Assange: Russian government not the source of WikiLeaks emails

Damning emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman did not come from Russian hackers and the claim is being made to "delegitimize" Donald Trump, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Fox News' Sean Hannity in an exclusive interview.

Hannity sat down with Assange in London's Ecuadorian embassy, where the Australian native has been holed up for five years battling extradition to Sweden on unrelated charges. Part I of the interview is set to air Tuesday night at 10 p.m. on Fox News Channel's "Hannity."

In excerpts released prior to airing, Assange is adamant that the hacked emails his organization released of Clinton official John Podesta did not come from Russia, as the Obama administration has claimed.

I'm convinced the e-mails were provided to Wikileaks from a well-positioned Bernie supporter who was furious over how Bernie was treated by the Clinton cabal and democrat elites.

He's said this before.

But it doesn't fit 0’s narrative and it doesn't allow McCain to launch acts of war on Russia.

Both the DNC and Podesta emails? Or just the Podesta emails?

Assange was once a hero to the Left. No so much any longer.

These “Russia hacked the election” claims are looking more and more like the film that caused the Benghazi attack every day.

“He’s said this before.
But it doesn’t fit 0’s narrative and it doesn’t allow McCain to launch acts of war on Russia.”

For myself, I wouldn’t trust ANYTHING COMING OUT OF THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION! What a little “man-child” as Rush refers to obama. Sure does fit and that is what makes him so very dangerous. I fear “stompy foot” isn’t done yet.

That will not stop the democrats from making that claim. They do not care about the truth, just the talking points. They will continue for a time until after the inauguration. Then it will just die away. Somehow, we all knew the Russians did not do this. That does not stop democrats. Zero proof and nothing to show does not stop them either.

That would be Seth Rich, and he was murdered, shot in the back twice, shortly after the first huge dump of emails.
