Assange: Some leaks may have been Russian
Source: The Hill
BY JOE UCHILL - 12/15/16 05:25 PM EST
On Sean Hannitys radio show, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said that hacked Democratic documents sent to reporters at Gawker and The Hill may have come from Russia. But, he said, he is confident the emails he received did not come from the same source.
The Hill and other outlets received documents from a hacker or hackers calling itself Guccifer 2.0. Guccifer 2.0 also posted separate documents on its own site. Assange denied knowing Guccifer 2.0 on Hannity's show Thursday.
Our source is not the Russian government, said Assange, later claiming WikiLeaks did not receive its material from any state actor, Russia or otherwise.
While the intelligence community agrees that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Democratic National Campaign Committee, there is dissent over whether the Russians did so with an eye to promoting President-elect Donald Trump or just generally wanting to sow chaos.

(5,103 posts)the only solution is a re-vote. No machines or other Kobach games, just ink a vote like we do in California.
Not the ballot measures, just President, house and senate.
This government cannot be handpicked by foreign governments or a treasonous congress.
Let the truth out and put ASSange down!
And I also want all electronic voting machines to get the full Fiorello La Guardia!
