WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange reportedly sent messages to a fake Sean Hannity Twitter account offering "news" on a Democratic senator investigating links between the Trump campaign and Russia.

“Have some good news about Warner,” he allegedly wrote to Dell Gilliam, a woman from Texas who set up a Twitter profile impersonating Mr Hannity after the Fox News host’s account was temporarily deactivated.

Mr Assange appeared to encourage Ms Gilliam, who named her new Twitter handle @SeanHannity__, to contact him over “other channels” to discuss Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

Your emotions are not DC politics


AMEN. I say this to myself everytime I'm on Twitter. Justice and fairness are not how this works. Power is how this works. Devin only goes down when the people who enable and empower him PERCEIVE his actions as a LIABILITY to them and their interests.

"Nunes is heading for prison soon and very soon."

There's a fair amount of wiggle room between saying that's Whistling Dixie and your hyperbolic re-interpretation of what I wrote.

Maybe Malaise is giving us a pep talk and isn't serious. I'm trying to be serious. This shit is serious. Nunes is subverting the process, subverting Congress' duties, making a sham of the committee he chairs, colluding directly with the White House to impede the investigation, he's been doing it for a year plus, and Ryan shows no sign of stopping him.

so, no, I don't believe he's head to prison "very soon". Do you? Do you really? What is the process by which he goes to prison "very soon"?

I mean, Nunes released the laughable memo about the Trump Russia investigation when he was supposed to be recused and nothing happened.

Yes...
At about 4 a.m. on Saturday morning, a couple hours after she started pretending to be Sean Hannity, Dell Gilliam says she got a direct message back from the head of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange. That’s when she said she “kind of panicked.”

“I felt bad. He really thought he was talking to Sean Hannity,” said Gilliam.

Julian Assange Offered Hannity Impersonator ‘News’ About Top Democrat
The head of Wikileaks told @SeanHannity__ to seek ‘other channels’ for information on Sen. Mark Warner of the Trump-Russia investigation. ‘@SeanHannity__’ was a woman in Texas.

Since he's the chairman he has some responsibility to control the members but that's different from criminal culpability unless he specifically approved of the leak.

In a statement, a spokesman for Mr. Nunes, Jack Langer, did not dispute that the committee had leaked the messages, but called the premise of this article “absurd.”

Investigate Limbaugh that pedofile while he’s at it. My dream is that Mueller considers it his DUTY to put the country back on track and silence these traitors and conspirators. Haul that saggy assed Murdoch and his kids in for questioning too. I’m talking about full out Joe McCarthism against the right. They are all cowards, so call them out. Show their yellow bellies. Bastards have ruined this country, subverted the rule of law,embarrassed us internationally. Just look at the state of affairs. Our government is in tatters and everyday it gets worse. Grifter Carson looks like he is high most of the time, Pruitt I can’t even get the words out about him, fricken Sessions is starting to look good by standing up to Trump. I want to see Ivanka and Jared perp walked out of their home in pjs. Forfeit all their properties and money and let them rot in prison. Let Princess Ivanka be a woman’s bitch in prison. And I won’t even start on Jr. and Eric. Tiffany and Barron are ok. Like I said, my dream.
