Weiner Laptop Doc: Assange Warrant Issued 2 Weeks After Swedish Election Leaks Warning

A confidential document found on Anthony Weiner's laptop reveals that the United States Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden expressed concerns in 2010 that WikiLeaks would release classified US documents related to Sweden ahead of the September 19 Swedish election, tipping the vote towards the Pirate Party. The subject of the cable reads "Wikileaks: The Pirate Party's White Horse Into Sweden's Parliament?

On June 29, 2010 a US diplomat met with three members of the Pirate Party - which is described in the cable as a "mixture between communism and libertarianism," yet whose members are "well-salaried professionals, independent  from the party for income." Two of the "pirates," according to the report, were active in the "youth branch of the conservative party currently leading government." 

The Embassy cable notes the "grim electoral outlook for Pirates" - as confirmed by a Pirate party member interviewed by the US diplomat, "Unless WikiLeaks Saves the Day."

Two weeks after the cable was sent, an arrest warrant was issued for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on sexual assault allegations - which was dropped, then re-issued, then revoked again by Swedish authorities in August 2015 when they dropped their case against him.

The emergence of this confidential document (found on Anthony Weiner's laptop and sent while his wife, Huma Abedin, was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff), is disturbing - as it potentially implicates the Obama administration in a conspiracy to silence Julian Assange while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State - not to mention that it could be the smoking gun in yet another clear case of mishandled information found on imprisoned sexual deviant Anthony Weiner's laptop the FBI's Peter Strzok and crew must have somehow overlooked. 

A brief timeline of events: 

On August 20, 2010, the Swedish Prosecutor's Office issued an arrest warrant for Julian Assange over a rape allegation - two weeks after the US Embassy met with the Pirate party and had concerns over Assange leaking US secrets. The net day, Swedish cancelled the warrant.  "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape," says one of Stockholm's chief prosecutors, Eva Finne. Swedish prosecutors did however continue to investigate a separate allegation of molestation, though they felt it was not a serious enough crime for an arrest warrant. 

On September 1, 2010Swedish Director of Prosecution, Marianne Ny, reopened the rape investigation against Assange.

On November 18, 2010, Stockholm District Court approved a detention request for Mr. Assange, who had traveled to London. Two days later, Swedish police issued an international arrest warrant. On December 8, 2010, Assange is taken into British custody and taken to an extradition hearing. Eight days later, Assange posts bail and walks free in London until May 30, 2012 when the UK Supreme Court rules that he should be extradited to Sweden. 

August 16, 2012, Assange begins his asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London - where he has remained for over five years. 

In February, 2016, a UN panel found Assange to be detained unlawfully in the Ecuadorian embassy.

In May, 2017, Swedish authorities once again dropped their case against Julian Assange, with his Swedish lawyer Per Samuelsson told Swedish media "It is a total victory for Julian Assange," adding "He is free to leave the embassy whenever he wants."

Unfortunately, that's not going to be quite so easy for the time being - as Assange faces immediate arrest by the UK for skipping bail in his extradition hearing. Moreover, in April of this year, CNN and the Washington Post simultaneously reported that Attorney General Jeff Sessions' DOJ has prepared criminal charges against Assange over 2010 leaks of diplomatic cables and military documents. 

While the DOJ seems intent on locking Assange up, the WikiLeaks founder has also received tremendous support from certain members of congress. 

As we reported last week, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher travelled to London in August with journalist Charles Johnson for a meeting with Assange, where Rohrabacher said the WikiLeaks founder offered "firsthand" information proving that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia, and which would refute the Russian hacking theory.

Rohrabacher brought that message back to Trump's Chief of Staff, John Kelly, to propose a deal. In exchange for a presidential pardon, Assange would share evidence that would refute the Russian hacking theory by proving they weren't the source of the emails, according to the WSJ

However - when Trump was asked in late September about the Assange proposal, he responded that he'd "never heard" of it, causing Rohrabacher to unleash on John Kelly, who he blamed for blocking the proposal from reaching the President. Rohrabacher told the Daily Caller

"I think the president's answer indicates that there is a wall around him that is being created by people who do not want to expose this fraud that there was collusion between our intelligence community and the leaders of the Democratic Party," Rohrabacher told The Daily Caller Tuesday in a phone interview.

 

"This would have to be a cooperative effort between his own staff and the leadership in the intelligence communities to try to prevent the president from making the decision as to whether or not he wants to take the steps necessary to expose this horrendous lie that was shoved down the American people's throats so incredibly earlier this year," Rohrabacher said.

Contributing to the notion of deep-state interference, CIA director Mike Pompeo referred to WikiLeaks as a "hostile intelligence service" in April, calling Julian Assange "a fraud, a coward hiding behind a screen" for exposing information about democratic governments rather than authoritarian regimes. This quite the ironic statement, considering Pompeo used leaked emails from WikiLeaks as proof "the fix was in" against President Trump. 

So - while the Swedish authorities have dropped their case against Assange, and the UN says he's been unlawfully detailed - the UK insists on arresting Assange the moment he steps outside the Ecuadorian embassy for jumping bail on the dropped charges, and the US Department of Justice is reportedly prepared to slap criminal charges on Assange. 

Perhaps the establishment is still a bit miffed that the "white wizard" showed the world what's really underneath the pantsuit, which despite the constant rhetoric of the past year is what ultimately cost Hillary - and so many of her charitable friends - the election.

That has happened before in history, too, but it all presumes that foreigners have enough control to sculpt the political opinions of citizens of other countries from a distance. This is just so arrogant, dripping with arrogance. It is just another way to ignore the will of voters. Wonder what part of the Pirate Party agenda was popular with enough Swedes to generate this concern and why?

I'll have a wild guess.  Give me a U, give me an S, give me an A.  USA.  Nah, couldn't be.  Washington had nothing to do with N Korea, Vietnam, Chile, Australia (really, 1975), Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Syria, the Ukraine and Yeltsin's Russia.  No way, that's just scratching the surface of a myriad totally inexplicable events, such as 9/11, which US governments couldn't possibly have had anything to do with.  Al Qaida and ISIS?  Nah, just random accidents of history.  Oh hold on a minute, can I see a pattern here?  

HOLY COW!!  I'm shocked I tell ya.  There was me, all these years, believing that, for example, Truman (sic), Nixon, Bush 1 & 2, Obomber and Killery  were angels of light, truth and justice.  I'm amazed that Julian Assange had to seek asylum and that Trump might never do anything about it.  Oh well, Viva Vladimir Vladimirovich, at least so far he hasn't disillusioned me, nor growing millions around the World, including decent people in the USA.

More smoke and mirrors, nicely done though.  If JA gets rolled up into the general Obama Admin "never saw a stitchup we didn't like" narrative, he may very well become eligible for a presidential pardon, or, at the very least, a dropping of federal charges. Of course, that assumes some high-ranking officials are eventually put on trial (still a supposition, at this point).

But the stench of the swamp is getting ever stronger. Methinks it's almost time to strike a match and burn off some of that nasty stinky methane. Perhaps it could be used to power a new generation of eco-friendly, green mobile-guillotine vehicles.

The Swedes do not have a mob, just a fake-feminist mob mentality that equates violent rape with accusations about nonviolent and voluntary events. When individuals lose all rights to a crowd ethos that defines every action by some lock-step political creed, you no longer have freedom as an individual. You are looked at as a member of a predatory male class or, on the other end of the ideological warping, as a member of the vaunted class of glorified working moms who can do no wrong. You are never an individual, with the the complexity, agency and rights of an individual. You should never be seen as a person with individual motives. You are a group.

Nothing wrong with groups, per se.  The jews are destroying whites by, among other things, selling them the story that they are all individuals, and their precious individuality trumps everything.

It's nice to feel like an individual.  It's nicer to feel part of something greater than yourself, something with perhaps a destiny that transcends mere mortality.  That would be your racial group, your culture, your tribe, your immediate family, or even just the linkage you make between your ancestors and your descendants.  It probably wouldn't be your country.

The jews, of course, exemplify my argument to the nth degree.  Of all racial/cultural groups, they have the strongest sense of identity.  Japanese, chinese, indians, muzzies (shared religion rather than genes) not that far behind.

The Germans under Hitler embraced this ethos.  Can't have white men doing it.  They must be destroyed.

Napoleon apparently doesn't believe in descendants.  Good luck with that one, mate.  That's what's taking us to the scrapheap of history.  Not much time left to get off that train, I'm afraid.

Yep. It is easier to avoid enacting new rules to put a curb on the Swamp’s global, money-making spigot and lobbyist-controlled chicanery by just vilifying a few of these creatures, when the whole system is rigged. Sure, some Swampians are more annoying than others, style wise. Hillary’s brand of Swamp is so hypocritical, for instance, but it is all bad. Trump’s best action was that executive order to put a freeze on assets of Swamp creatures who made money off of human rights violations in foreign nations. The Swampians and their donors mostly do not want to create ventures here in the underemployed USA, where they cannot just do anything they want.

Swampians are complaining that this involves 4th Amendment privacy rights, which is an issue for civil libertarians, but this was their work email, right? Of course, there is no separation between work and private life in the fake-feminist era of family centric, womb-productivity-based workplaces. Hiring, retention and work life revolve around the private lives of employees / managers. Have you heard than American productivity numbers are low? It is just a mystery.

Trump's "tax cuts" are going to accelerate the deficit spending trend that Obama (and Bush before him) initiated.  The Fed's machinations over the last 100+ years are utterly irrelevant because all of them are in fact driven by Congress.  The Fed is a creature that operates at the behest of Congress, as a creation of Congress, and every single dollar it has "printed" it has "printed" because Congress spent money it did not have.

In other words, Congress ran a deficit.

The Fed has its share of detractors and I'm among them.  But those who refuse to place responsibility where it belongs are fraud-running jackasses, and while I'm happy to try to educate folks those who refuse to learn and cling to that which is trivially disproved mathematically wind up on my "ignore" list.

The bottom line: It is Congress, which is elected by you, that has destroyed the purchasing power of the currency and enabled all of the fraud and force in our economy today.

Karl Denninger 

 

Trump has now publicly acknowledged that McCabe violated several federal laws, not the least of which is the Hatch Act.  Yet he now proposes to allow McCabe to retire next year, keeping his federal pension and benefits.

Not only that but Congress has that evidence now too -- but note that the House Judiciary Committee is not issuing a single word about the fact that such actions are violations of several federal laws.

What Trump should do is have Sessions immediately indict him - after firing McCabe for cause, which terminates his right to any sort of federal pension or benefit.  If McCabe wants to sue for his pension let him, because that will force into the public record all of the evidence on exactly what he did as he will have to defend the claim that his firing "for cause" wasn't actually for cause.

Good luck with that.

But Trump isn't going to do that.  Instead he's going to let McCabe walk off with your money America.  Money he will steal from you for the rest of his life after having taken actions that, the President has good reason to believe, were felony violations of the law and abuses of his office, effectively using the FBI as a political weapon in a Presidential contest.
