In a John Pilger Special, to be exclusively broadcast by RT on Saturday courtesy of Dartmouth Films, whistleblower Julian Assange
categorically denied that the troves of US Democratic Party and Clinton work and staff emails released this year have come from the Russian government.
“The Clinton camp has been able to
project a neo-McCarthyist hysteria that Russia is responsible for everything. Hillary Clinton has
stated multiple times, falsely, that 17 US intelligence agencies had assessed that Russia was the source of our publications.
That’s false – we can say that the Russian government is not the source,” Assange told the veteran Australian broadcaster as part of a 25-minute John Pilger Special, courtesy of Dartmouth Films.
Over the past nine months, WikiLeaks uploaded over 30,000 emails from Hillary
Clinton’s private email server, while she was Secretary of State. This was followed by nearly 20,000 emails sent to and by members of the US Democratic National Committee, exposing the party leadership’s dismissive attitude to Bernie Sanders, and his outsider primaries campaign.
Finally, last month, WikiLeaks posted over 50,000 emails connected to John Podesta, Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, and a close associate of the current presidential frontrunner.
The Homeland Security Department and Office of the Director of National Intelligence posted a joint statement in October,
claiming they were “confident” that the Russian government “directed” this year’s leaks.
