Julian Assange appeared, via video link, at his pre-trial hearing in London today. Courtroom reporter James Doleman says that one of Assange’s lawyers told the court that he was offered his freedom in return for testimony clearing Russia of any involvement in the DNC hack.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard much about Putin chum former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher. Back in 2017, The Wall Street Journal reported that he’d brought the offer to Assange when he visited him at the Ecuador embassy.
Just a quickie post, as there is yet not much on this out there. I’m not terribly happy that this is all going down while Trump is still in the White House. Of course, Assange deserves a speedy trial, like anyone else; it’s just shitty timing.
