The bizarre Sean Hannity-WikiLeaks bromance has now only grown more loving.
On Thursday afternoon, Hannity, the Fox News host and informal Trump adviser, once again interviewed WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange—this time on Hannity’s nationally syndicated radio show. Hannity gave Assange a large platform to deny that the source of the DNC and John Podesta emails was the Russian government, and to also join Hannity in some fairly typical bashing of Hillary Clinton and the “liberal” mainstream media.
Hannity, who could barely contain his excitement to have Assange on the program, had teased the interview on Twitter earlier in the day as “his first interview in the states since the election.”
“You’ve done us a favor,” Hannity gushed on-air. Thanks to Assange and WikiLeaks’s work, Hannity said, “we can now fix the problem” of our gaps in U.S. cybersecurity. (The DNC and Podesta emails were a wake-up call, in a sense.) Assange also “exposed the corruption in our government” for all to see.
“I have so many questions for you,” Hannity said, before reminding his audience of WikiLeaks’s “perfect” record: “You have not been proven wrong, not one single time,” he reiterated.

It seems clear that Assange & Wikileaks has done the entire world a favor by pointing out the rats den of corruption that is the DNC. It also seems clear that Mr. Hannity is a duplicitous windbag. Bill and Hillary are absolutely criminals whether it be from the CIA drug running in Arkansas, handing China sensative American technolgy, the theft of aid money in Haiti through the Clinton Foundation, screwing of Bernie Sanders…there is plenty to hate…but Hannity does not rank much better in terms of character. Sorry to see Assange get his shoes soiled stepping on Hannity territory. I wonder how much this has to do with the corruption of the mainstream media reducing options for Assange to get the word out? Not sure.
I am absolutely stunned by the SR characterization of the wikileaks statement regarding the source of the DNC hacks (not Russia, likely a Bernie supporter). This is vile?
I am very worried that the left has lost its sense of reality. I never would have guessed that the bubble of the left would be worse that the reality bubble of the supporters of GWB.
the angle ? The ‘trend that will affect your future’ is the tension between economic supranational integration for the benefit of the few versus locally owned national oriented home grown means of subsistence. God Bless PEOTUS.

The evidence is that Putin used Assange and Wikileaks to whom he funneled the hacked emails. Assange has a long standing dislike of Hillary Clinton, and was happy to cooperate. The only piece of the puzzle that is unclear to me is whether he was a “useful idiot” and didn’t know the true source of the hacks was the new version of the KGB, the FSB/SVR and was just glad to stick it to Clinton, or whether he knew and was complicit.
