the media is really running with this. POTUS did not offer JA a pardon.

 

This is the fake news media spinning an old story from 2 years ago. Dana Rohrabacher met with Assange, and offered to petition POTUS for a pardon if he would reveal his DNC email source. He was not representing the admin, and never even spoke to POTUS about it. He reiterated this back in Feb when the story cropped up again. He did give John Kelly a call to run it by him after the meeting but never heard anything back.

 

"I spoke to Julian Assange and told him if he would provide evidence about who gave WikiLeaks the emails I would petition the president to give him a pardon,โ€ Rohrabacher said. โ€œHe knew I could get to the president.โ€

 

''When he spoke to Kelly, the then chief of staff was โ€œcourteousโ€ but made no commitment that he would even raise the matter directly with the president. โ€œHe knew this had to be handled with care,โ€ Rohrabacher said, and that it could be spun by the news media in ways that would be โ€œharmfulโ€ to the president. In fact, Rohrabacher said he never heard anything further from Kelly about the matter, nor did he ever discuss the subject directly with Trump.
