Assange: Wikileaks Will Publish 'Enough Evidence' To Indict Hillary Clinton (rt.com)
An anonymous reader writes from a report via RT: Julian Assange says Wikileaks will have "a very big year" as it will publish enough new information about Hillary Clinton to indict her. In an ITV interview about the Democratic presidential candidate, Assange said, "We have emails relating to Hillary Clinton which are pending publication." As it stands, about 32,000 emails from Clinton's private server have been leaked by Wikileaks. Assange has yet to comment on how many new emails will be released or when they will be published. While he thinks there will be enough to indict Clinton, he doesn't think it will happen under Attorney General Loretta Lynch. He does think "the FBI can push for concessions from the new Clinton government in exchange for its lack of indictment." Specifically, Assange revealed the leaked emails show that she overrode the Pentagon's reluctance to overthrow sovereign Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, and that "they predicted the post-war outcome would be what it is, which is ISIS taking over the country." Clinton's email controversy came to light in 2013 after a hacker named Guccifer breached her personal server.
They could release that Hillary is a serial killer with 50 people locked up in her basement, but if Obama is in office and pardons her, it's all for naught.
Supposedly the FBI is waiting for her to be President, or not be President, but as long as the current President has her back, any evidence against her can be signed away.
Trump can serve as "the cleaner" as a lot of crap needs to be flushed out of DC. As with any cleaning agent, Trump will then need to be flushed out in a rinse cycle. A single 4 year term should prove long enough.
It isn't so much as wanting interference of a foreign body, it is about wanting the corruption to come to light. If Hillary hasn't done anything wrong, then she shouldn't have anything to fear and hide. Would you be less bothered if this was occurring to Trump perhaps? Personally if it happens to Obama, Trump or any politician, who has been behaving less than morally and arguably in direct violation of the Constitution it would be good for the country. The sooner people see that criminals in highest levels of the political spectrum are held unaccountable the better. People need to understand a criminal in your party of preference is no better than a criminal in the party you oppose. Let them be held accountable as the criminals they have become.
The regular population doesn't want a crook, but how are the parties and high-value donors supposed to control a politician who isn't a crook?
The rank and file did not simply "not approve that", they explicitly voted against it. Assange and his representative controlled two seats of the council. His proposal got three votes for it (aka, only one other person), five opposed, and three obstained - it failed (this was the only of the 13 party meetings that Assange had actually bothered calling into). Yet somehow, not long after the vote, they ended up discovering that they were actually set up to preference with Australia First despite the vote. Assange blamed it on an "administrative error", and implied that it was the party's council's fault. The council fought and eventually got Assange to concede to allow an investigation into the issue of what happened. Only, they then subsequently discovered that he was only going to allow the investigation after the election and that he himself would personally run it. Eventually it emerged that Assange himself had ordered it. Four of the 11 council members resigned immediately. Four more council members joined in with a strong condemnation. There were mass waves of resignation from the party at lower levels. There was actually a statement posted on the Wikileaks party website apologizing for the subversion of democracy, encouraging people not to vote for them in NSW and to vote for Scott Ludlam instead.
This sort of stuff is really par for the course with the guy.
Monkeywrench Ex Machina.
Hillary Clinton was provided with methods to communicate securely. She refused to use them. Her decisions may not be illegal, but making them using classified information via a private email server?
Even worse. She choose to use the private server first. Looks to me like she intended to evade the Public Records act and Freedom of Information Act requests from the very beginning. That's evidence of crime BTW.
You are a melodramatic fantasist.
The problem is, everything IS as dire as you portray - but it's not a Manichean fairytale of "high level conspirators against 'Western Civilization"."
This IS the natural fruit of your so-called "civilization". A cursory understanding of history of the "Western" world - from Phoenicia and Greece through Rome, all the Renaissance and "enlightenment" to today - all of it is hardly different from what is portrayed on "Game of Thrones". I can say that without hyperbole.
The idea of "Western Civilization" is just another chauvinism - another mythology by which you are crudely manipulated as a tool of those same forces you imagine to be in "betrayal".
No man in earth understands ANYTHING, until he has insightful awareness that EVERYTHING he knows is WRONG.
Then his eyes may see clearly. He has no solution, but surely understands the nature of things.
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
I'm a one-issue voter, and that issue is not opening the seventh seal and ushering in the apocalypse.
The funny thing is that I'm also a one-issue voter, but in my case it IS ushering in the apocalypse.
Let's face it; our grand experiment with representative democracy is done. It failed. Let's just burn it to the ground, salt the ashes, and hope the cockroaches do better than we did.
Go on, citizen, stamp the vote card. R or D, your choice.
Mr. Putin prefers Trump to be the next president, as it may fragment NATO and other US alliances. This is his ultimate and most desirable goal, it will make him strongest bully in his yard.
He certainly has plenty of influence in the circles of people like Assange and can subtly manipulate them pushing to the right direction without them having a clue that they are manipulated and used.
"they predicted the post-war outcome would be what it is, which is ISIS taking over the country."
Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know, ISIS didn't really exist before 2003 - so how would the Pentagon have been worried about them pre-2011?
Not only that, but ISIS is not taking over Libya. It currently only holds a small and shrinking portion of Sirte. Incidentally, the same place that Ghadaffi built his power base and made his last stand.
The essential ingredient that makes it possible for the population to resist ISIS in Libya but not in Syria is the absence of a strongman willing to employ ISIS to save his own skin.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Jill Stien, Presidential Candidate for the Green party said "Trump says terrible things, but Clinton does terrible things." I tend to agree Trump is an unknown and we have no idea how much is bullshit and what he intend to try and accomplish; we know Clinton's record. I'm pretty sure this is going to be the election where a third party candidate is who I'll be voting for.
More than likely voting for either Trump or Clinton will really be vote for who is running for Vice-President.
Apocalypse Cancelled, Sorry, No Ticket Refunds
One of the biggest facts that right-wingers AVOID is that the State Department server was NO MORE SECURE than a commercial/private server, and in fact the State Dept. server was (eventually) hacked.
One could argue that such messages should have been sent over the separate secure system (not email), but that's a DIFFERENT ISSUE than whether the "regular" office email system was more secure or not than her personal server.
They were BOTH Chevy's, not Lexuses.
Table-ized A.I.
O pulled the same shit as the GOP does. Basically, he declared that it was not a treaty and set it up to by pass them. The exact same way that the GOP keeps one of their lackies sitting in 'CONgress', to keep it in session.
Personally, I think that both major parties are a bunch of losers, but esp the GOP for starting this BS.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
