WikiLeaks founder: Obama admin trying to delegitimize' Trump
Source: The Hill
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says there's an "obvious" reason the Obama administration has focused on Russia's alleged role in Democratic hacks leading up to Donald Trump's electoral win.
Theyre trying to delegitimize the Trump administration as it goes into the White House, Assange said during an interview with Fox News's Sean Hannity airing Tuesday night, according to a transcript of excerpts from the network. They are trying to say that President-elect Trump is not a legitimate president," Assange said during the interview, which was conducted at the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he has been staying.
"Our publications had wide uptake by the American people, theyre all true, Assange continued. But thats not the allegation thats being presented by the Obama White House.
Assange reiterated the group's denial that Russia was the source of the Democratic documents released over the summer. "Our source is not a state party, so the answer for our interactions is no, he said.

(6,917 posts)Almost ANY action taken by Obama is contrary to the interest of someone intent on looting the treasury and destroying the U.S. Government from within.
A treasonous act as notorious as attacking government facilities by force.
They are vultures. And for a vulture to eat, something must be dead first.

Too bad as this creep, once thought to be progressive and on the side of justice, is now shilling for trump.
We are in bizarro world for sure.

(26,291 posts)Now Trump could issue him a blanket pardon but if he does that he might as well just cut the throat of every Republican in office that supported him come the next election as it would probably be less painful for them.

(2,108 posts)Now wiki leaks is part of the power play that guided Trump into office.
I think their mission statement has skewed significantly since the Rumsfeld days.

And really, we didn't need wikileaks to tell us that war is a racket. That book was written almost 100 years ago.
think
(11,641 posts)Other countries get universal health care. We get more wars where our citizens must go and fight enemies that the Bush administration helped create.
War is still extremely profitable for a handful of corporate interests and hardly anyone knows who the fuck Smedley Butler is.
How many people even today understand that the rules of engagement were loosened under Rumsfeld outside die hard wonks?
How many people even know Wikileaks released this video?
We need MORE people speaking out about the racket of war not less...

Bullshit, Republicans knew their trump is a con man and they allowed him to run and even voted for the King of lechery. He's dangerous and Unfit, that will never be fixed, no matter how many fairy-tales the Hill and fox lies 'push'.
