federal prison if Obama had not commuted Mannings sentence!
What kind of twisted mind does it take to a draw this line to Trump and Republicans?
