Assange Implies Murdered DNC Staffer Was WikiLeaks' Source (washingtonpost.com)

Okian Warrior quotes a report from Fox News: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange implied in an interview that a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer was the source of a trove of damaging emails the rogue website posted just days before the party's convention. Speaking to Dutch television program Nieuswsuur Tuesday after earlier announcing a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Seth Rich's killer, Assange said the July 10 murder of Rich in Northwest Washington was an example of the risk leakers undertake. The Washington Post provides some details of the murder in its report: "Rich was shot twice in the back as he walked to his townhouse about 4:20 a.m. Nothing was taken, but police have said attempted robbery is their leading theory for a motive, noting a spike in robberies in the neighborhood in the preceding weeks. WikiLeaks released the trove of emails later that month, on July 22. Rich, 27, had worked for the DNC for two years and helped develop a computer program to make it easier for people to find polling places on Election Day. After his death, the DNC's then-chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), attended a vigil for Rich in front of his home, and Hillary Clinton, before she was nominated in her run for president, evoked his name during a speech in which she advocated for limiting the availability of guns."

Poor Poor Julian

If the Republicans had picked anyone other than the complete basket case they now have to float as their candidate for POTUS, poor Julian might have been able to wreak his terrible revenge for his perceived martyrdom. As it is, nobody is even listening now.

They don't need evidence, they "feel" it's true, feelings are factual.

Re:Hillary! and guns?

[Stenchwarrior]

No one has said anything about taking away "muh gunns"...they just want to make it harder for people to get them who shouldn't have them.

“I know we are a smart enough nation to figure out how you protect responsible gun owners' rights and get guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them,” Mrs. Clinton replied.

Um, yes. Anyone with half a brain for starters.

What about that proves he wasn't set up with a fake FBI meeting? Maybe he went to the meeting location, no one was there, and he was going home and was ambushed?

Maybe it was aliens. HILLARY IS USING ALIENS FOR CONTRACT KILLINGS! IT'S HAPPENING!
