Putin's congressman has been busy this week.
Seems like he want's to make a deal, too.

Dana's secret back channel
Remember when Kevin "loose lips" McCarthy said back in 2016 that he thought the only two people who were in the employ of the Russian Government were Donald Trump and Dana Rohrabacher? And when Dana met with Julian Assange and then told the press he was coming back to the state to meet personally with Donald Trump and provide proof that the Russians didn't interfere in the election?
Yeah. Well, he got to the Chief of Staff:
A U.S. congressman contacted the White House this week trying to broker a deal that would end WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s U.S. legal troubles in exchange for what he described as evidence that Russia wasn’t the source of hacked emails published by the antisecrecy website during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The proposal made by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R., Calif.), in a phone call Wednesday with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, was apparently aimed at resolving the probe of WikiLeaks prompted by Mr. Assange’s publication of secret U.S. government documents in 2010 through a pardon or other act of clemency from President Donald Trump.
The possible “deal”—a term used by Mr. Rohrabacher during the Wednesday phone call—would involve a pardon of Mr. Assange or “something like that,” Mr. Rohrabacher said. In exchange, Mr. Assange would probably present a computer drive or other data-storage device that Mr. Rohrabacher said would exonerate Russia in the long-running controversy about who was the source of hacked and stolen material aimed at embarrassing the Democratic Party during the 2016 election.
