“A lawyer for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said that a former US congressman offered him a pardon on behalf of US President Donald Trump, in exchange for denying Russian involvement in the Democratic National Committee email leak.“

So it’s a lie, right?


Based on what we know it is perfectly correct - Assange's lawyer has indeed made this claim

Sounds to me like Rohrabacher thought he would be able to get Assange a pardon from Trump, but White House Chief of Staff John Kelly blocked Rohrabacher from doing so out of fear that 1) it might make Trump look sympathetic towards Russia  2) It would ruin the "Russia did it" story.

99.9% certain he is telling the truth - Assange most probably did ask him to make this statement on his behalf. I have no idea if Assnage is lying but a guy who smears the walls of the room he is living in with faeces has limited credibility in my eyes. Trump is a snake so possible he had some understanding with the H guy but zero proof of that has been reported or implied.

Who fucking knows?  Trump is already pulling out the 'I barely know him' line.


Quote:
At Westminster Magistrates' Court, Assange's barrister, Edward Fitzgerald, referred to a witness statement by former Republican U.S. Representative Dana Rohrabacher who visited Assange in 2017, saying he had been sent by the president to offer a pardon.


That line is all over the media.

If there is a written statement, it shouldn't be too hard to see if Dana R said that or not.

If this is what he is saying the probability of Trump having sent the H guy there has just increased... Trump is such a BS artist

Exactly.

And if there's not a written statement, do we rely on Rohrabacher's word, who said he "would then call on President Trump to pardon him", or on Assange's lawyer's word, who said "he had been sent by the president to offer a pardon"?

This would be huge in normal politics, but it’s just a Wednesday of Trump’s presidency.


When you think about it the story as presented has very little connection with Trump. Assange did what he did to get in trouble - nothing to do with T. Then the US went after him - still nothing to do with Trump. The extradition process was started under Obama. The H guy visited him a while ago but there is zero proof at this stage he was sent by Trump. So they ask Trump if he sent the H guy and he says no. This is the only direct, confirmed role he has played in the story - making a statement to deny any involvement. Most of it is just the media reporting on a desperate legal defence manoeuver made by a desperate guy in a desperate situation.

From the current debate:

"I'd like to talk about who we're running against. A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse faced lesbians. And no I'm not talking about Donald Trump, I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg," Warren said.

haha - she is more right than wrong

These days I am impressed when progressives do not ask idiotic questions. I know, it is a low bar...


I'm wondering if the mountain of irony here about not asking idiotic questions is intentional or accidental.

Trump just named one of his pals who has no national security experience as the Director of National Security. The position was created after 9/11 to coordinate activities and intelligence between various organs of national security, and it was specifically mandated that the director have extensive national security experience. But he's only going to do it for a short time, maybe three months, and he will keep his current job as Ambassador to Germany, so how important can this job be? I guess Trump made it a temp job.

It's not very important at all. It's called being a figurehead.

So Bloomberg got mauled by a pack of chiwawas last night. If Mini Mike takes a hit in the polls the debate last night will only have one winner - Donald Trump. Looks more and more likely in November he will be facing his preferred contender so things are great for those practicing reason in the land of the free.

I am more and more thinking about the successsion in 2024 - GOP have to make sure Nikky Haley is ready for limelight in a few years.

I wonder why Bloomy didn’t deny the NDA’s. I mean, most NDA’s prohibit signers from admitting they signed, so no one could have proven otherwise, right? Did he just get caught off guard?

@Metoo, you know Trump said he was afraid Hilary would pick Bernie as a running mate in 2016, right? Pretty sure it’s not his preferred opponent.

This is completely irrelevant because this time round Trump is an incumbent, not candidate and and Bernie hopes to be president, not running mate

What I am saying is that, in the current situation, Trump would love to run against Bernie. We know it because he is actively propping Bernie by suggesting he is being fucked by the Dems establishment. Bernie was an ok emergency spare but by putting him behind the wheel I see a car driving off the cliff.

I imagine one reason Trump wants to have a crack at Bernie is that he will be able to unleash without offending the PC sensitivities of the electorate. Bullying women on stage is problematic and Pete is gay. In contrast, when Trump has a go at Bernie the perception will be of two old bucks locking horns - one entertaining, successful, relaxed and witty and the other even older, with no track record of achievements in real life, lightweight and ideologically possessed. Bernie will be fair game on stage in ways other candidates are not.
