Wow: Spanish prosecutors allege that the CIA used Trump mega-donor Sheldon Adelson's company as a go-between to receive info (read: surveillance) from a Spanish company it had enlisted to spy on Wikileaks' founder Julian Assange in the Ecuadorean embassy: nytimes.com/2019/12/01/wor…
This means that during the Russiagate era of endless MSNBC/Schiff-fueled speculation that Wikileaks had a "go-between" w/ Trump (Stone? Corsi? Credico?), they looked the wrong way: the actual go-between was a Trump mega-donor's company helping to spy on Wikileaks for Trump's CIA.
Even a Roger Stone trial underscoring that Stone had no backchannel w/ Wikileaks was reported the opposite away. Here's @NBCNews calling Stone the Trump campaign's "Wikileaks connection." In reality, Trump's "connection" was to WL his CIA's spying on it. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
@NBCNews Words can't describe how derelict & shameful US media coverage of Assange/Wikileaks has been: Devoting endless hours to a conspiracy theory that Assange-Trump campaign secretly conspired, while simultaneously cheering on the Trump admin's war on Assange-Wikileaks & press freedom.
@NBCNews While Trump's CIA was spying on Julian Assange in Ecuador's embassy, here's MSNBC's Chris Hayes describing "the smoking selfie" of Randy Credico outside that embassy. (Credico, per the MSNBC conspiracy theory, was an intermediary between Wikileaks & Roger Stone/Trump campaign).
