EXCLUSIVE: WikiLeaks' Julian Assange on Releasing DNC Emails That Ousted Debbie Wasserman Schultz

[@Nicopasta85]

America owes wiki leaks a million thanks. Thank you Julian you are seriously my hero.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Yep, there is no way Trump can lose this now unless he completely messes up. TY for saving us from the NWO Wikileaks!

[@Muadib223]

How do you repay Assange for the 4+ years he has spent exiled in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London being accused of trumped up charges demanded by the Obama administration? The email leak is just the beginning of the payback... Revenge is a dish best served cold...

[@lindamargaretfalaschetti9476]

he's already offered him one

[@lipstickbutch]

+Muadib223 by electing Jill Stein who would pardon him

[@lvteachme973]

Yes, Julian Assange is still serving the people. A stand-up guy.

[@warriorwaitress7690]

Thank you, Julian Assange! Once again, you have shown yourself to be on the side of truth and transparency regarding important matters concerning the public.

[@fo747]

thank you julian.

[@serendipify]

👏👏👏

[@lipstickbutch]

Yes thank you!

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Its amazing we have to rely on people like Assange to tell us this. What happened to real journalism (oh its in the DNCs pocket)

[@nmarbletoe8210]

Morning Joe and Mika were tough UNTIL they got pressure from the boss.

[@MoeSlislack]

the Clintons killed real journalism in the 90s. it's also when we became so politically correct.

[@professorspano240]

Assange is a criminal living at the Ecuadorian Embassy for the last four years, and wanted for two counts of rape by Sweden. Also, those emails are supplied by anonymous source. So, if you believe a rapist and an anonymous source, it is prerogative. And, have you read all the 20,000 pages?

[@MoeSlislack]

Professor Spano have you read them? he's a criminal for revealing the truth and idiots like you will defend your corrupt side no matter what.

[@jamesgammon3403]

When the corporations were allowed to take over the media in the 1980's I said then that this sort of thing would happen! Whoever accepts the most money from these corporations will get preferential treatment. Nobody is more for sale than Hillary Clinton!

[@FleurPillager]

Wasserman-Schultz's resignation is not enough. Hillary Clinton needs to accept responsibility for the actions her party took to secure her nomination.

[@MrGyromancy2]

Team Hillary will go to "Plan B" like all liberals do. Call the opponent racist 100 times a day on CNN (Clinton News Network), even if it's completely false.

[@jdw99]

This may be the first time in history the words "Clinton" and "accept responsibility" have appeared in the same sentence!

[@MrGyromancy2]

thewanderandhiscomp and yet you can't even name one illegal activity of Trump's

[@castello544]

www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/06/donald-trump-scandals/474726/

[@rottncf]

DWS did not act on her own. She IS part of the Clinton machine....which is why Hillary is protecting her.

[@Nilguiri]

Can't you show a warning before you show Schultz' face? I almost threw up.

[@pdalko]

Needs a "Viewer Discretion Advised" disclaimer if they are going to show that.

[@LuisDiazArt]

You are not kidding. HD Fugly. I had it on full screen mode, too. Gross!

[@marioderioverde4470]

You most BE a girl for BERNIE,and somebody pay for your bills.

[@barticusmaximus1230]

Real talk, threw up in my mouth a little bit. *shudders*

[@TheDavidDaoud]

Nilguiri, have you noticed the resemblance between Debbie Wasserman Shultz and Bibi Netanyahu's wife Sara? Are they related?

[@dadlovesalex9857]

I feel so bad for Julian Assange. From Chelsey Manning, to Edward Snowden, to Julian Assange... the people of the United States have totally let them down for their patriotism. All three are heroes in my book!

[@Lisammifsud]

Julian Assange is from Australia he is NOT an American

[@AfricanSouthernCross]

Julian Assange is Australian and Chelsey Manning released secrets during a war, that's called treason even during peace time, get you facts right.

[@TonyBraun]

"During a war", you shithead Mark, it was an illegal war and America was committing F%&KEN war crimes.

[@michaelmisquez5794]

Julian, please know that you are appreciated. God Bless You

[@northofyou33]

I wish these emails had been leaked six, eight months ago. We might be nominating Bernie right now.

[@zelie-catheriner52]

+northofyou33 I think it's safe to say we *would* be nominating him had they been released back then. Then again, many of these particular anti-Bernie attacks didn't exist yet...but I'm sure plenty of other exchanges would have been sufficiently damning to cause an insurmountable problem for her (particularly coupled with the FBI investigation). And now Assange says 20,000 more are on the way...not sure if they'll focus on additional intra-DNC mayhem, Clinton Foundation corruption, or both.

[@LRRPFco52]

I disagree, and I think wikileaks actually had them around that time when the DNC servers were open to both campaigns. It would have been much easier for the presstitutes to engage in damage control back then, than at the eve of the DNC. Wikileaks was strategic in when they released them, and now we will see how powerful the damage control capabilities of the establishment are in the information age. Google, bing, yahoo, and other relevancy based search engines are fully in-bed with Hillary, so it's an uphill battle.

[@zelie-catheriner52]

LRRPFco52 Excellent points- I've been wondering about the GOP's vulnerability to hacking as well, since the inner machinations of their whole season would have been absolutely fascinating too. I'm not tech-savvy enough to have an informed opinion about how the susceptibilities of each party's systems compare. I'm still absorbing all of this with a weird mixture of shock-free disgust and deep gratitude towards Wikileaks. I guess I just meant to express that Bernie would have been the winner had the whole f^cking thing not been rigged against him from the very start / played out organically. Then again, he's been around for decades and must have known this was the inevitable outcome - still trying to figure out his strategy in all this.. Agreed on the presstitutes and talking heads - they are indeed within her clutches and make me want to hurl.

[@LRRPFco52]

zelie-catherine r It wouldn't have mattered anyway, since the RNC emails would most likely have included how to sabotage Trump's campaign. How did that work out for them? It would just make them look inept even more than the RNC already does this cycle.

[@zelie-catheriner52]

LRRPFco52 Great points. By the way, what's your (condensed) theory about Bernie's strategy? Don't you think he must have been aware of the inevitability of this outcome? If his goal was to expose how completely rancid the entire establishment is, he certainly succeeded - yet he's still embedded in it. Surely he would face a major threat if he defected to the Greens, for example? I have family and friends in VT, one of whom worked with Benie directly for quite a while. He absolutely believes in his integrity and honesty based on those experiences. Interestingly, Bernie's not a fan of whistleblowers based purely on legal principle, and thinks Snowden should be tried for treason (which I find a fascinating/ironic twist to all this...)

[@mariebowling4259]

Thank you so much for exposing the truth. We are so thankful and you should get A medal for exposing these criminals.

[@Oldpangolin]

When all else fails BLAME THE RUSSIANS!

[@peterernst5690]

Well they did it.

[@ryanlee941]

+Peter Ernst if its true, does it matter who did it? no.

[@animalfarm7467]

Don't take the Soros (anti-Russian) Shills too seriously - they are either ignorant or they are getting paid. The rationality of their argument usually gives them away.

[@mca521980]

True & H- supporters always come back w/ the he did "this worse or that", as stated above somewhere. seriously? H- is a shitty, pathetic, most unworthy & untrusted candidate in history... *I'd Rather have him for 4yrs, than the possible Clinton/Bush/Obama Dynasties- combined would be more than 40 years?! 4- F'n decades of trash, people!!! Some wonder why WE are all screwed as a people! We have NOT truly had a candidate for the people. Their Greed factors consume them ALL! Maybe Trump/Putin being civil would be a good thing? I mean Considering Obama/Bush & [Hillary] Have done nothing but participate in endless Wars & Mass deaths... It has to stop! Who cares if it was Russia? Our stupid Gov. does this exact same thing to other Gov.. Pfftt Some People

[@whitegrant72]

well thats ok then even if Bernie was screwed over isnt Democrats short for democracy shame on you

[@robertanderson4862]

we love u and what u do Julian. I hope one day your honesty and courage is rewarded. keep up the good fight.

[@RFKjrForPres]

Julian is a US Hero, even though he's not a US system. .

[@anneporter123]

If he is not a US citizen then how can they try him for treason? That's not a rhetorical question.

[@not2tees]

I would tend to assume that the thinking is, he's a citizen of the world and the US owns the world.

[@1110-s1t]

+Rockin' Bliss they cant but they can charge him with espionage. its snowden who is up for treason.

[@anneporter123]

Thanks.

[@not2tees]

Liza Tanzawa Well, you have not delayed the release of your stuff, Liza.

[@suzanned99]

Thank you, Mr Assange, for your honesty, your courage, your hard work your devotion, and most of all, thank you for sacrificing your life to the betterment of our so-called democracy. Hang in there, you will get your moment.

[@drum3a]

More importantly, Hillary should withdraw candidacy.

[@MrGyromancy2]

Nah, , Team Hillary will go to Plan B" like all liberals do. Call the opponent racist 100 times a day on CNN (Clinton News Network)

[@MrGyromancy2]

Lemmiwinks making America a law-abiding country is "ruining our country." hmmmm.. Liberalism could be a mental illness, the more I see these lies about trump

[@drum3a]

+Lemmiwinks Supporting corruption is literally the best way to destroy a country. Donna Brazile should resign, also.

[@scottb5501]

+MrGyromancy2 yeah trumps going to make us a law abiding nation alright just not the Geneva convention, NAFTA treaty, and don't forget he's gonna make it easier to sue a journalist for writing a story about you...for the "law and order candidate" he doesn't know to much about the law and his campaign has been a circus show so definitely not a lot of order being upheld

[@angelpuente4021]

yesssssssss!!!!

[@Bible7Lover]

HATS off to Julian, he's truly a great Hero!!! *Bravo Julian!!!*

[@johannabresnan3334]

Blame it on the Russians ... yeah right.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

I dont think the Russians wrote these lol

[@legendsdestroyer2397]

Thank you Mr. Assange, you are a bless to the entire world

[@husleman]

SUUUUUUUUURE, let's blame Russia for conduct in YOUR emails, scape goating 101, folks.

[@aemckee]

One more legit reason for Putin to declare war if HilLIARy is elected. She and her campaign are playing with fire here.

[@mca521980]

+Ashley McKee I can't stand all the sheep that refuse to see facts. like a bit of personal research would be to much for these lazy people! thus, why "some" older peeps Vote her up, they rely on "CNN"/"MSNBC"... @the convention they did great w/the Bernie Blackouts once again, drounding out all the Booing of the Clinton Pay-4-Play Peeps... it's disgraceful we the people in the greatest nation, are dealing w/ major electoral fraud lawsuits pending on many (DNC & Debbie on multiple charges + media included for the misleading)... New Blood is badly needed in the W.H. or we will continue in these unnecessary wars!? the middle class & below (I'm bordering poverty) have a hard enough time as is... the whole Russia did it, pathetic! CLINTON CAN NEVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY- & MILLIONS DISREGARD THE BLATANT LIES FROM ALL THESE UN-CHARGED CRIMINALS... We'd all be locked up. Ugghhh

[@mca521980]

Haven't we all had enough of the crap dynasties we are ruled by? Obama 8Crap Yrs the middle class gone, homeless sicking & poverty has doubled, Other countries are #1 treated above Our own People/Kids & Vets. Then we've had the [28-Years] Of "Royal Bush's- 1 & 2", Then the Clintons.. & Now We're facing the possibility of Another 4-8yrs. w/HER?! @40-44 years of these [3 Families].. & she says anyone can be president! sry for ranting y'all

[@michaeljeansonne4309]

Its our turn on November 8th. Make sure you are registered

[@lipstickbutch]

Trump is friendly with Putin and gets his wives from Russia, why the heck would he hate Russia? What if he needs another wife one day? It would be fun to get the email that says: "Let's blame Russia and Trump cuz Trump blames Mexicans but we blame Russians for everything so that we can say we aren't racist" freaking hypocrites...

[@DavidEspenlaub]

Thank you Julian. We all realize this costs you a lot, but the value to the awareness level in this country is immense for those willing to learn. DWS's swift resignation/firing from the DNC and being hired by the HC campaign are a great testimony to how truthful these are. Keep it up please.

[@amlecciones]

Julian you're a hero for the world

[@terrytran328]

Thank you Julian Assange, you're a Good man.

[@weiqi8956]

HI. I'm grateful that evil has uncovered itself.

Hopefully though, a lot more to come.

[@kevtop351]

Really? Yoga, where talking about Hillary!

[@Jadae]

Rolling on the ground could be yoga. Gotta put out those personal fires somehow.

[@Scottm1721]

Free Julian Assange.

[@TES-bt8sv]

Bernie says Dems were against him...so he's still supporting their candidate (Clinton) anyway. I thought Bernie has more dignity than that.

[@pccchurch]

That' his job to lead the flock of sheep into the slaughterhouse.

[@TES-bt8sv]

Trump by no means is a maniac. Looking at Trump's history compared to a woman who is a confirmed liar, deceptive, and shows consistently poor judgment can not be considered "reasonable." Sanders was bought off by the very party that blackballed him.

[@TES-bt8sv]

The only problem is that he is taking me with them.

[@jmend8859]

you need to do more research on your candidate. google sociopath criteria and apply to trump, you can see for yourself he may not be a 'maniac' but he meets the clinical definition for sociopath.

[@monjiaitaly]

that means he has zero integrity.

[@dragonfly1929]

Thank you JULIAN ...

[@zulaigaworth4401]

Amy Goodman, I like your careful presentation. Thank you.

[@SMDAHL]

The paraphrase Snoopy, it must be hard for Assange to remain humble when the rest of journalism is gossiping and playing pokemon on their breaks.

[@moneyluser5711]

Assange is doing incredibly valuable work, and at great personal risk and personal cost. If he is ever prosecuted by the US I will be on a plane immediately to join a protest for the first time in my life.

[@joem1070]

Bernie should join Dr. Jill Stein on the green party ticket

[@AvgDude]

He should, but it looks like he either got some loot from the DNC or a promised cabinet position from Hillary. He seems to have completely sold out as far as his base is concerned.

[@Moseshypnosis]

I wouldn't say he sold out. I'm pretty sure he didn't know about all these e-mails until they were released. If you honestly thought Bernie was going to represent the Democrats then you've been lying to yourself this whole time. He should have ran Independent. The media didn't cover him; Trump and Clinton had all the major news stations under their command; this has easily been the worst election in history. Bernie just chose the lesser of two evils.

[@alexanderplatypus3664]

He legally swore not to do anything like that as a condition for dems allowing him in primary to begin with

[@adelaidemarie]

Jill Stein for president and Bernie Sanders as her vice would be nice.

[@adelaidemarie]

Or he was threatened. Perhaps they threatened a family member if he did not comply.

[@linanicolia1994]

all political parties seem to turn into covens....we need fresh blood, fresh air and fresh thoughts. Neither one of these two contenders is worth anything on the scale of humanity. They are self absorbed as they crave control to justify themselves. They do not give a damn about humanity and that will be their downfall, as it will come, for sure. We have " friends " in high places who value our planet, as much as we do, We simply have to meet and mingle as we learn we are a primitive form of energy yet we want to improve and move on. Not possible with these puppets. They would hold us down and treat us like slaves. That is what the cabal wants to do with the sheeple.....well.....something will stop them.

I haven't figured out if Hillary is that dumb or arrogant to hire dws!

So Why why Is Wiki Leaks still not showing all the emails? What a re they waiting for? NO ONE has answered this

[@MatchCard]

Wikileaks apparently vets each piece of evidence and processes them (indexing, citations, summaries, etc). So the answer is, they are working on it but it takes time to process all that info. If they could get all the work done in an instant they would be showing it today.

[@ValleyOfTheShadow]

Thank you to the whistleblowers. It's a shame Obama did not keep his word on protecting you all.

[@zelie-catheriner52]

+Roy Eagan Agreed. There is also a really interesting twist here that no one seems to be talking about. I have friends/family members in VT, one of whom has worked with Bernie. They all support him passionately. But he (Bernie) has always taken a strong stance *against* whistleblowers - for example, he firmly believes that Snowden is a criminal who should be tried for treason if he ever returns to the U.S. (but has never called openly for his extradition, as far as I know.) That adds an additional layer of irony to this whole bizarre situation. He's so deeply principled that this fiasco has pushed him into an impossible ethical corner. He's certainly no 'sellout or 'coward', as he's being labelled by many in the (justifiably) enraged 'Bernie-or-Bust' camp - as well as by Trump and supporters. I really feel for him - a victim of his own unflinching integrity.

[@maryg6292]

No one was able to read all emails or confirm that emails weren't doctored or original. Unfair to put them out with no chance to review them before convention started.
