Dana was dealing with the Russians at the expense of the US long before 2016. He is obviously one

Rohrabacher is a messenger boy, since the Internet cannot be trusted for his message to Trump.

(101,407 posts)8. DCCC demands Rohrabacher resign from House Foreign Affairs Committee
In a statement, Rohrabacher's office said the Australian fugitive "emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved" in the theft of Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 presidential campaign. The emails, which were published by WikiLeaks, put Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton on the defensive.
The conversation between Rohrabacher and Assange, which was first reported by the Daily Caller, "ranged over many topics," according to the statement, and "the congressman plans to divulge more of what he found directly to President Trump."
...
"Democrats and Republicans alike agree that Julian Assange is a threat to America's national security and has aligned with the Kremlin to undermine our elections," said DCCC spokesman Drew Godinich, who called Rohrabacher's behavior "completely shocking."

Pressed for more detail on the source of the documents, Rohrabacher said he had information to share privately with President Donald Trump.
Julian also indicated that he is open to further discussions regarding specific information about the DNC email incident that is currently unknown to the public, he added.
U.S. intelligence has insisted it has solid proof which it has not made public that Russia was behind last years election hacks that embarrassed Democrats, including unflattering revelations about nominee Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman John Podesta.
...
Julian passionately argued the case that WikiLeaks was vital to informing the public about controversial though necessary issues. He hoped that Wikileaks an award winning journalistic operation might be granted a seat in the White House press corps. As a former newsman myself I can't see a reason why they shouldn't be granted news status for official press conferences, he said.

It's all about covering up the Russian connections.

(905 posts)9. Dana was dealing with the Russians at the expense of the US long before 2016. He is obviously one
of their embeds. Wonder how many more of them we have in Congress, government, law enforcement?

(14,971 posts)10. Rohrabacher is trying to get charges dropped
against Assange and is trying to get Wikileaks a seat in the WH press room. Assange claims he can prove that Russia didn't hack the DNC and he has info on some other stuff that'll help Trump. Rohrabacher says he can't comment publicly on what Assange told him and it's for Trump's ears only which leads me to believe that he was sent there by Trump.
