Julian Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections
CNN ^ | 7/26/2016 | Matthew Chance

Posted on 07/26/2016 4:56:02 PM PDT by Beave Meister

(CNN)Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Tuesday his whistleblowing website might release "a lot more material" relevant to the US electoral campaign.

Assange was speaking in a CNN interview following the release of nearly 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee by suspected Russian hackers. However, Assange refused to confirm or deny a Russian origin for the mass email leak, saying Wikileaks tries to create ambiguity to protect all its sources.

"Perhaps one day the source or sources will step forward and that might be an interesting moment some people may have egg on their faces. But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are," Assange told CNN.

The Kremlin has rejected allegations its behind the hacking, calling suggestions it ordered the release of the emails to influence US politics the "usual fun and games" of the US election campaigns.

There is value in the Dems being in torture waiting for the news to drop.

No way, hang in there. It’s only the warm-up show. First, Hillary has to give her speech accepting the lead as top criminal in a party nomination.

Then she gets the award for biggest loser when the shite hits fan.

What we’ve seen is a prelude to a greatest hits show.
Strength and Honor, be patient.

Trump doesn’t use email . If they hacked the RNC I’m sure it’s boring and wimpy . JMHO

IIRC, Donald Trump never uses e-mail on the advice of his attorneys. If anymore e-mails are leaked they won’t be Trump’s.

I don't know if there'any connection, but remember Bradley Manning was Wikileaks most prominent leaker, and he'said in a prion hospital after a suicide attempt.

If there is a deal to shut down Assange, it may involve Manning. Early release?

The converse of the DNC leak would be a hack into the RNC, not Trump. I was saying that such a hack would not hurt Trump, it would show that he overcame the RNC obstruction. It might show how over the months Reince went from fighting him to becoming his bitch.

So let me see if I understand this: According to the Democrats, the Russians didn’t hack Hillary’s private email server to get our national security information that she stored there, but they did hack the DNC’s server to get Democrat campaign secrets. Yeah. Okay. That’s what happened.

I would think that the most likely possibility is that Assange doesn’t know....If one is smart enough to hack in and copy a complete stash of emails, wouldn’t they be smart enough to drop them off at WikiLeaks doorstep without identifying him/herself?

“Might”???

Actually, 'might' is not in quotes, so it may be CNN's interpretation (or spin).

Does anyone have Assange's actual quote?

Release 1/2 of the worst incriminating emails at 4pm on the eve of her acceptance speech. And the rest at 4pm on election Eve.

Yes there is data out there that incriminates and will be used to control Hillary.

There is NO DOUBT the Obama DOJ will try to shut down this website.

No doubt.

Since the information was obviously stolen, that will be their "in".

And they will have the support of the Mainstream Media here in the US "because a rogue, criminal website" does not enjoy First Amendment rights as the "real" news media does.

You heard it here first.

I really want to see her hit hard NOW so that she doesn’t get the convention bounce... and then get hit hard the morning of every debate.
