LONDON - A lawyer for Julian Assange told a London court on Friday that she was present when an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump offered to arrange a pardon for the WikiLeaks founder in return for information that would “benefit President Trump politically”.
She said Rohrabacher and an assistant offered to arrange a pardon for Assange in return for information about the hacking of Democratic emails before the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Assange’s legal team first said at hearings in February that Rohrabacher had conveyed a pardon offer to Assange. At the time, the White House called the assertion that Trump had tried to reach a deal with Assange “a complete fabrication and a total lie”.Rohrabacher said he had never spoken with the president about Assange, denied being sent on Trump’s behalf and said he was acting on his own when he offered to ask Trump for a pardon for Assange.
The 2016 election leaks are not directly a part of the U.S. criminal case against Assange, which covers secret military and diplomatic documents published by WikiLeaks several years earlier.

Mary Trump: ‘Nobody tells as many lies on purpose’ as President Trump“What he lies about is dangerous,” Mary Trump says of Pres. Trump. “I really do hope that the debates do not become yet another forum for Donald to tell his lies and spin facts to favor him.” Trump will, as usual, come to the debates unprepared and try to wing his endless idiotic spin. It's old and worn out and won't convince any undecided voters. His 'decided' lemming voters wont be swayed by anything negative about him. They are a lost cause I just hope Donna Brasille doesn't slip Biden the questions beforehand. :) He's going to lie 'bigly' and his base will lap it up like dogs drinking antifreeze. He repeats his lies over and over until the truth is hardly discernable and everything is in confused chaos. It's pretty hard to watch. All I can do is vote for Biden.

Trump ally Lindsey Graham thinks the President should release tax returnsAsked if President Trump should release his tax returns, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told CNN, 'Yeah, I think everybody should. I've said that for a long time.' Trump can’t do his borrowing from US banks, so he is in debt to foreign entities such as Deutsch Bank and other shady overseas sources (likely oligarchs). He is also obsessive about concealing everything he can about his finances, refusing to show his tax returns. Hmm... Time to safe own skin, senate election too close to call. Trump is a liability. Calls to mind a line Wilfred Brimley in Absence of Malice, 'So what were planning on doing after government service, Mr. Graham?'
