    Default Current Wikileaks and Assange News & Releases

    Ouch: Wikileaks drops 200+ emails proving widespread NBC collusion with Hillary after NBC news defends bogus NY Times Trump-Russia story

    True Pundit
    Tue, 02 Jan 2018 00:01 UTC



    The folks at NBC News on Tuesday tried to prop up a failing and flailing
    New York Times story - one of many - on the Trump Russia saga which has largely been fabricated by the mainstream media as little more than red meat for their ignorant readers.

    Then Julian Assange decided to intervene.

    His disdain for the mainstream media may be unrivaled even by the millions of Americans who do not trust a single word it prints.

    " And boy are they hateful and narrow minded in their views... Their fixed mindset boils my blood. Even when presented evidence, they turn a blind eye"

    I think aou and I/many of us are in the same boat regardless of topic; one can present the brain-washed masses with 50k cross-corroborated facts to prove a certain point (it's like FACTS!) and if they refuse to believe it at the very best one is told "that's only your opinion" <sigh)

    stay well starlight and all readers-

    Ecuador FM: Assange still has Ecuador's protection, but his health is deteriorating

    Andes
    Fri, 05 Jan 2018 13:27 UTC



    Assange’s health is deteriorated after five years and a half, said foreign minister Maria Fernanda Espinosa.

    Ecuador's foreign minister Maria Fernanda Espinosa affirmed Wednesday that Julian Assange's health is deteriorated after five years and half of being holed up in the Andean country's embassy in London.

    "His health is really deteriorated which is what occurs to a person who has been holed up for five years and a half in a place the size of an office which is not appropriate to have a normal life," said Espinosa without further detail.

    Talking to media, the Ecuadorian official added that the 46-year-old Australian journalist is living in a very difficult and concerning situation and ratified that his government will continue to offer him protection.

    Assange asked Ecuador for asylum in 2012 and in spite of the country's diplomatic efforts, the case has not been solved.

    Ecuador has asked London for a safe conduct in order for Assange to be able to travel to the Andean country which has not been positively accepted.

    President Lenin Moreno, who took office in May 2017, has ratified that his government will continue to offer him protection but has asked him not to make remarks about other countries' internal affairs.

    WikiLeaks reports Podesta was briefed on "gross negligence" BEFORE the FBI removed it - let Killary off the hook

    Tyler Durden Zero Hedge
    Mon, 08 Jan 2018 16:07 UTC


    Hillary Cling and campaign manager John Podesta © Justin Sullivan, Drew Angerer / Getty Images

    Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, John Podesta, received an email from an advisor which brought up the phrase "gross negligence" in regards to the FBI's email investigation before the FBI agent in charge of the probe removed the phrase from her exoneration statement, according to WikiLeaks.


    Podesta Emails #45924 (WikiLeaks) © Wikileaks

    In a March 2016 email from former Bill Clinton Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy to Clinton campaign chairman Podesta's Gmail account, Flournoy included links to two articles concerning the FBI email investigation; one from the Washington Post which minimized Clinton's actions, and a legal analysis from retired D.C. attorney Paul Mirengoff in which he suggests Clinton was "grossly negligent or worse" and may be in serious hot water. (h/t Mike)


    Paul Mirengoff © powerlineblog.com

    From Mirengoff in Powerline Blog:
    First, let's again examine the statutory language:
    "Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document. . .relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer, Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."
    The only other question I perceive that stands in the way of Clinton having violated Section 793(f) is whether it was through gross negligence that she permitted the information relating to the national defense to to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to someone who shouldn't have gotten it.

    It was not ordinary negligence that caused Clinton to permit highly sensitive information to be removed from its proper place and onto Clinton's private email servers. This strikes me as gross negligence at a minimum. Clinton herself had warned others about the prospect of private email accounts being hacked.

    Nor was it ordinary negligence to deliver highly sensitive information to someone lacking a security clearance (in this case, an inveterate gossip). Such imprudence, again, seems grossly negligent or worse. -Powerline Blog
    While Mirengoff's assessment was that Hillary Clinton engaged in grossly negligent behavior, Tina Flournoy did not agree - citing the Washington Post article minimizing Clinton's actions:
    "The argument here would be that Clinton engaged in such "gross negligence" by transferring information she knew or should have known was classified from its "proper place" onto her private server, or by sharing it with someone not authorized to receive it. Yet, as the Supreme Court has said, "gross negligence" is a "nebulous" term. Especially in the criminal context, it would seem to require conduct more like throwing classified materials into a Dumpster than putting them on a private server that presumably had security protections." -Tina Flournoy to John Podesta (WikiLeaks)
    Perhaps Podesta decided to run this past Hillary Clinton's friends at the FBI, as counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok - who headed up the Clinton email investigation - then removed the phrase "gross negligence" from Clinton's exoneration statement.

    To summarize, former Bill Clinton Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy sent John Podesta an email to his Gmail account on March 9, 2016 - with a Washington Post article containing a link to an opinion by a retired D.C. attorney who thinks Clinton committed Gross Negligence. Former FBI Director James Comey's original draft from May 2, contained the phrase, and at some point over the next eight weeks, Peter Strzok - the man who headed up the investigation, removed it - materially changing the legal significance of Clinton's actions, effectively "decriminalizing" her behavior when Comey gave his speech on July 5, 2016.

    Quote
    Mike‏ @Fuctupmind Jan 6

    Tina Flournoy, former chief of staff to Bill Clinton, wrote an extensive email explaining the term "gross negligence" to John Podesta on 03/09/2016 James Comey gave his speech about Hillary Clinton being "EXTREMELY CARELESS" on 07/05/2016, 3 months later https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/45924 …

    Julian Assange granted Ecuadorian passport – reports

    © Julian Assange / Twitter

    WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has cryptically uploaded a picture of himself dressed in the national colors of Ecuador. The country’s media reports the whistleblower has been granted an Ecuadorian ID.

    Assange’s ID was issued on December 21, Ecuadorian outlet El Universo reports, citing “reliable sources” and providing the civil registry number to check on the government website. The document number 1729926483, upon checking on the Internal Revenue Service, is indeed registered to one Julian Paul Assange.

    Meanwhile, Assange uploaded a photo of himself on Twitter wearing a yellow, blue and red shirt, the colors of the Ecuadorian flag. The post was his first activity on the platform since his strange message on New Year’s Day, which featured a 60 character code and a link to the popular song ‘Paper Planes’ by British rapper MIA. The tweet sparked widespread speculation over what, if anything, the seemingly random string of letters and numbers meant.

    RT is trying to verify whether the document in question is indeed related to Julian Assange and to determine the status of his alleged Ecuadorian citizenship.

    Earlier in the day, the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry issued a statement reiterating it is seeking a solution to the problem with the British government, but did not mention anything about an official ID number, passport, or any changes to Assange’s asylum status.

    Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012, when he was accused of sexual assault in Sweden. Although Swedish prosecutors have since dropped the charges, British police remain outside the embassy ready to arrest the WikiLeaks co-founder for breaking his 2012 bail conditions. Assange refuses to surrender to the British authorities, fearing they would extradite him to the United States where he will be prosecuted for his whistleblowing activities.

    Can somebody help me out here? I can't find the emails.
    Further, I would like someone to explain the meaning of "collusion" wrt the NYT and the Clinton campaign. Wasn't it more like co-operation? What was illegal about any of this sharing? What am I missing here?

    Published on 10 Jan 2018

    The Ecuadorian ID reportedly granted to Julian Assange could mark his first
    step to obtaining diplomatic immunity, as Ecuador wants to resolve Assange’s
    indefinite embassy stay, human rights activist Peter Tatchell told RT. READ MORE: https://on.rt.com/8wmi

    The rumours are he has been given an Ecuadorian ID card pending a passport...


    UK rejects Ecuador request for diplomatic status for Assange, demands he ‘face justice’



    Published on 11 Jan 2018
    The Wikileaks co-founder has been granted an Ecuadorian ID card, as a step towards
    ending his five-year confinement in Ecuador's London embassy. The UK Foreign Office
    has refused a request from Ecuador to grant Assange diplomatic immunity. In a letter
    to us, the FCO stressed that it would not discuss the matter except to say that the
    case would only be resolved if Assange leaves the embassy and 'faces justice'.

    Podesta Emails #45924 (WikiLeaks) © Wikileaks

    Brian... you OK?
    LOL! Well, pretty OK, Herve. But I've noticed, lately, that when I put my arm up like THIS, I feel a twinge down my right side that ... oh nevermind. I'll just do some stretching.

    As to your nicely provided link, thanks as well. I had already browsed through it, however, and was unable to discern how it may indicate legal trouble for Hillary, expaining as it does why the email leak is probably not going to raise any legal issues for her. So, to repeat, what am I missing here?

    I get that the leak shows that the NYT gave the Clintons a "heads up" about material that it was about to release, but that comes a no surprise, given its ongoing war on Trump. So why is this an important revelation? Is there a source I'm missing?

    Thanks for any help in this regard. Now i'm gonna retire to my yoga mat for some "Sun Reaches".

    Cheers,

    Brian

    If Ecuador is able to fast track Assange's status and make him a full citizen (it's a pretty drawn out, several step process, normally), then they could make him a member of the Ecuadoran embassy staff.

    I think that this would be a more bullet proof status than what has been proposed so far. If so, it would be an interesting scenario to see if Britain respects Ecuador's soverignty.

    Suggestion for yoga mat meditation:

    Quote Posted by Hervé (here)
    Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, John Podesta, received an email from an advisor which brought up the phrase "gross negligence" in regards to the FBI's email investigation before the FBI agent in charge of the probe removed the phrase from her exoneration statement, according to WikiLeaks.
    That's documenting the "gross negligence" original assessment that got edited into "EXTREMELY CARELESS" which completely avoids legal incrimination of Hillary by the FBI. Both Podesta and Clinton knew about it and it magically got edited... effectively teflonizing Hillary's actions from further digging into that subject.

    Quote Posted by Hervé (here)
    Former FBI Director James Comey's original draft from May 2, contained the phrase, and at some point over the next eight weeks, Peter Strzok - the man who headed up the investigation, removed it - materially changing the legal significance of Clinton's actions, effectively "decriminalizing" her behavior when Comey gave his speech on July 5, 2016.
    Anyway, that's what I understand of that circus' dog & pony show.

    BBC - (breaking?)

    Julian Assange becomes Ecuadorean citizen

    The Ecuadorean government has confirmed that Julian Assange was granted Ecuadorean citizenship on 12 December.

    Ecuador subsequently asked the UK to recognise Mr Assange as a diplomatic agent - a move that could have given him immunity.

    The UK has refused, saying Mr Assange - who has been at the embassy since 2012 - should now leave and "face justice".
