I really believe this is why DWS "stepped down." More embarrassing info will come out.

What we have to do is present a united front and show the Russians (and the rest of the country) that we're family. Like all families, we fight, we argue, we mess up and hurt one another. But at the end of the day, we're still family and we're going to stick together and support one another from this point on.

I have no doubt there is another bombshell to drop. We still have to walk and chew gum at the same time. Clean house, but keep our eyes on the ultimate goal.

It is a very sad day in the history of American politics when a foreign nation actually gets to exert influence over a Presidential election.

I think he was referring to this article:
http://yournewswire.com/julian-assange-my-next-leak-will-ensure-hillarys-arrest/

The article is incredibly misleading. It's referring to an interview with Assange from Jun 12, talking about Hillary's private email server. Nothing to do with the DNC leak. It's from before Comey recommended no charges.

so I looked it up. He said Assange tweeted that "the next leak will ensure Hillary Clinton's arrest."

I looked it up and I assume he was talking about this article:
http://yournewswire.com/julian-assange-my-next-leak-will-ensure-hillarys-arrest/

But if you click on the link in the first sentence, where it says, "During a recent interview with ITV," it takes you to an interview with Assange from Jun 12, in which he was discussing Hillary's private emails from before the FBI recommended no charges. He wasn't even referring to the DNC leak.

and they probably know that there may be this type of trap. But Trump will leak the information anyway. I hope the trap is juicy enough to trap Trump. Does Trump have to get a security clearance now? Can he actually get one?
