Arrow Assange lawyer tells court GOP congressman proposed deal to help Trump

Assange lawyer tells court GOP congressman proposed deal to help Trump

Re: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...-congressman-/

A lawyer for WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange told a British court Friday that her client was offered a deal in 2017 by a Republican congressman who said he would be helping President Trump.

Jennifer Robinson detailed the previously disclosed meeting between Assange and former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican, during her client’s high-stakes extradition trial in London.

Another member of Assange’s defense team, Florence Iveson, read a statement in court from Ms. Robinson in which she recalled attending the meeting alongside both her client and then-congressman.

Ms. Robinson said Mr. Rohrabacher was accompanied by Charles C. Johnson, a conservative activist, and they “made clear that they wanted us to believe they were acting on behalf of” Mr. Trump.

“They stated that President Trump was aware of and had approved of them coming to meet with Mr. Assange to discuss a proposal and that they would have an audience with the president to discuss the matter on their return to Washington, D.C.,” recalled Ms. Robinson.

Mr. Rohrabacher, according to Mr. Robinson, proposed that Assange identify the source of the stolen Democratic National Committee material released by WikiLeaks in 2016, “in return for some form of pardon, assurance or agreement which would both benefit President Trump politically and prevent U.S. indictment and extradition.”

“He and Mr. Johnson also explained that information from Mr. Assange about the source of the DNC leaks would be of interest, value and assistance to President Trump,” Ms. Robinson added.

Personal note: It's going to get really ugly in the very near future. Lot's of back door deals in the making. What a hell of mess this world is in.
