re: #152 garzooma

Hasn’t Assange claimed all along that he didn’t get the stolen DNC material from Russia?

To answer my own question, yes he has:

HANNITY: Can you say to the American people, unequivocally, that you did not get this information about the DNC, John Podesta’s 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.

The current claim doesn’t make sense. Why offer a pardon in return for something he’s already done?
