Mr Rohrabacher visited Julian Assnage and discussed a pre-emptive pardon in exchange for personal assistance to President Trump in the enquiry then ongoing concerning Russian involvement in the hacking and leaking of the Democratic National Committee emails [Peirce 1, tab 1, §28] [Witness 2, tab 12, §30] [Peirce 2, tab 21, §9]. You now have admitted the statement of Jennifer Robinson at tab 42. This statement sets out clearly that on 15 August 2017 the visit took place to Mr Assange in the embassy by Mr Rohrabacher and a man called Charles Johnson [who we know to be closely associated with President Trump]; that they told Julian Assange and Jennifer Robinson that President Trump was aware of and approved of them coming to meet with Mr Assange to discuss a proposal [paragraph 5]. And as to the nature of the proposal itself, Jennifer Robinson explains it in this way at paragraph 10 of her statement:- “the proposal put forward by Congressman Rohrabacher was that Mr Assange identify the source for the 2016 election publications in return for some kind of pardon, assurance or agreement which would both benefit President Trump politically and prevent US Indictment and extradition.’ Original document here: [link to dontextraditeassange.com (secure)] |

We say that this whole pardon incident shows that, just as the prosecution was initiated in December 2017 for political purposes, so too the Trump administration had been prepared to use the threat of prosecution as a means of extortion to obtain personal political advantage from Mr Assange. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78126444 This has nothing to do with democrats. This is about Trump's DoJ extradition hearings in London court last week and this week, and sworn testimony provided by Assange's lawyer. Tell us more about credibility. here dude this is for you [link to www.thedailybeast.com (secure)] What the heck does that have to do with the testimony at Assange's extradition hearing? its called fake news..

Exactly. This is now Trump’s Justice Department fighting to extradite Assange to US prison and they definitely don’t want him to talk. Epsteined maybe? Trump has already said that he would like the death penalty for Assange. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77759789 The WikiLeaks attorney appeared at Woolwich Crown Court along with U.S. prosecutors, who argued that Assange should be extradited the United States, where he faces 18 charges and up to 175 years in jail. Attorneys for Assange previously told the court that former Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) tried to broker a pardon deal between the White House and Assange if he would agree to say that Russia was not the source of hacked Democratic Party emails. Defense attorney Edwards Fitzgerald said on Monday that Rohrabacher had called the pardon offer a “win-win.” But when the pardon fell through, the Trump administration tried to extort Assange with a political prosecution, according to the attorney. Assange’s lawyer expanding on claims US Repub congressman offered Trump pardon in exchange for saying Russia not involved in leaking DNC emails Dana Rohrabacher said to have described it as "win win" situation.. Assange could get out of Ecuadorian embassy and get on with life" [link to www.alternet.org (secure)] This is from today’s US extradition hearing for Assange. This one is from last week’s Thread: BOMBSHELL: Trump Offered Assange Pardon if He Covered Up Russian Hack, WikiLeaks Founder’s Lawyer Claims I think the question we should be asking is this: Why does Trump so badly want Assange brought to the U.S. and locked away in a U.S. prison? Just because the lying Globalist Cult MSM says Trump wants this or that doesn't make it true. |
