Julian Assange and Sean Hannity are giving Donald Trump the cover he needs on Russia.
Trump has been under increasing pressure from Democratsand some hawkish Republicans, particularly John McCain and Lindsay Grahamto acknowledge that Russia hacked the DNC in an attempt to influence the U.S. elections.
Trumps rebuttal is that his own judgment matters more than that of so-called experts. (Also, computers are complicated, man.) He seems especially sensitive to the hacks because they add weight to the argument that his presidency is illegitimatenot only did he lose the popular vote, but a foreign power may have pushed him into the White House.
Enter Sean Hannity and Julian Assange. In a rare interview with Hannity, Assange reiterated that his source for the Podesta emails was not Russian.
HANNITY: Can you say to the American people, unequivocally, that you did not get this information about the DNC, John Podestas emails, can you tell the American people 1,000 percent that you did not get it from Russia or anybody associated with Russia?
JULIAN ASSANGE: Yes. We can say, we have said, repeatedly that over the last two months that our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party.
Later in the interview, Assange argues that the sole purpose of the alleged Siberian connection is to delegitimize Trumpthat Trumps enemies have cooked up this story to undermine his presidency.
There are also plenty of reasons to doubt Assange here. One is simply that the hacks may not have been conducted by his source. But its a story that perfectly fits Trumps paranoid worldview. He wont be bothered with the veracity of Assanges statement because he apparently isnt concerned with the truth when it comes to Russian hacking. Instead, hell use the interview to protect himself from the charge that hes too soft on Russia. In fact, he may have already started.

They still didn't get silent is the best (in fact the sole one) strategy ?
Each time they open it, they just fall deeper in the hole !
In other words, a good lawyer really makes the difference...
