The Senate on Monday night approved a $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief bill and sent it to President Trump for his signature. The legislation — which follows the passage in the House — authorizes $600 stimulus checks for people who earn less than $75,000 per year and an extra $600 payment per child. A $600 check will not pay one month’s rent, no less food for a family they put out of employment.

If this were a very serious pandemic and not political, then you would see politicians doing as they are commanding. Instead, they are gathering with their families in secret. Dr. Deborah Birx traveled with family for Thanksgiving and did not stay home after canceling all the holidays for others. She met with her family at one of her vacation properties on Fenwick Island in Delaware, the Associated Press reported. Governor Cuomo of New York invited his mother for Thanksgiving but had to cancel ONLY after being caught. This is the man who said you can eat outside in a restaurant but you cannot go inside to use the bathroom, and then had to reverse that one.

Then there was the guy who started the whole lockdown who took grants from Bill Gates and his model was anything but accurate — Neil Ferguson.

This Pandemic is grossly exaggerated and the average age of death of COVID-19 patients is 81. As I have written, the 1969 Hong Kong flu killed 4 million people worldwide. Still, the CDC did not call that a serious epidemic despite the fact that it was 4x greater than COVID-19.

Today, the World Health Organization is blaming global warming because of CO2. In 1969, they were blaming pollution and sulfur dioxide. Let’s be straight. Viruses have been causing plagues throughout history long before fossil fuels. Nothing these people ever say holds up over time.

This pandemic is being used to scare people, keep them home, end commuting (fossil fuel consumption), and destroy businesses all for a Green Agenda. They do not follow their own commands because they know this is all political.

President Trump has pardoned Roger Stone and Paul Manafort along with 24 other persons in a wave of clemency orders on Wednesday.

♦ Paul Manafort—Today, President Trump has issued a full and complete pardon to Paul Manafort, stemming from convictions prosecuted in the course of Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation, which was premised on the Russian collusion hoax. Mr. Manafort has already spent two years in prison, including a stretch of time in solitary confinement – treatment worse than what many of the most violent criminals receive.

As a result of blatant prosecutorial overreach, Mr. Manafort has endured years of unfair treatment and is one of the most prominent victims of what has been revealed to be perhaps the greatest witch hunt in American history. As Mr. Manafort’s trial judge observed, prior to the Special Counsel investigation, Mr. Manafort had led an “otherwise blameless life.” Since May, Mr. Manafort has been released to home confinement as a result of COVID-19 concerns.

♦ Roger Stone— Today, President Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon to Roger Stone, Jr. President Trump had previously commuted Mr. Stone’s sentence in July of this year. Mr. Stone is a 68-year-old man with numerous medical conditions.

Due to prosecutorial misconduct by Special Counsel Mueller’s team, Mr. Stone was treated very unfairly. He was subjected to a pre-dawn raid of his home, which the media conveniently captured on camera. Mr. Stone also faced potential political bias at his jury trial. Pardoning him will help to right the injustices he faced at the hands of the Mueller investigation.

They tell you to wear a face mask inside your own home…yet California Gov. Newsom dines maskless at expensive restaurants .

They fine and arrest you if you refuse to close your hair salon…Yet Pelosi gets her hair done in a closed salon without wearing a face mask.

They tell you not to travel and stay home…yet the Mayor of Austin can travel to sunny Mexico for a vacation.

And now Dr. Deborah Birx , member of the Covid-19 task force,  who scolds us not to gather with our families during the holidays, has a three generation Brix family gathering with no face masks or social distancing.

The hypocrisy is scarf deep.

Our so called “elites” and medical “experts” tell us Covid-19 is deadly and we must shut down our country’s economic engine, lockdown every business, (except those the elites choose and pick as essential, ie strip clubs, liquor stores, Walmart,,,,but not churches.)

Yet our so called “elites” act like covid isn’t deadly at all. If it was, would they be caught dead with out a face mask or would they even step foot out of their safety sealed homes?  Weird disconnect isn’t it?

The virus is a powerful control tool used over a fearful populace.

The face mask is a form of submission as Rand Paul recently said.

Look at the recent spate of “elites” and celebrities getting the vaccine live on the news. Ask yourself why? If Covid was so deadly wouldn’t people be rushing to get in line for the vaccine? Wouldn’t there be long lines outside the hospitals, people eager to get a jab?

That’s not happening. So the medical “establishment” has to stage these PR stunts with people getting their vaccine live on air. “Look, I got the vaccine, it’s great and I am fine. You should too,” they say.

Except we don’t know what’s in that needle, saline? A placebo? Why did the nurse drop to her knees live on TV after her shot? Why are doctors now refusing to take the vaccine or give it to their patients?

These are the questions we have to ask. Why would you trust these people after they have lied to us for decades? Look at the new covid stimulus package just passed by congress. Look at what’s in it, so much pork and graft (gender studies for Pakistan, tax cuts for race horse owners, millions for the “arts.”)

Why would you trust the government to rush out a vaccine and inject who knows what into your body?

Watch what they do…not what they say.

Our left wing “elites” tell/force us to give up our freedom and rights to avoid a catastrophe and then go about with their activities like usual. They must get a good laugh at all the frightened little sheep running around in their useless paper face masks.

The CDC told us the survival rate for covid-19 is 99.6%.

The elite authoritarians want us to abide by their fascist rules. While they ignore their own rules.

Fell like you have been duped?  You have.

Time to fight back, do not embrace your own slavery.

Armstrong Economics Blog/Population Re-Posted Dec 23, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The Supreme Court dismissed a premature challenge to President Donald Trump’s plan to exclude people living in the country illegally from the population count used to allot state seats in the House of Representatives. The Democrats want even illegal aliens to be counted, despite the fact that they legally cannot vote.

Here is the government data on the population. Note the dramatic rise in 2000 because of the census that did not differentiate between citizens and aliens. It is this problem of misusing the data from the census and then allocating seats in Congress to “represent” people who cannot even vote.

Then if you look at the two most consensus cities in this election, they have been bleeding citizens and are filled with illegal aliens. Both Detroit and Philadelphia lost citizens between 1990 and 2000 because of high taxes and crime. Those have been the two most corrupt cities in the United States. Domenick J. DeMuro, 73, of Philadelphia, PA, who was a former Judge of Elections in Philadelphia pled guilty to a two-count information charging conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections. When you have judges committing voting fraud, Philadelphia is not a city you can trust. Judges in Philadelphia were taking bribes from a private prison to sentence juveniles to prison for any crime. That was called the Kids-For-Cash scandal.

And people want to claim that the votes in Philadelphia are void of any fraud? Really? They never lived close to Philadelphia.

President Trump on Tuesday night called for Congress to take back the massive $2.3 trillion stimulus calling it a “disgrace” for it was handing money out to foreign governments and illegal aliens who all got more money than American citizens. Congress gave Americans $600 which is not enough to pay the rent for one month. He has told Congress to increase it to $2,000. Trump went on to list the millions of dollars included in the 5,593-page package He pointed out that billions are handed over to the National Mall museums that they will not allow to even be open.

This is the SWAMP in Washington. They call something the COVID relief package and they stuff it with more programs for everything else that has nothing to do with the name of the Bill. This is Washington corruption at its best. This illustrates why we really need a Democracy and not a Republic and term limits are essential in a Republic – one term and out!

It should be illegal to add any spending to any bill that is not on the same subject matter.

The polls in Congress show the overwhelming rejection of Pelosi to remain as speaker of the House. Her approval rating among politicians is 31% at best. Even the left-wing Politico is reporting what has been the talk behind the curtain.  I have warned that the Democrats are ripe to split. The Conservative Democrats, who are more middle of the road, are very anti-AOC and very anti-Pelosi. Comments I have been hearing all along since she tore up the State of the Union speech of Trump before the world, which is Constitutionally required, was a shocking disgrace even to Conservative Democrats.

Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) demands that Biden keep the promises to the “Squad” are stirring up a lot of resentment in the Democratic camp. Then you have the women so suddenly see that they too have been played for fools. The criticism I hear is that they do not represent the people even in their own districts. They only represent their own political agenda and ethnic groups.

Lindsey Boylan‘s harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo have vanished into thin air. Suddenly the #MeToo movement has discovered it too only got traction when it was against Repunblicsm or corporate officers. Going after Democratic leaders is just ignored. Then we have the police suing the Black Lives Matter movement for their violence against police and that they are not being held accountable.

Biden may find it a lot more difficult to deliver on Schwab’s Agenda 2030 than he thinks. The Conservative Democrats may not simply go along with this agenda blindly, despite the fact that BigTech is now desperately censoring any explanation of the Great Reset.

Georgia State Senator William Ligon published this report after there has been serious question into the fundraising behind Dominion Voting that nobody wants to disclose.

“The Chairman’s Report of the Election Law Study Subcommittee of the Standing Senate Judiciary Committee”

George Report on Election

It states:

“The November 3, 2020 General Election (the “Election”) was chaotic and any reported results must be viewed as untrustworthy. (…) The Subcommittee learned that the history and control of the company that owns the Dominion voting system is unclear and provides serious implications of foreign interference in the U.S. election.”

“(…) The Subcommittee did not have time to investigate the numerous publicly reported issues with the Dominion voting machines. The Subcommittee takes notice of the various publicly reported functions of the machines and heard evidence that the machines can duplicate fraudulent ballots to the point that not even trained personnel can tell the difference between a test ballot and a real ballot. Testimony also suggested that the system responds wirelessly to being reset from an unknown location as happened with the poll books. The Subcommittee also heard that Dominion machines can be programmed with algorithms that reallocate votes between candidates. In addition, the Dominion machines are programmed to count votes using percentages of whole numbers rather than actual votes, which is a feature incompatible with the actual voting process. The Subcommittee learned that the history and control of the company that owns the Dominion voting system is unclear and provides serious implications of foreign interference in the U.S. election.

President Trump issued full pardons to 15 individuals and commuted part or all of the sentences of an additional five people, the White House announced Tuesday.

Included in the list are Duncan Hunter, a former GOP congressman from California, Chris Collins, a former GOP representative from New York and former Trump campaign advisor George Papadapoulous who was targeted by Robert Mueller as part of building the Russian conspiracy theory.

[Read White House Statement Here]

In May 2016 George Papadopoulos was contacted by two members of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),Terrence Dudley and Greg Baker, working out of the U.S. embassy in London.

Two American spies working in London put Papadopoulos in contact with their ally/counterpart in the Australian Embassy, Erika Thompson. [ie. ‘unofficial channels’] After meeting with Downer’s aide, Erika Thompson on May 6th, she sets up a meeting between George Papadopoulos and her boss for May 10th.

On May 10th, 2016, Ms Erika Thompson and Mr. Alexander Downer then meet with George Papadopoulos.  After the meeting, Ambassador Downer reports back to the Australian government on his conversation with Papadopoulos. [document release]. It is from this May 10th, 2016, meeting where communication from Downer, July 26th, 2016, is referenced as the origin of Crossfire Hurricane July 31st.

On August 2, 2016, Special Agent Peter Strzok and another agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation met with Alexander Downer in London to discuss his conversation with Papadopoulos further. Strzok then received reading materials, which he texted about to Lisa Page.

A month later, September 2016, the FBI used a longtime informant, Stefan Halper, to make contact with George Papadopoulos, pay him $3k and fly him to London for consulting work and a policy paper on Mediterranean energy issues.  As part of the spy operation the FBI sent a female intelligence operative (a spy) under the alias Azra Turk to pose as Halper’s assistant and engage Papdopoulos.

A month later, October 21, 2016, the FBI used Papadopoulos as a supplemental basis for a FISA warrant against Carter Page.

(Page FISA Application)

A few weeks after the FBI received the FISA warrant against Carter Page, they ran another operation against George Papadopoulos using a friend as an asset; a wired asset.

The FBI labeled Papadopoulos as “crossfire typhoon”, and ran a confidential human source (CHS #3) recently identified as Jeffrey Wiseman.

Former Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Trey Gowdy, told Maria Bartiromo in May 2019 that he had seen the transcripts of the FBI’s Jeffrey Wiseman operation and those transcripts exonerate Papadopoulos.  WATCH:https://www.youtube.com/embed/1PohFoeETF4

.

[Transcript Video 01:10] Bartiromo: I’m really glad you brought that up; the FBI agents’ discussion with George Papadopoulos. Because when the FBI sends in informants to someone they’re looking at, typically those conversations are recorded right? Those people are wired?

Gowdy: Yeah, I mean if the bureau is going to send an informant in, the informant is going to be wired; and if the bureau is monitoring telephone calls there’s going to be a transcript of that.

And some of us have been fortunate enough to know whether or not those transcripts exist; but they haven’t been made public and I think one in-particular is going – it has the potential to actually persuade people.  Very little in this Russia probe I’m afraid is going to persuade people who hate Trump, or who love Trump, but there is some information in these transcripts that I think has the potential to be a game-changer if it’s ever made public.

Bartiromo: You say that’s exculpatory evidence and when people see that they’re going to say: wait, why wasn’t this presented to the court earlier?

Gowdy: Yeah, you know, Johnny Ratcliffe is rightfully exercised over the obligations that the government has to tell the whole truth to the court when you are seeking permission to spy, or do surveillance, on an American.  And part of that includes the responsibility of providing exculpatory information, or information that tends to show the person did not do something wrong.  If you have exculpatory information, and you don’t share it with the court, that ain’t good.  I’ve seen it, Johnny’s seen it, I’d love for your viewers to see it.

Today the transcript of the Wiseman operation was released.  This is the transcript where Papadopoulos’s friend Jeffrey Wiseman is wired by the FBI for a meeting in Chicago.

.

Papadopoulos told Wiseman that he knew “for a fact” that nobody on the Trump campaign was involved in hacking the DNC.

The IG report said the FBI tapped Wiseman, referred to as “Source 3” in the report, due to a previous “connection” with Papadopoulos. The report said Wiseman indicated years earlier during an interview for a separate investigation he would be willing to work with the FBI.

After lunch, Wiseman and Papadopoulos traveled to a casino, where they played blackjack. According to the transcript, in addition to discussing Russia and the Trump campaign, Papadopoulos said he had worked for Israeli businesses, “to lobby for them in Washington.”  This conversation appears to be taking place in late October or early November 2016, prior to the election.

Despite all of the surveillance operations against Papadopoulos, the target was not interviewed by the FBI until January 2017. None of the exculpatory information was included in the January FISA renewal or the two subsequent renewals.

It’s likely the FBI will justify not including the exculpatory evidence based on the fact that Carter Page and not Papadopoulos was the primary target of the FISA application.

According to reports in November of 2019, U.S Attorney John Durham and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr were spending time on a narrowed focus looking carefully at CIA activity in the 2016 presidential election. One quote from a media-voice increasingly sympathetic to a political deep-state noted:

“One British official with knowledge of Barr’s wish list presented to London commented that “it is like nothing we have come across before, they are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services””. (Link)

It is interesting that quote came from a British intelligence official, as there appears to be  evidence of an extensive FBI/CIA operation that likely involved U.K. intelligence services. In addition, and as a direct outcome, there is an aspect to the FBI/CIA operation that overlaps with both a U.S. and U.K. need to keep Wikileaks founder Julian Assange under tight control. In this outline we will explain where corrupt U.S. and U.K. interests merge.

To understand the risk that Julian Assange represented to FBI/CIA interests, it is important to understand just how extensive the operations of the FBI/CIA were in 2016. It is within this network of foreign and domestic operations where FBI Agent Peter Strzok is clearly working as a bridge between the CIA and FBI operations.

By now people are familiar with the construct of CIA operations involving Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese professor generally identified as a western intelligence operative who was tasked by the FBI/CIA to run an operation against Trump campaign official George Papadopoulos in both Italy (Rome) and London. {Go Deep}

In a similar fashion the FBI tasked U.S. intelligence asset Stefan Halper to target another Trump campaign official, Carter Page. Under the auspices of being a Cambridge Professor Stefan Halper also targeted General Michael Flynn. Additionally, using assistance from a female FBI agent under the false name Azra Turk, Halper also targeted Papadopoulos.

The initial operations to target Flynn, Papadopoulos and Page were all based overseas. This seemingly makes the CIA exploitation of the assets and the targets much easier.

One of the more interesting aspects to the unfinished Durham probe is the possibility of a paper-trail created as a result of the tasking operations. We should watch closely for evidence of a paper trail.

HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes has outlined how very specific exculpatory evidence was known to the FBI and yet withheld from the FISA application used against Carter Page that also mentions George Papadopoulos.  The FBI also fabricated information in the FISA.

However, there is an aspect to the domestic U.S. operation that also bears the fingerprints of the international intelligence apparatus; only this time due to the restrictive laws on targets inside the U.S. the CIA aspect is less prominent. This is where FBI Agent Peter Strzok working for both agencies was important.

Remember, it’s clear in the text messages Strzok had a working relationship with what he called their “sister agency”, the CIA. Additionally, Brennan has admitted Strzok helped write the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) which outlines the Russia narrative; and it is almost guaranteed the July 31st, 2016, “Electronic Communication” from the CIA to the FBI that originated FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane” was authored by Strzok…. and Strzok immediately used that EC to travel to London to debrief intelligence officials around Australian Ambassador to the U.K. Alexander Downer.

In short, Peter Strzok appeared to be the very eager, profoundly overzealous James Bond wannabe, who acted as a bridge between the CIA and the FBI. The perfect type of FBI career agent for CIA Director John Brennan to utilize.

Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson hired CIA Open Source analyst Nellie Ohr toward the end of 2015; at appropriately the same time as “FBI Contractors” were identified exploiting the NSA database and extracting information on a specific set of U.S. persons.

It was also Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson who was domestically tasked with a Russian lobbyist named Natalia Veselnitskaya. A little reported Russian Deputy Attorney General named Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was working double-agents for the CIA and Kremlin. Karapetyan was directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Glenn Simpson was organizing her inside the U.S.

Glenn Simpson managed Veselnitskaya through the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. However, once the CIA/Fusion-GPS operation using Veselnitskaya started to unravel with public reporting… back in Russia Deputy AG Karapetyan died in a helicopter crash.

Simultaneously timed in late 2015 through mid 2016, there was a domestic FBI operation using a young Russian named Maria Butina tasked to run up against republican presidential candidates. According to Patrick Byrne, Butina’s handler, it was FBI agent Peter Strzok who was giving Byrne the instructions on where to send her. {Go Deep}

All of this context outlines the extent to which the FBI/CIA was openly involved in constructing a political operation that settled upon anyone in candidate Donald Trump’s orbit.

International operations directed by the FBI/CIA, and domestic operations seemingly directed by Peter Strzok operating with a foot in both agencies. [Strzok gets CIA service coin]

Recap: ♦Mifsud tasked against Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Halper tasked against Flynn (CIA), Page (CIA), and Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Azra Turk, pretending to be Halper asst, tasked against Papadopoulos (FBI). ♦Veselnitskaya tasked against Donald Trump Jr (CIA, Fusion-GPS). ♦Butina tasked against Trump, and Donald Trump Jr (FBI).

Additionally, Christopher Steele was a British intelligence officer, hired by Fusion-GPS to assemble and launder fraudulent intelligence information within his dossier. And we cannot forget Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch, who was recruited by Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe to participate in running an operation against the Trump campaign and create the impression of Russian involvement. Deripaska refused to participate.

All of this engagement directly controlled by U.S. intelligence; and all of this intended to give a specific Russia impression. This predicate is presumably what John Durham is currently reviewing.

The key point of all that background is to see how committed the CIA and FBI were to the constructed narrative of Russia interfering with the 2016 election. The CIA, FBI, and by extension the DOJ, put a hell of a lot of work into it. Intelligence community work that Durham is now unraveling.

We also know specifically that John Durham is looking at the construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA); and talking to CIA analysts who participated in the construct of the January 2017 report that bolstered the false appearance of Russian interference in the 2016 election. This is important because it ties in to the next part that involves Julian Assange and Wikileaks.

On April 11th, 2019, the Julian Assange indictment was unsealed in the EDVA. From the indictment we discover it was under seal since March 6th, 2018:

(Link to pdf)

On Tuesday April 15th more investigative material was released. Again, note the dates: Grand Jury, *December of 2017* This means FBI investigation prior to….

The FBI investigation took place prior to December 2017, it was coordinated through the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) where Dana Boente was U.S. Attorney at the time. The grand jury indictment was sealed from March of 2018 until after Mueller completed his investigation, April 2019.

Why the delay?

What was the DOJ waiting for?

Here’s where it gets interesting….

The FBI submission to the Grand Jury in December of 2017 was four months after congressman Dana Rohrabacher talked to Julian Assange in August of 2017: “Assange told a U.S. congressman … he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents … did not come from Russia.”

(August 2017, The Hill Via John Solomon) Julian Assange told a U.S. congressman on Tuesday he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents he published during last year’s election did not come from Russia and promised additional helpful information about the leaks in the near future.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who is friendly to Russia and chairs an important House subcommittee on Eurasia policy, became the first American congressman to meet with Assange during a three-hour private gathering at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where the WikiLeaks founder has been holed up for years.

Rohrabacher recounted his conversation with Assange to The Hill.

“Our three-hour meeting covered a wide array of issues, including the WikiLeaks exposure of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] emails during last year’s presidential election,” Rohrabacher said, “Julian emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure of those emails.”

Pressed for more detail on the source of the documents, Rohrabacher said he had information to share privately with President Trump. (read more)

Knowing how much effort the CIA and FBI put into the Russia collusion-conspiracy narrative, it would make sense for the FBI to take keen interest after this August 2017 meeting between Rohrabacher and Assange; and why the FBI would quickly gather specific evidence (related to Wikileaks and Bradley Manning) for a grand jury by December 2017.

Within three months of the grand jury the DOJ generated an indictment and sealed it in March 2018. The EDVA sat on the indictment while the Mueller probe was ongoing.

As soon as the Mueller probe ended, on April 11th, 2019, a planned and coordinated effort between the U.K. and U.S. was executed; Julian Assange was forcibly arrested and removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and the EDVA indictment was unsealed (link).

As a person who has researched this three year fiasco; including the ridiculously false 2016 Russian hacking/interference narrative: “17 intelligence agencies”, Joint Analysis Report (JAR) needed for Obama’s anti-Russia narrative in December ’16; and then a month later the ridiculously political Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) in January ’17; this timing against Assange is too coincidental.

It doesn’t take a deep researcher to see the aligned Deep State motive to control Julian Assange because the Mueller report was dependent on Russia cybercrimes, and that narrative is contingent on the Russia DNC hack story which Julian Assange disputes.

This is critical. The Weissmann/Mueller report contains claims that Russia hacked the DNC servers as the central element to the Russia interference narrative in the U.S. election. This claim is directly disputed by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, as outlined during the Dana Rohrabacher interview, and by Julian Assange on-the-record statements.

The predicate for Robert Mueller’s investigation was specifically due to Russian interference in the 2016 election. The fulcrum for this Russia interference claim is the intelligence community assessment; and the only factual evidence claimed within the ICA is that Russia hacked the DNC servers; a claim only made possible by relying on forensic computer analysis from Crowdstrike, a DNC contractor.

The CIA holds a massive conflict of self-interest in upholding the Russian hacking claim. The FBI holds a massive interest in maintaining that claim. All of those foreign countries whose intelligence apparatus participated with Brennan and Strzok also have a vested self-interest in maintaining that Russia hacking and interference narrative.

Julian Assange is the only person with direct knowledge of how Wikileaks gained custody of the DNC emails; and Assange has claimed he has evidence it was not from a hack.

This Russian “hacking” claim was ultimately so important to the CIA, FBI, DOJ, ODNI and U.K intelligence apparatus…. Well, right there is the obvious motive to shut Assange down as soon as intelligence officials knew the Mueller report was going to be public.

This is why Julian Assange deserves a pardon, so he can tell his story.
