    This story should concern every American who is truly patriotic.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/15/...clusive-documents/index.html?no-st=1563260181

    This tells of an Australian, who is now indicted for previous crimes, working with the Russians to release hacked (I.e. illegally obtained) materials to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

    Anyone who thinks that the release of those materials did not affect the outcome of the election is being wilfully blind.

    Trump won’t criticise this interference because he benefited from it, and he thinks that acknowledging it would call into question the legitimacy of his election and presidency.

    His thin skin and ego is putting the integrity of future elections at risk. And his lemmings will support his anti-American position all the way.

    Interesting read... I had no idea Assange had that much power and control over his situation while hiding in that embassy. You are correct, it does concern me...

    As the article states, a lot of the Assange sections in the Mueller Report are redacted. Will be interesting to eventually discover how much of this article Mueller knew about.

    The Ecuadorian ambassador had to be complicit which means the Ecuadorian government may also have been involved. Why isn't the news going after Ecuador? It's just about Assange, the Russians and Trump. It also does not speak well of the UK.

    I agree... the article does mention the Ecuador governments probably involvement.... that doesn't sound good either. I'm not sure what the UK can do about behavior within the walls of another country's embassy though...

    The UK knew Assange was living there and could have at least monitored the comings and goings of personnel before they entered the Ecuador embassy.

    Julluan was visited by “two well known GERMAN hackers” working for the Russians. Well that doesn’t pass the smell test. And now it looks like Ellen Ratner May have visited him as well.

    Mueller has been chastised by a judge for his public statements for connecting the troll farm IRA to the Russian Government without any proof. Mueller accepted what the DNC lawyers gave him about Russia hacking the DNC computers without the FBI ever doing any forensic research.

    There are other egregious flaws in Mueller's 'dossier'.

    This story is pure propaganda, a desperate attempt to continue the lie told in Mueller's indictment. Russiagate was a beautifully done hoax on the American people.

    The mueller indictment of the Russians includes things they couldn’t possibly have gotten from crowdstrike. Why hasn’t Barr stopped those indictments? Why’d he allow mueller to put out a report that blames Russia? Why’s every one in the trump admin blaming Russia?

    As Barr said, he will accept what the Mueller report says and make it public. It now stands up for scrutiny.

    He’s accepting lies about a foreign government without any rebuttal? He’s allowing fraudulent indictments to stand?
    So what’s trumps cias excuse? Fbi? State dept? NSA? Russian ambassador? United Nations?

    Well, Barr is investigating that as we speak so wait your turn.

    Is there anyone in this admin who doesn’t say it was Russia? Why do you think that is? Why didn’t anyone come out an question mueller findings on Russia? They have had no problem attacking his findings on obstruction.

    You mean the indictment for the company that did not exist or the fact that Mueller knew from the beginning there was no conspiracy?

    Has Barr pulled the indictment? Why not? Why’s he allowing mueller to falsely accuse Russia?

    Well, I rest my case. Silly logical fallacies to back up defense of what went on in Obama's WH.

    That would be a very good question for the FBI to ask the UK.

    Wow the trump admin had been duped by the media into blaming Russia? They never bothered to look at the Intel before making these claims?
    Your theory is incredibly damning of the trump admin.

    Yet there are useful idiots that still believe Trump conspired with Russia to get him elected. So it goes.
