On Fox News Tuesday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange produced hard evidence that Hillary Clinton clearly lied to the FBI about her understanding of classified markings as secretary of state.
In her July 2 interview with the FBI, Clinton claimed that she simply didn’t realize as secretary of state that the “(C)” designation on emails indicated the inclusion of classified information, saying instead that she thought that might simply be intended to signify some sort of alphabetical ordering for the message (an absurd claim the FBI didn’t bother challenging her on).
But Assange blew that nonsensical excuse out of the water Tuesday, announcing that he had “thousands” of examples of her using the “(C)” classification herself as well as 22,000 examples of her receiving messages from others with the marking.
“In the FBI report released Friday, I agree with your analysis, it is very strange that was released Friday afternoon on a Labor weekend,” Assange told host Sean Hannity. “I do think it draws questions to what sort of game the FBI is trying to play. … Hillary Clinton says that she can’t remember what a ‘C’ in brackets stands for. Everyone in positions of government and in WikiLeaks knows it stands for classified, confidential.
“And in fact, we have already released thousands of cables by Hillary Clinton…with a ‘C’ in brackets right there,” he continued, showing the documents. “Thousands of examples, where she herself has used a ‘C’ in brackets, and signed it off, and more than 22,000 times that she has received cables from others with this ‘C’ in brackets. So, it’s absolutely incredible for Clinton to lie. She is lying about not knowing what that is, but it’s a bit disturbing that James Comey goes along with that game.”
During the interview, Assange also had a warning for Hillary Clinton: more damaging leaked emails are coming “soon,” and in order to stir up even more intrigue, his group may start releasing “teasers” about their contents as early as next week. Asked by Hannity when we could expect WikiLeaks’ latest batch of Clinton emails, Assange said that’s “tricky” but that the first batch of damaging emails would be published “reasonably soon,” with teasers to be provided perhaps next week.
“The first batch is reasonably soon,” said Assange. “We’re quite confident on it now. We might put out some teasers. I don’t want to promise anything because we want to see how the formatting goes. We might put out some teasers as early as next week.”
Anyone paying any attention has long known that Clinton is corrupt and habitually deceptive, but the degree to which the FBI has soiled its reputation to protect her is frankly stunning. As Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro put it, “For months Americans wondered whether the FBI, led by Director James Comey, would take down the most corrupt woman in the history of American politics, Hillary Clinton. As it turns out, Hillary Clinton took down the FBI.”
