Hillary Clinton Slams Julian Assange as a Nihilistic Opportunist Who Does The Bidding of a Dictatorby Aidan McLaughlin | 8:16 am, October 16th, 2017
Hillary Clinton knocked Julian Assange in an interview on Australian television that aired Sunday night, accusing the Wikileaks founder of doing the bidding of a dictator.
In an appearance of Australias news program Four Corners, the 2016 presidential candidate said of the Wikileaks founder: I think Julian Assange was become a kind of nihilistic opportunist who does the bidding of a dictator.
Interviewer Sarah Ferguson said that many see Assange as a martyr of free speech and freedom of information for his leaks, but Clinton contended that the Swede is a tool of Russian intelligence.
And if hes such a, you know, martyr of free speech, why doesnt WikiLeaks ever publish anything coming out of Russia? she added.

(16,423 posts)His attempt to make the world a better place is by trolling the people he sees as his enemies.
You don't see him writing about Trump or Venezuela or Russia or the Middle-East or the entirety of Africa or China or North Korea. No, the only thing he cares about is trolling HRC.
Venezuela's constitutional assembly essentially declaring itself the new legislative? That's no story?
The ongoing corruption-investigation surrounding the suspects of the Magnitsky-affair? That's no story?
Russia establishing a commission to find out whether there really are death-camps for gays in Chechnya... And that commission somehow has disappeared from public view? That's no story?
Saudi-Arabia stealing land in Africa by way of bribery and mercenaries? That's no story?
China kidnapping and disappearing booksellers who sell a tell-all book how chinese President Xi Jinping is a corrupt criminal? That's no story?

(4,291 posts)As I recall, real martyrs suffer and/or die for their beliefs. Real martyrs believe so strongly that their cause is just that they go willingly into the hands of their oppressors.
They do not hole up in a diplomatic basement trying to evade prosecution or persecution.
He's a fraud. Just like the Mangled-Apricot Hellbeast he directly helped grab control of our republic.

(53,787 posts)She's had time to recoup and is not biting her tongue about Assange the Putin tool and how we elected a sexual abuser to the WH, and that's just in the last couple of days.
Also, a few weeks ago, sshe came down on Comey, the repug, partisan hack who swung the election to trump and them subsequently tried to redeem himself only to be fired by debacle he helped install in the WH.
Keep it up, Hillary. Take no prisoners,, take the scales off peoples' eyes and show how fight these bastards while emboldening people to agitate to get trump out.

(19,572 posts)The scales have fallen from my eyes, and now I see Assange as part of the big con job.
And it saddens me to say this.
I still believe in transparency.
But for Russia as well as the U.S., and that ain't what Assange stands for.
He stands for Putin and Eurasianism, hell bent on the destruction of liberal democracy.
