{UAH} WikiLeaks Has Denied Russia Was Source for DNC Leaks 5 TIMES — Media Still Refuses to Report It
That Russian hackers somehow compromised the U.S. presidential elections to install Donald Trump so fits the political establishment's preferred narrative, any information to the contrary — even from the mouths of people with direct knowledge — has been brutally criticized, and even labeled "fake."
While certain unnamed officials in the CIA — and the once-illustrious Washington Post and New York Times — might implore Americans to believe shady Russian government actors hacked into the email systems of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, they have yet to offer a shred of evidence to back this claim.
On December 9, the Post published a flagrantly propagandic 'report' — so devoid of verifiable information, it's a wonder any editors approved its publication — titled "Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House," which claimed CIA and U.S. Intelligence officials had reached a consensus about Russians hacking the election.
That story, quickly parroted by the Times, fell apart under cursory scrutiny, particularly as its otherwise vehement tone contradicted itself, stating:
"The CIA presentation to senators about Russia's intentions fell short of a formal U.S. assessment produced by all 17 intelligence agencies. A senior U.S. official said there were minor disagreements among intelligence officials about the agency's assessment, in part because some questions remain unanswered."
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has repeatedly denounced vapid claims the Russians hacked Democrat systems and forked over the documents for publication. Breaking with the publishing outlet's strict standards of not divulging any identifying details about sources, Assange says the emails were not hacked by outside agents — rather an inside source with access leaked the information to Wikileaks.
Nevertheless, corporate presstitutes continue hyperbolically echoing the establishment's Red Scare propaganda, ignoring entirely the person most familiar with the leaks — the person who founded and runs Wikileaks — has categorically denied the source has any connection to Russia.
Assange's claims are backed by close associate and former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray, who knows the source and told the Daily Mail, "Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians. The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks."
Murray told the Guardian the CIA's claims are pure "bullshit," and, flatly, "They are absolutely making it up."
