Congressman unable to speak with Trump full year after Julian Assange meeting
Washington Examiner ^ | Aug. 20, 2018

Posted on 08/20/2018 7:21:59 AM PDT by deplorableindc

A congressman who doubts that Russia hacked Democratic emails during the 2016 election has been unable to speak with President Trump despite a full year attempting to broker a pardon for WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange in exchange for information disproving Russian culpability.

It’s unclear why exactly the White House has kept Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., at an arm’s length, and whether the decision is an example of uncharacteristic restraint by Trump or a result of interference by deputies fearing reputational or legal hazards.

Rohrabacher told the Washington Examiner he believes that fear of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation has prevented the conversation from happening.

Then he needs to get the info out into the open w/o regard to pardoning that albino bastard. Truth stands alone; and it matters more than anyone’s quid pro quo. Mercy!

Well you know Dana isn’t important.

He’s just a successful Republican/Libertarian politician from the wealthiest and most Republican part of California.

So he doesn’t count.

But hey, if you’re Bob Mueller, a shady government attack dog “attorney”, you can appoint yourself to be above the President, review everything he’s ever done or said, demand to review Presidential decisions to see if he’s OK with them or if the President should be arrested for policy decisions Bob doesn’t like, and let it be known that if the President doesn’t submit to an interrogation in a dark room under a single light bulb by Bob and his DNC hack attorneys, why then the President should get run out of town on a rail.

Dana just doesn’t get it. If he wants real power, getting elected means nothing. Ya gotta be in the Bureaucracy to be Someone.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher could hold an “empty chair” interview from the floor of the House.

Interesting story:

http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=134464

“The mother of Julian Assange claims murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was the person behind the leaked DNC emails, not Russia.

In a tweet sent Thursday, Mrs. Christine Assange slammed the media for failing to adequately report on the corruption within the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton campaign during the 2016 election.

If you people would watch the other side, you would know that the left sees Rep Dana Rohrbacher in the pocket of Russia.

The latest story to hit last week was that someone hacked his Democratic rival’s computers in the election....of course, everyone blames Russia and Rohrbacher (because he is too close to Russia).

Yes, this is the insanity of the left on display and why Trump has to be careful navigating the minefield.

Seth Rich entrusted Julian Assange with information only he could obtain and paid for his actions with his life.

Next, I am not sure where your vitriol and classless comment on him being an Albino and the child of an unmarried mother. He is neither and the ignorance willful or otherwise founded reflects in your comment. If you have ever worked on a plan of the magnitude this one encompasses and beyond planning a Saturday BBQ you might realize that timing is everything.

Why are so many Governments, particularly the Brits after him and what he knows an has proof of. Q has mentioned Assange and not in the negative way you have and I will just chalk that one up to just you being you and possibly anxious for this whole thing to just go away

Not a quid pro quo at all, a mans life is on the line and his role in this is far more important than a hacker as you seem to be referring to him as looking for a deal.

Or maybe you do know, and your comment comes from another point of view

Time will tell, it always does

Cards on the table

Trump already has the information and does not need to pardon Assuange to get it.

Wasn’t Rohrabacher involved with the Russian red-head who’s sitting in a Alexandria Va jail cell on FARA violations?

I believe he is the ‘unnamed congressman’ she met with according to her indictment.

Rohrabacher has also had multiple contacts with the Russian lawyer from the Trump Tower meetings.

Not a guy Trump needs to meet with.

Sorry to have hurt your feelings so badly. I withdraw my comment.

I do know Assange is important. But I think the truth is, too — especially since the withholding of it is costing our country dearly.

And if what Rohrabacher knows will help pin the murder of Seth on the DNC and deepstate, then it needs to be outed quickly.

It pisses me off that the truth is available but needs to have a presidential pardon first. That is sick. Anyway, even if a pardon is granted, that doesn’t stop an assassin.

If there were a real investigation into the “hacked” DNC server and election meddling, a deal for Julian Assange would have happened a long time ago.

weird bump. Warner and Burr are also up to something involving Assange.
