Poor old sad-sack Sean Hannity flew all the way to London to interview Julian Assange, in a pathetic and desperate attempt to get Assange to say Russian hacks were not the source of the Clinton leaks.
...and Assange wouldn't play ball. He refused to pick up any of the sound-bytes Hannity tried to spoon feed him. So sad. Try something else, pinhead.
Attempt 1:
Hannity tried for about 15 minutes to get Assange to state that Russia was not the source of his leaks, by asking "Did you get your information from Russia?" Even a flathead like Hannity knows State spy agencies distribute their information through third party 'cut outs.' So, he was hoping Assange would simply say 'no, I didn't get the information from Russia,' and he could feed that little sardine to his flat-headed viewers who are going schizoid over their candidate winning the election with an assist from the KGB.
No dice, dickhead! The most Assange would say was that he did not get his information from "a State." DUH! We all KNOW that! Nobody's claiming Putin showed up at the Embassy with a diplomatic pouch full of trash talk about Chelsae Clinton.
Attempt 2:
Hannity tried for another 15 minutes to get Assange to say that he got his information from a disgruntled Bernie supporter in the United States, and Assange wouldn't admit to that either.
Attempt 3:
Since Assange had already said that Russia was not the (DIRECT) source of the leaks, Hannity had fun building himself a little straw man. First saying that the Obama Administration "was telling everybody" that Wikileaks got their information from Russia, and asking him "if they're saying that, are they wrong/lying?" Should have been simple enough. C'mon, please Julian, give this poor doofus a break so he can go back to New York.
NOPE! Assange actually challenged his premis by saying "but they're NOT saying that." He went on to whine that the Obama Administration has never even MENTIONED Wikileaks, and only claims that the source of the HACK was from Russia. Obama never claimed Russia gave the hacked information DIRECTLY to wikileaks...so NO SOUNDBITE FOR YOU, dumbass.
Attempt 4:
Finally, Hannity tries desperately to get Assange to admit that "the source of your information was from INSIDE the United States." Thus, still trying to get his talking point that it was a disgruntled BERNIE supporter who hacked Podesta's emails.
Still no luck! Assange wouldn't say that either.
Too bad, so sad, Sean. Now go back to New York, and take your stupid little NERF FOOTBALL with you.

UPDATE: OFFS!!!!!!!!
I wrote this yesterday, after the Hannity interview aired on Faux News to show that Assange didn't give Hannity the soundbyte he wanted. And, as such, only the STUPIDEST or the STUPIDEST of his viewers would think Hannity's interview confirmed that Russia was NOT the source of the hack.
Apparently TRUMP saw the interview too, and we can count him as one of Hannity's STUPIDEST viewers. Amazing....
