Lawyers representing the United States at Julian Assange’s extradition trial in Britain have accepted the claim that the WikiLeaks founder was offered a presidential pardon by GOP Congressman Dana Rohrabacher in exchange for helping cover up Russia’s involvement in hacking emails from the Democratic National Committee. Jennifer Robinson, a lawyer for WikiLeaks, told the court that she had attended a meeting between Assange, Rohrabacher, and pro-_____ troll Charles Johnson at Assange’s hide-out, inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Robinson said the two men claimed to be emissaries from Washington and “wanted us to believe they were acting on behalf of [_____].” She says Rohrabacher and Johnson told Assange that they could help grant him a pardon in exchange for him revealing information about the source of the WikiLeaks information that proved it was not the Russians who hacked Democratic emails. Assange and his team of lawyers rejected the deal. While the White House denies that ______ took part in any such plan, Assange’s lawyers previewed the allegation in a pre-trial hearing in February and now Robinson’s testimony has been heard in full. After her testimony, lawyers representing the U.S. accepted the witness statement as accurate and confirmed they had no intention of cross-examining the claim. They did dispute, however, that _____ gave his blessing for the pardon offer, And offered up some lame theory; US attorney James Lewis said: “The position of the government is we don't contest these things were said. We obviously do not accept the truth of what was said by others.”’ Yes, these things were said, but they aren’t true? Then why accept them at all? Oh, right … swamp. |

Yup! Swamp!
ReplyDeletetake care, xoxo :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this update, Bob. When all is said and done, don't you think it will be interesting to indict a former President for treason?? And then lock him up with all his Senate puppets. Please, God, start with Lindsey Graham who is not only an embarrassment with every word that escapes his mouth but also is hiding a significant secret that must surely be why he turned his back on the people of South Carolina to subjugate himself before the man who would be king.
Remember in November.

Sick. And not in a cool way. Just sick. And I am sick of Assange. Lock 'em all up.
ReplyDeletemore shit, different day from the swamp.
ReplyDeleteMy head hurts.
ReplyDeleteAssange is a nasty piece of work in himself - he was charged in Sweden with sexual assault/rape and hid in the Ecuadorean embassy to avoid being extradited there. During his time in the embassy, where he broke the rules and regulations the embassy asked him to abide by, he also refused to clean up after his cat and played numerous clebrities into saying "poor Julian, he's being treated so cruelly, imprisoned in the embassy!" he wasn't imprisoned in the embassy; he fled there in an attempt to evade justice. Plus he is as right-wing as most of the Trumposaur supporters.
ReplyDeleteAssange is a horrible person. Too much power corrupts, and he’s the perfect example.
ReplyDeleteAs for Cheeto not knowing? Ha! If it’s corruption, he’s in it.
I hope Assange gets what’s coming. He deserves it.
