Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., plans to "divulge more of what he found directly to President Trump," he said in a statement.

A member of Congress who's one of the staunchest defenders of Russia in American politics met with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in London on Wednesday.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., spent around three hours with Assange talking at the Ecuadorean Embassy there, where Assange sought refuge in 2012 in the face of sexual assault charges in Sweden.

In their tte--tte, Assange denied that Russia was involved in the hacking or disclosure of emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign and published online by WikiLeaks, Rohrabacher's office said. U.S. intelligence agencies say Russia was behind the cybertheft and used WikiLeaks to distribute the pilfered data. Moscow denies the allegations.

The congressman and WikiLeaks founder also discussed "possibilities" that would allow Assange to leave the embassy where international diplomatic protections have kept him from being arrested, Rohrabacher spokesman Ken Grubbs told NPR.

Rohrabacher plans to "divulge more of what he found directly to President Trump," he said in a statement.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rohrabacher represents California's 48th Congressional District a sunny stretch of coast in Orange County. He has had a long and colorful career in politics, stretching back to his days as a speechwriter and aide to President Ronald Reagan.

With Rohrabacher wading into the Russia-WikiLeaks-Trump swamp, here are three questions raised by his meeting with Assange:

1. What are Rohrabacher's connections with Russia?

Rohrabacher has long harbored a fondness for Russia views that put him at odds with the Republican mainstream and have earned him the tagline "Putin's Favorite Congressman."

Rohrabacher says his affinity for Moscow dates back, oddly enough, to a weeklong trip he made in 1988 to visit the Afghan mujahedin fighting the Soviet Union. Since then, he realized his fight was against Communists, not Russians per se, he told the Los Angeles Times this year.

After the Soviet empire collapsed and Russia moved toward democracy in the 1990s, Rohrabacher cheered Moscow in its halting transition from communism to free market capitalism. He also got to know Russian officials, including a then-little known deputy mayor of St. Petersburg by the name of Vladimir Putin.

Rohrabacher claims to have lost a drunken arm wrestling match to Putin in the early '90s at a bar in downtown Washington after a game of touch football.

How does the California congressman view the man who rose to the Russian presidency?

"He's a tough guy, and he's supposed to be a tough guy," Rohrabacher told NPR member station KPCC in 2013. "That's what the Russian people want. But that's not a reason we shouldn't try to work with him."

Rohrabacher's positions on Russia largely correspond with Trump's, but they have won him few other friends in Washington, particularly in light of Moscow's interference in last year's presidential election.

Even his own Republican leadership has taken swipes at him. Last year, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy was caught on tape saying: "There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump." McCarthy later said his comments were "a bad attempt at a joke."

2. Isn't it unusual for a member of Congress to have such close ties to a foreign government?

Yes the FBI reportedly warned Rohrabacher in 2012 that Russian intelligence services were trying to recruit him as an "agent of influence" to help steer U.S. policy in Moscow's favor, according to the New York Times.

Rohrabacher said he was aware of the dangers when meeting with Russian officials, and there is no evidence the congressman ever entered into an agreement with Moscow.

But that doesn't mean Rohrabacher has shied away from contacts with Russia.

In July, an American financier accused Rohrabacher of using information he obtained from the Russian government to try to change a U.S. anti-corruption, pro-human rights law called the Magnitsky Act.

The Kremlin strongly opposes the law, which is named after an attorney who died in Russian custody after uncovering evidence of corruption by government officials. After Congress passed it in 2012, Putin retaliated by suspending American adoptions of Russian children.

The Magnitsky Act entered the public spotlight this summer thanks to Donald Trump Jr.'s emails about his meeting with a Russian delegation during last year's presidential campaign. Trump Jr. originally said the discussion was about "adoptions," which, to Russians, means the Magnitsky Act. According to the emails, Trump Jr. agreed to take the meeting because the Russian government wanted to offer compromising material about Hillary Clinton.

3. What did Rohrabacher and Assange discuss?

The meeting, which was first reported by the Daily Caller, was arranged by journalist and Internet provocateur Charles Johnson.

Rohrabacher and Assange discussed the status of WikiLeaks and Assange, whose disclosures over the years have drawn the enmity of the U.S. government, particularly the intelligence community.

In April, CIA Director Mike Pompeo went so far as to call WikiLeaks a "non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia." As for Assange, Pompeo called him a "narcissist who has created nothing of value. He relies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous. He is a fraud a coward hiding behind a screen."

During the 2016 campaign, WikiLeaks released emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. American spy agencies say the group received those materials from Russia.

In his meeting with Rohrabacher, Assange "emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure" of the emails, Rohrabacher's office said.

Rohrabacher spokesman Ken Grubb said the congressman and Assange also talked about possibilities that would allow him to leave the embassy, as well as what Assange knows about the DNC leaks. Grubb said no proposal is currently on the table.

Risk is screening as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival

Riskwasn't the movie Laura Poitras expected to make.

The documentarian, who won an Oscar for chronicling Edward Snowden's whistleblowing in Citizenfour,spent years following Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks team starting in 2011, including his right-hand woman, Sarah Harrison, and co-founder Jacob Appelbaum.

But as she filmed, a movie about the dangerous business of disseminating classified information turned into a story about avoiding extradition, not to mention a character study of the highly controversial figure. Assange made waves by releasing the Chelsea Manning-leaked war logs and video of what WikiLeaks called a "collateral murder" in Iraq long before Hillary Clinton partially blamed him for losing her the presidency.

Poitras couldn't have guessed she'd end up capturing footage of Assange sneaking around and donning a disguise in order to seek asylum at London's Ecuadorian embassy. He did so in 2012 after a British court ruled he had to go to Sweden and answer questions about allegations from two women of sexual misconduct, and he's been holed up at the embassy ever since.

Poitras recently talked to The Washington Post:

Risk turned out to be a very different documentary to the one Laura Poitras originally set out to make.

READ MORE: *You are being watched: Attention citizens *Watching the whistleblower: Behind Edward Snowden doco Citizenfour

I'm sure it's not easy for Assange to let people in.

It took time. It's not easy for good reason. They were really under extreme pressure in terms of the U.S. government investigation (for releasing information handed over by Manning).

Starting in 2011, documentarian Laura Poitras spent years following Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks team.

How often were you filming him?

The type of filmmaking I do, verite observational filmmaking I'm interested in when things are happening. So things happening would be like: him going to court or when he was calling the State Department trying to reach Hillary Clinton when they realised that there was a journalist who had published one of their passwords.

That happened when I was in New York, and I got a message from somebody who works with Julian saying, "Something's happening now if you want to get on a plane".I heard about it at noon and I was on a plane by the end of the day. I was in Norfolk (England)24 hours later filming.

The thing to know about Julian is he's trying to protect information. So when he decided to seek asylum, even people on his staff didn't know he was doing that. And he wouldn't tell me; I'd just be there and I'd film and find out later what was happening.

I got into the car thinking we were going to court, and realised that his mom was [in town]. When I walked into the hotel room, I thought we were there just to meet his mom, but then he was changing his appearance and I was thinking, "Okay, what is happening here?"

I liked the occasional first-person narration, which helped explain some of the contradictions about him as a character. At one point you say something like, "I don't know why he's letting me do this. I don't even think he likes me".Why did you decide to include those observations?

I take notes when I'm working and write down ideas and that was coming from what I was writing at the time when I was working on the film. I think it was a way to articulate the contradictions and ambivalence I was feeling and it was also for the audience to have a way to be okay with that. I think the film contains or shows incredible bravery and brilliance and also some disturbing attitude and behaviours.

I understand Assange's not crazy about the movie. Are you in contact at all?

You hear in the film I quote a text that he sent me where he says the film is a severe threat to his freedom and he's forced to treat it accordingly. He sent me that right before a screening we did a year ago at the Cannes Film Festival. I haven't really talked to him since I received that, but my producer has, so we're still in contact. And my producer screened the film for him in early April. I think he's still not happy, and what he's expressed and asked us to do is to remove scenes where he's speaking about the Swedish case, which we haven't done.

Man on the edge ... Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy. Photograph: Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP

Name: Edgewalkers.

Age: 11.

Appearance: In this case, blond, translucent skin, in need of fresh air.

Sounds like someone we know well. Yes, its Knightsbridge embassy cleaning staff bete noire Julian Assange.

What has he done now? The WikiLeaks founder is the subject of an epic 22,000-word New Yorker profile entitled A Man Without a Country.

No country? Way to insult your Ecuadorian hosts, Jules. I suspect they will live. The article describes a 2015 conversation between Assange and the artist George Gittoes, in which Assange talks about being an edgewalker.

I presume that means someone who takes huge risks. Such as, say, leaking emails believed widely to have been stolen by Russian intelligence services, which may have helped elect Donald Trump. Er yes. Gittoes explains: Its a Julian thing he reckons that many people think they walk on the edge, living a risky life, but an edgewalker really walks on the edge, and that he is a real edgewalker.

So, is the term an Assangism? Nope. It comes from the title of a 2006 book by Judi Neal, a management expert with a focus on spirituality in the workplace.

Is her definition the same as Assanges? Neals website says edgewalkers are those who are on the cutting edge of human evolution and who are committed to making a positive difference in the world. They use all of their human potential and integrate their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual energy in service to something greater than themselves.

Im sure Hillary Clinton would agree that this sounds like Assange. I think he is going by his own definition of the term.

How do I get to be an edgewalker, then? You can get different levels of coaching from Neals organisation all of which cost upwards of 2,000. It also does workshops around the world.

Ah. Maybe frequent Ecuadorian embassy visitor Pamela Anderson is in fact an expensive life coach. Well,starring in Barb Wire was certainly adangerous risk.

Do say: I would like to integrate my physical andspiritual energy in service to this mountain ofdata entry.

Dont say: Julian, play Where the Streets Have No Name!

Julian Assange: software developer, whistleblower ... and 'edgewalker'? - The Guardian

In 2010, Phillip Toledano photographed Julian Assange, the publisher of WikiLeaks, for Raffi Khatchadourians Profile of the man, titled No Secrets . Toledanos closeup portrait shows Assange with his chin lifted slightly, peering expectantly beyond the frame. His hair is white and his skin is pale, but there is a youthful keenness in his eyes. At the time, WikiLeaks, founded in 2006, was just a few years old. Toledano recalls Assange arriving for the picture-taking alone, with a rolling carry-on bag. When Toledano asked Assange about his apparent travel plans, he replied that he hadnt made anyyet; the bag was a precaution, in case he had to take off unexpectedly.

Two years later, Assange took asylum at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, and he has not left since. Nadav Kander recently photographed him in a small room there, for Khatchadourians second Profile of Assange, Man Without a Country , which appears in this weeks issue of the magazine. Seen side by side, Toledano and Kanders portraits illustrate the particular wear of the life Assange has lived for the past seven years. In 2010, Khatchadourian wrote that Assange can seemwith his spectral white hair, pallid skin, cool eyes, and expansive foreheadlike a rail-thin being who has rocketed to Earth to deliver humanity some hidden truth. Since then, the legal disputes, the unending political battles, and the physical isolation seem to have rounded the edge in his gaze.

Toledano remembers Assange being quiet and amenable in the studio. The man had an air of intrigue that Toledano sought to reproduce in the photograph in post-production. After the session, he pulled the portrait up on his computer screen and started re-photographing it over and over again until the digital moir we see in the final image emerged. In the degraded photograph, streaks of color run down the right side of Assanges face in a patchy pattern; even in print, he appears to be looking through a screen.

Because of Assanges current situation, Nadav Kanders session was much less flexible than Toledanos. For most shoots, Kander prepares three separate lighting scenarios and, whether photographing on Capitol Hill or in a hotel meeting room, will work with as many as three assistants for several hours to assemble each of the setups before his subject arrives. But space and time at the Embassy in London were tight. After unloading equipment into the lobby of the building, he and his assistants presented their passports, entered through an armored door, and set to work preparing in a conference room. A large wooden table that could not be removed made the usual three-stage routine impossible. Instead, they would disassemble one scenario and then build the next over the course of the shoot. They were told they would have thirty minutes.

In Kanders portrait, we see Assange in a gray shirt buttoned to the top. His white hair is tamed save for a few loose strands; stubble is coming in on his lip and chin. In his eyes, which look directly at the camera, there are small marks of light. In the 2010 Profile, Khatchadourian describes the low-grade fever of paranoia that hangs over Assange and his colleagues. That fever has since mixed with the conditions of confinement and an expanded, altered international reputation. The sureness we see in Toledanos portrait seems to have been replaced by something less solid.

The more I pare it down, the more you really see the condition of people, Kander says, when describing his approach. His portraits rarely include environmental contexthe aims to make pictures that focus on a persons corporeal structure, his skin and bones. Hes interested in the physical facts that have been etched on the face, which he describes as the truth about that person. On set at the Embassy, he sensed that Assange, who can be particular about how his likeness is disseminated, felt safe. The allotted thirty minutes turned into two hours. If people are very controlling of their image, Kander said, you get very few frames where they drop it. But when they do, for that second . . . you can really see it.

On Monday Google fired an engineer who wrote a now infamous memo against diversity that went viral within the company, was published by the press and has been the cause of non-stop talk ever since.

But the engineer, James Damore, needn't worry about a job if he needs one.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has publicly offered to bring him on board:

As you might expect, Assange argued that the guy had a right to express an opinion, however unpopular.

However, Assange went even further and appeared to defend the ex-Google engineer's controversial viewsby tweeting and linking to various bits of content that seem to be about scientists backing up the engineer's claims.To recap: the engineerbasically argued that many traitsgenerallyconsidered sexist stereotypes are in factbasic attributes baked into human biology and argued that Google's true problem is that it alienates people based on their political viewpoint, noteably people on thepolitical right.

Later, after the controversy began, the engineer revised his memo to say that the world is misrepresenting his ideas, "I value diversity and inclusion, am not denying that sexism exists, and dont endorse using stereotypes," he wrote, and said that he's heard from a lot of Googlers that agreed with him but are afraid to say so for fear of getting fired. (Here's the full copy of the memo.)

It's also worth noting that Assange has a history with Google. In between his defense of the engineer on Tuesday,Assange also fired off a tweet that plugged his book which includes a chapter on Google. Assangebelieves that Google had a "special relationship" with Hillary Clinton.

The memo enrapt and enraged so many people inside Google and outside that Google CEO Sundar Pichai cut his family vacation short to come back and calm his employees down.

The Democratic National Committee was not hacked by Russia nor by anyone else but instead was "an inside job by someone with access to the DNC's system," according to a report in The Nation.

"There was no hack of the Democratic National Committee's system on July 5 last year not by the Russians, not by anyone else," according to the Nation's report, referencing conclusions by a group of former NSA computer experts.

"Hard science now demonstrates it was a leak a download executed locally with a memory key or a similarly portable data-storage device.

"In short, it was an inside job by someone with access to the DNC's system," the experts concluded, since a remote hack of the committee's servers with the volume of data stolen would have been technologically impossible.

"This casts serious doubt on the initial 'hack,' as alleged, that led to the very consequential publication of a large store of documents on WikiLeaks last summer," the experts concluded.

In addition, the experts found forensic evidence proving the initial documents published by the hacker Guccifer 2.0 were forgeries intended to finger Moscow.

"Forensic investigations of documents made public two weeks prior to the July 5 leak by the person or entity known as Guccifer 2.0 show that they were fraudulent," the experts said.

"Before Guccifer posted them, they were adulterated by cutting and pasting them into a blank template that had Russian as its default language.

"Guccifer took responsibility on June 15 for an intrusion the DNC reported on June 14 and professed to be a WikiLeaks source claims essential to the official narrative implicating Russia in what was soon cast as an extensive hacking operation.

"To put the point simply," the experts concluded, "forensic science now devastates this narrative."

The Nation's report, published Wednesday, details the extensive findings by "qualified experts working independently of one another."

They began working on the DNC case "immediately after the July 2016 events," according to the report.

These experts are part of a group called the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), established in 2003 to investigate claims by the George W. Bush administration that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

The group now has 30 members, most of whom have "decades of experience in matters concerning Russian intelligence and the related technologies," the Nation reported.

In its findings, VIPS determined the NSA had the technical ability to find out exactly what happened because the agency's publicly known programs can capture all electronic data transfers.

"If NSA cannot produce such evidence and quickly this would probably mean it does not have any," the report concluded.

Besides addressing the technological issues surrounding the DNC breach and the Guccifer 2.0 drop, the VIPS report debunks a chronology of events surrounding the hack that led Democrats to finger WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as a Moscow operative in the breach.

It includes the June 12 warning from Assange it would publish hacked documents on Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign to Guccifer 2.0's second claim,July 5, that he had remotely breached the DNC servers.

"With his June 12 announcement," the Nation's observed, "Assange effectively put the DNC on notice that it had a little time, probably not much, to act preemptively against the imminent publication of damaging documents.

"Did the DNC quickly conjure Guccifer from thin air to create a cyber-saboteur whose fingers point to Russia?" the magazine asked.

"There is no evidence of this one way or the other, but emphatically it is legitimate to pose the question in the context of the VIPS chronology.

"WikiLeaks began publishing on July 22," the Nation reported.

"By that time, the case alleging Russian interference in the 2016 elections process was taking firm root.

"In short order," the magazine reported, "Assange would be written down as a 'Russian agent.'"

WikiLeaks Editor Julian Assange is daring Emmanuel Macron to call for his arrest, after the website released thousands of hacked emails from the French presidents election campaign.

After a tranche of emails associated with the French president was published in a searchable archive by WikiLeaks on Monday, Macrons political party released a statement saying a complaint had been filed with the authorities.

READ MORE: WikiLeaks releases 21,000 verified Macron campaign emails

En Marche will inform the public prosecutor of this new publication in the complaint already filed and under consideration for fraudulent access, fraudulent extraction of data, breach of correspondence and identity theft, a party statement said.

While the party did not specifically mention Assange or an arrest, the WikiLeaks editor has taken to Twitter to seemingly goad Macron, asking: You want my arrest?

Posting a Le Figaro article about En Marches statement, Assange, who has been taking refuge in Londons Ecuadorian embassy since 2012, suggested the French president should be clear about his end goal.

In another tweet linking to the same article, Assange implied that Macron was undermining press freedom.

On May 5, Macrons campaign team was the target of a massive hack two days before the final presidential vote. An investigation into the security breach is still underway.

The timing of the hack raised suggestions that it had been coordinated to influence the outcome of the election.

In the immediate aftermath, the French electoral commission warned the nations media not to publish details of the hack in the run-up to the vote.

On July 8, 2016, 27 year-old Democratic staffer Seth Conrad Rich was murdered in Washington DC. The killer or killers took nothing from their victim, leaving behind his wallet, watch and phone.

Shortly after the killing, Redditors and social media users were pursuing a lead saying that Rich was en route to the FBI the morning of his murder, apparently intending to speak to special agents about an ongoing court case possibly involving the Clinton family.

Seth Richs father Joel told reporters, If it was a robbery it failed because he still has his watch, he still has his money he still has his credit cards, still had his phone so it was a wasted effort except we lost a life.

The Metropolitan police posted a reward for information on Richs murder.

On Tuesday Wikileaks offered a $20,000 reward for information on the murder of DNC staffer Seth rich.

Now this Julian Assange suggested on Tuesday that Seth Rich was a Wikileaks informant. Via Mike Cernovich:

Was Seth Rich, the source of #DNCleaks, murdered? https://t.co/bKwYQJcmQp

Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) August 10, 2016

Julian Assange seems to suggests on Dutch television program Nieuwsuur that Seth Rich was the source for the Wikileaks-exposed DNC emails and was murdered.

From the video:

Julian Assange: Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. As a 27 year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington.

Reporter: That was just a robbery, I believe. Wasnt it?

Julian Assange: No. Theres no finding. So Im suggesting that our sources take risks.

HOLY SH*T!

UPDATE Brad Bauman, a DC consultant to Democratic candidates, wrote us today. Brad says he is the spokesperson for the Rich family. He asked if we would update our post with this statement.

The entire Rich family is so heartened by the outpouring of support and love that they have felt over the past few weeks as they continue to come to terms with this terrible tragedy. The family is in constant contact with authorities and thank them for their extremely thorough investigation. The family believes this matter is being handled professionally and with the seriousness that it requires.

The family welcomes any and all information that could lead to the identification of the individuals responsible, and certainly welcomes contributions that could lead to new avenues of investigation. That said, some are attempting to politicize this horrible tragedy, and in their attempts to do so, are actually causing more harm that good and impeding on the ability for law enforcement to properly do their job. For the sake of finding Seths killer, and for the sake of giving the family the space they need at this terrible time, they are asking for the public to refrain from pushing unproven and harmful theories about Seths murder.

WOW! BREAKING=> Julian Assange Suggests Seth Rich - Who Was MURDERED in ...

On Friday morning, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange decided to conduct a Twitter poll. Many people use Twitter polls to jokingly ask for life advice, but Assange seemed serious about the question he posed.

Between Trumps directness & leaks the Trump admin is the most transparent in living memorydespite its policies, he wrote. Good or bad?

Between Trump's directness & leaks the Trump admin is the most transparent in living memory--despite its policies. Good or bad?

— Defend Assange Campaign (@DefendAssange) August 4, 2017

The poll doesnt close for a day, but the consensus on Twitter is clear. People think Assanges tweet is one of the worst takes on the Trump administration.

WikiLeaks famously published thousands of emails related to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party before the election, which many thought swayed things in Trumps favor. Last summer, Assange said that choosing whether to vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump for president was like choosing between two different STDs. Its unclear who Assange currently supports (if anyone), but he definitely has an opinion about what information should be released to the publicand how.

In July, Assange said that he reached out to Donald Trump Jr. about publishing his emails on WikiLeaks.

Days later, he tweeted in support of a lawsuit that claims Trump is violating the First Amendment by blocking users on Twitter.

Now Assange wants to discuss the administrations transparencyeven if its not intentional.

But many thought Assange whiffed hereand gave him examples of how the Trump administration isnt actually transparent.

Of course, if Assange really cares about transparency, he could always leak more documents on the current administration.

Your move, Assange.
