My latest: Media Silence on #Assange Aids #Trump

Testimony given in the last week of the Assange hearing was particularly damning for the White House, as evidence was aired that connected the Administration directly to the efforts to prosecute Assange.

consortiumnews.com/2020/10/31/ele…
During the hearing, journalist Cassandra Fairbanks testified that, “President Donald Trump had personally ordered Julian Assange’s arrest from the Ecuadorian embassy."

consortiumnews.com/2020/09/21/ass…
Jennifer Robinson (@suigenerisjen) a lawyer for Assange, also testified that Trump indirectly offered Assange a pardon in August 2017 if the journalist would reveal the source of WikiLeaks’ 2016 DNC and Podesta email publications to disprove #Russiagate.

Two new documentaries on the Jeffery #Epstein affair delve into lurid details and give voice to his victims, but both scratch the surface of the political and intelligence dimensions of the scandal.
