Mueller: Wikileaks used dead DNC worker in bid to cover Russia ties

[mfcorey1]

The newly released report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections rejected the claims of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that he received leaked emails from a young employee at the Democratic National Committee, as Special Counsel Robert Mueller said Assange used the murder of DNC worker Seth Rich in an effort to cover up the fact that Russian Intelligence had hacked the DNC emails, and transferred them to WikiLeaks.

"As reports attributing the DNC and DCCC hacks to the Russian government emerged, WikiLeaks and Assange made several public statements apparently designed to obscure the source of the materials that WikiLeaks was releasing," the Mueller report stated, referring to Assange's claim that Rich was involved.

1. Hannity knew and he helped spread the lie to protect Russia.

Start a petition to tell FOX to fire Hannity for his role in attacking a dead man and his family iin order to protect Russia’s plot to steal our election.

3. Or he should have known

4. Another noble deed by WikiLeaks

[Mustellus]

5. oh gee.. does that give Assange and Hannity...

.. a motive to have Seth Rich killed? Like Putin? To cover up those 'lose ends'?

It would be so much fun to behave like they do. But I suppose we have to follow the laws if we want the rule of law restored.

14. I've thought that, too. Russia murdering a DNC staffer to divert blame

for the leaks.

6. There are no depths to which Republicans and their supporters will sink.

Lying, cheating, stealing data by hacking, illegally taking away voting rights, committing election fraud—anything and everything to win an election. And all approved by Trump supporters because their man wins. Meanwhile, many of them will go to church on Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and believe that they are living the teachings of their Christ, but on Monday they’ll praise Donald Trump for all the great things he is doing, like locking brown people in cages at the border (so much for Christ’s admonition to welcome the stranger), lying about everything he has ever done, setting an example for their children that it is the nasty tempered bullies who get ahead in life, and that crime is okay if you’re a rich person—all because he is appointing judges who want to take away the rights of everyone but white people (mostly white males because women are to be controlled by men) and turn the Constitution on its head by installing theocratic rule.

All of this evil is coming from the pulpit. The evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress (Dallas) preaches that the Christian doctrines of love, mercy, and forgiveness apply only to individuals not to government. So according to his interpretation of the Bible, it’s okay for the individuals running the government to disobey Christian principles because they are acting on behalf of the government rather than themselves. Thus it’s okay to separate children from parents and cause them enormous trauma because government seems to act independently without individuals being involved. But then he and other pastors will say we need Christians in government who follow Biblical law. That followers do not see the hypocrisy in pastors like this is astonishing!

And in 2020 the flocks of people who listen to such nonsense will vote for Trump again because he is destroying the US government and doing everything he can to make climate change worse and start wars in the Middle East because those actions will being on the end times and they will finally be raptured up to heaven.

These people cannot be reached with appeals to rational thinking. The 2020 election will not be a slam dunk.

11. Good essay. . . nt

[mercuryblues]

12. Hobby Lobby & Chik-filet

are great supporters of this.

You will also find that any republican Evangelical buy into this. That is why they are steadfast on Jews in Israel. Something about Israel have peace for several years before the rapture, or something. Where the Jews will be forced to accept Christ or perish.

7. yeah, Freaking

asshole that some were insisting ASSange was a "journalist".

[rainin]

8. Imagine this scenario:

Rich is murdered. Assange announces a "$20,000 reward for information" about the murder. Information is collected and then buried, National Enquirer style. Anyone who knows what happened to Seth is now silenced by a NDA and cash.

On July 14, 2016, Guccifer 2.0 sends WikiLeaks an encrypted 1GB file, “wk dnc link I .txt.gpg.”.
on July 22 he published 20,000 stolen DNC emails .

On August 9, WikiLeaks announced a $20,000 reward for “information leading to conviction for the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. That connects the dots and then some. Most small donors to WikiLeaks must be chagrined. . . . nt

9. Turns out Assange is an egoist after all. For him, the Rich family are 'collateral damage'. . . . nt

13. I hope the Rich family bankrupts those spreading this filth.
