WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has offered to prove that Russia didnt leak the e-mails of the Democratic National Committee last year. But he wants a deal a pardon for spilling the beans.<\/p>\n
There is absolutely no reason that President Trump shouldnt take him up on the offer.<\/p>\n
WikiLeaks published hundreds of thousands of DNC e-mails, as well as ones from the computer of campaign head John Podesta and others. If the Russians didnt hack the DNC computers and release the e-mails, then someone else did.<\/p>\n
And the best candidate for the role of leaker is someone inside the DNC perhaps a supporter of Bernie Sanders who felt his candidate wasnt getting a fair shake.<\/p>\n
This would change history and render moot any investigation of the Trump administration, except where it pertains to the much less serious allegation of obstruction of justice. I say lesser allegation, because it would involve obstruction of justice for a crime (the Russian hacking) that didnt happen.<\/p>\n
Heres my best educated guess on the whole thing: A very good source of mine says the Russians stole Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clintons e-mails, but never released them, while someone inside the DNC was responsible for making the e-mails of Podesta and other Democrats public.<\/p>\n
Whats the bigger effect of all this? Well, all else being equal and it never is in the Trump administration this would remove a cloud over the president and strengthen his hand in tax reform, ObamaCare repeal and lots of other things.<\/p>\n
The financial markets would like that.<\/p>\n
Trump should take Assange up on his offer.<\/p>\n
