Noam Chomsky posted:“We could proceed to an indictment, but if Loretta Lynch is the head of the DOJ in the United States, she’s not going to indict Hillary Clinton,” Assange told ITV. “That’s not possible that could happen." How convenient. "Well, I mean, she WASN'T, but she totally WOULD have been, except"

I'd tell you to gently caress off, Assange but that's part of your problem. Remember when their was not one but two wiki leaks movies out in a single year?

Though, it was likely worse back in the day? Anyway, it was my understanding that Benoit's drive for authenticism is what did him in. As in, he actually took all those massive hits to the head for realises, instead of just for show. He was simply too hardcore for this world

Maybe the FBI will indict if that Assange jerk comes and testifies in court against Hillary. I'm just sad because PEDs are pretty hard on the body. Mentally and physically.

Jonas Albrecht posted:Wasn't one some weird CIA funded hit piece on him? I looks it up and it turns out there were actually three of them released to theaters all in 2013. One was accused of being a CIA plot, the other of Disney not listening to Assnage or consulting him, and the third was released to theaters by wiki leaks to counter the Disney film. All of them failed miserably at the box office so I think ultimately the American people were exposed to absolutely nothing.

botany posted:Or he could be a rapist and the whole thing's about wikileaks as well. Considering how much of an edgelord Assange is I'm almost certain this is the case. It's loving embarrassing in retrospect that defending Wikileaks' early success implicitly means you have to defend that rear end in a top hat in the eyes of your conservative friends. I'm glad newer whistle blowers like Snowden have mostly made people forget about Assange, much to his anger. Also it seems rather disingenuous as leftists to say on one hand, rape is bad, rape culture is bad, women should be believed when they say they are attacked, and then in the next breath say, well this woman is a liar who is only claiming rape to further the American imperial agenda, or what have you. You can say that Assange should not be extradited to the US for political crimes while also acknowledging his status as a Massive rear end in a top hat Dick and probable sexual predator.

Inferior Third Season posted:John Oliver basically showed in his first season that the average American thinks that Assange and Snowden are the same person. My condolences to Snowden. As per the emails, I skimmed the first couple and it seems pretty banal. A lot of them are to Hillary, not from. A lot of "a thing happened, have an AP article Madame Secretary." One rather amusing one on how to help Iraq produce and export more oil, though nothing aggressive or undiplomatic (to my admittedly untrained eyes). A couple marked sensitive but not classified, which I presume is not what the "indict Killary" crowd wants to hear. I dunno, I'm on a phone so I can't read a thousand boring office emails from the State Delartment, but there's no loving way Wikileaks got damning evidence that would incriminate Hillary in anything worse than anybody else in Washington does from a FOIA request and the FBI wouldn't know about it.

Seriously by the time you're three generations into America, no one cares about the divisions in their home country. County Antrim v County Cork, Prague v Brno, Munich v Hamburg, Herat v Kabul, no one gives a poo poo after three generations. All ethnicities are reduced to drinking holidays. The Emperor of all drinking holidays is the 4th of July. That's the amazing thing.

Much like the previous emails, they seem to be a mix of media FWDs, questions about scheduling, and occasional conversations about printer toner. There's a pretty good one with staffers mailing conspiracy theories to one another, and apparently Hillary was trying to help with medical reforms in Haiti.

At least with other holidays you have some other nominal goal, such as trick-or-treating, or celebrating the birth of America, or changing to a new calendar, or trying to forget how racist your extended family actually is.

 He obtained the emails through FOIA, nothing in them is going to be anything that someone hasn't already seen. Also, again, the burden of proof here has to be that she knowingly compromised classified material (that was classified at the time) with malicious intent. It's a very high bar and it's not happening.
