The Lid: Reporting from John Solomon at The Hill on Monday sheds light on a little-remarked episode in the Russiagate saga from February and March 2017. It may hold the key to a lot. Solomon’s sources say that during negotiations with WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange, from which the Justice Department hoped to get an immunity agreement and some cooperation with Assange on redacting information from upcoming WikiLeaks data dumps, FBI Director James Comey spiked the whole process. Because of Comey, negotiations were shut down.
And, of particular interest to the Russiagate narrative, Assange was also offering to explain why the source of the John Podesta email data released by WikiLeaks in 2016 could not be the Russian hackers suspected by the FBI. (Assange was not offering to disclose his source; only to discuss why his information indicated it could not be the Russians.)
After Comey shut the negotiations with Assange down, attempts to revive them were unsuccessful. The end result was the devastating WikiLeaks release on 7 April 2017 of a CIA-developed hacking framework with which to build custom malware. This wasn’t just information about the kind of capability the CIA had; it was code-level data. more here
of course Comey quashed it … can’t have any interference w/ the anointing of the Queen Bee … after the election this will all be a big, what’s it called … a ‘nothing burger’? … yeah, that’s it
” … oops, there goes another rubber tree plant”
PDT is the ant that can’t!
Coney is gone, put it back on the table.
Immunity?? Hillary seriously wanted to drone-strike him lol
What an evil bitch we sent away.
Assange would have gained credibility if he had been granted immunity. It was (and is) essential to the deep state that Assange be as discreditable as possible given what he might disclose.
btw, Sen. Mark Warner is so deep in this, the shit’s up to his eyeballs
if the truth were to be known, ben rhodes probably couldn’t make it fit in his storyline
Comey thought he should be first to get immunity even though he did not need it because he had done nothing wrong.
TO Uncle Al
re: Assange
He & Wikileaks pretty much did themselves in by re-doxxing the ICE personnel…enemies of America (except for anarchists).
Because of Comey’s “higher loyalty”. We still have to determine who the recipient of that loyalty is.
Comey didn’t want that door opened to cover for Hillary and he sure didn’t want the scent trail refreshed over the death of Seth Rich.
assange is more of a patriot than comey.
deep state secrets must never be revealed, right?
that would threaten their death grip on the politicians and the public.

True.
But the greatest living allies of Americans.
