Lawyer: Assange was offered US pardon if he cleared Russia

A lawyer for Julian Assange said Wednesday that the WikiLeaks founder plans to claim during his extradition hearing that he was offered a pardon by the Trump administration if he agreed to say Russia was not involved in leaking Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 U.S. election campaign.
Assange is fighting extradition to the United States on spying charges, and his full court hearing is due to begin next week.
At a preliminary hearing, lawyer Edward Fitzgerald said that in August 2017, then-Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher visited Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
Fitzgerald said a statement from another Assange lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, recounted "Mr. Rohrabacher going to see Mr. Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr. Assange ... said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

So, after 32 MILLION dollars, 2800 warrants, 500 indictments and a final conclusion by the Mueller Report that, Neither Trump, nor his campaign, colluded with Russia, Trump would tell Assange that he would get a pardon, if Assange claimed Russia was not involved in the DNC emails during the 2016 election campaign (which again, HE had nothing to do with). That is one of the worst Conspiracy Theories every.
Here is what happened in the 2016 election campaign: During the campaign, Russia wanted Marxist-Leninist Socialist, Sanders to win. When the DNC shut out Sanders, Russia released the emails, in retaliation for Sanders being shut out. Russia (old name, Union of Soviet SOCIALISTS Republic), still prefers to align with Socialist nations (i.e., China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, et cetera), even going so far as to have joint military drills with some. Russia is simply the former Democratic party's "red-herring."
If Sanders wins, watch how fast the congratulatory letters and calls will come in from the above nations, as well as Russia. They will suddenly become great friends...and our individual liberties and rights afforded in the Constitution....well....down the drain.

Only because trumpscum hacks don’t believe in the rule of law.
Scum

How would you know that this is made up?

Trump constantly touted how great Wikileaks is and told the world in Helsinki that he belives Putin over American intellegince when it comes to Russian involvement in hacking the materials WikiLeaks published.

We KNOW what Trump wanted Assange to say, we don't know if he actually offered up leniency to get it, but it wouldn't be far fetched and Assange just may have some evidence to back it up.

Common sense.

Explain that.

Sound and prudent judgment based on an uncomplicated perception of the situation or facts.

So you can't.

Duly noted.

I gave you precisely what you asked for. That it flies by you is due to your cognitive deficit, not mine.

Lolz look kid, you may be dumb enough to buy that bullpucky but don't try to project your stupidity onto me.

BTW, I knew you couldn't explain it when I asked. They aren't your thoughts. You are just parroting what you see told to say like a good little cultist.

Dismissed.

Democrats have played their hand with the impeachment and cannot do so again.

True, but they will try something. They've reached a desperate stage. Their proposals are being laughed at and their candidates are boring.

You guys don't get it do you? None of this shit happens if the Fuckwit in Chief just shuts up and gets on with the job. But he has lived in such a sychophantic world and he's never had any barriers put in front of him when he was in the private sector- no matter what he does - he thinks acting like a shitkicker for all the world to see, is the norm. He has no filters.

He is the piece of shit that keeps on giving.

I really don't get this at all. Assange has claimed multiple times that he did not get the emails from Russians. Of course, he is lying, and everyone knows he is lying. But the quotes are already there for Trump to use.

Assange hasn't said anything that was ever shown to be wrong. No, he is not lying. And I say this as someone that does not support Trump. They were released internally.

Seems he was offered a pardon if he'd lie about Russia being involved in the wikileaks email hacks

Trumpers fell back on those denials time and again...under the bus HE goes...

I still support him no matter what. Assange and those like him are essential to keeping the public informed of what their corrupt government is up to behind our backs.

"I still support him no matter what" #Becauseitsacult

Assange hasn't said anything that was ever shown to be wrong. No, he is not lying. A

False. He was lying his ass off. Guccifer 2.0 made that clear himself. Assange's cover? Fomenting Seth rich conspiracies. And now, assange's lawyer is saying Assange was asked to make "false statements"..the precise statements Assange once claimed were true.

Sorry, he lied.

Nothing he has ever said has been shown to be wrong. He had no reason to lie about this .

None.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

False, and I just showed you an example

He absolutely did have a reason, as he wanted to maintain the apolitical/nonpartisan appearance of WikiLeaks. Unfortunately, he ruined that singlehandedly by both partnering with Russian intelligence and by going out of his way to shield Russia and Putin from damning leaks. He knew he ruined it. So he lied.

He should just go away and let someone else take over. He is done.

 

[Lastamender]

I did not. TopTenn website sent me emails, but I knew Trump was a lying SOS. I am not on facebook, so I did not get the 13 state advertising campaign. I am an avid shooter and considered competent with any weapon I ever fired, but do not support the NRA so was immune to their influence over that organization. My daddy taught me to spot hucksters a mile off and avoid liars and people of low morals. That is why knew not to vote Trump. I didn't vote the Hill because I knew she was equally morally and ethically challenged, having seen her in politics and as Sec of State. Being independent is a wonderful thing. You should try it. You could have principles again.

Claiming you an independent doesn't mean shit......and it doesn't shield you from anything either...no matter how much you think it does...

At least I was smart enough and independent enough to not follow the crowd to knowingly vote for one of those two. I am only shielded by being debt free and financially solid for the rest of my foreseeable life. Good luck to you as you follow the herd.

unfortunately you were misinformed about Hillary. All of the crap about her was proven wrong in the end and the emails were just bologna. Everything was investigated nothing there.

All of the crap about her was proven wrong

Because all the evidence was destroyed, some with the FBI's help.

All of it proven wrong all of it. she is allowed to delete her personal emails. She had five lawyers to pick the ones that were personal. You people start with her being a criminal covering up things and there is there is nothing to cover up. She was a fine Secretary of State. This is the first and last time that emails will decide an election.

She is a criminal given a pass by the Obama ass kissing FBI. You are deluded and wrong.

"They were all sent or received by you, Ms. Clinton. That means they're all personal, right?"

She turned over 30 some thousand emails that were not personal and destroyed around 30,000 that were. Try some real news media or read something not from Rupert Murdoch.
