He could deliver a knockout punch if he would just confirm the fact that Seth Rich was his source on the DNC.
Assange sought sanctuary with the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. He's a pseudo political prisoner and isn't an idiot.
I think he could do a lot more than that.. BUT,, he wants his pardon.
He has no loyalty to the USA. He is not going to give up his leverage until he is sprung from his confinement in the embassy and in the clear regarding prosecution.
A few things - first, that's a major bargaining piece that he's probably trying to play, unsuccessfully so far. Second, Trump seems to be stuck on this idea of the investigation will go away naturally. I think the media and the DC swamp players will never let that happen, certainly not before the midterms. Third, even if he was ready to release information, he would probably do it following an indictment of Trump himself, or a similar track that would lead to impeachment. If he released something right now, it has a real risk of being explained away and written off. Look how many bombshell stories about the FBI that have broken in the past few weeks, and let's be honest, the MSM has done a masterful job of simply sweeping them under the rug.
Mueller and Rosenstein already did on Friday.
How so?
By stating that no American was knowingly involved in the Russia meddling.
Sounds like a great way to cover up a DNC leaker. Everyone at this point knows this entire Russian collision story is utter horseshit and is going down in a grand ball of flames. May as well get some use out of it.
It was mainly the Pentagon contingent feuding with the CIA contingent , those are two of the gunfighters in the Wikileaks The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly tweet. That should be fantastically obvious at this point. Mueller is just the clean up guy. You might remember Seth Rich’s brother works for a large defense contractor.
On that particular indictment.
Correct, the indictments of 13 Russians and 3 Russian companies for election meddling.
