Julian Assange special: Do Wikileaks have the email that will put Hillary Clinton in prison? (E376)6 Aug, 2016
Afshin Rattansi goes underground with Julian Assange. We talk to the founder of Wikileaks about how the recent DNC leaks have no connection to Russia. Plus what are Hillary Clinton's connections to Islamic State, Saudi Arabia and Russia?
It must be odd to be Julian Assange. He is trapped in the Ecuadorean embassy which is far from the worst place to sit out official persecution—think Martin Luther in the Wittenberg Castle. Except that Assange is hooked into the global intelligence in ways that Luther couldn't even imagine. And because of his ability to view documents that are meant to be hidden, he is arguably the most informed human to have ever lived.
Not surprisingly, since his mission in life seems to be exposing liars, his focus tends to be on the Leisure / Predator classes—because that is where liars tend to congregate. From a Producer POV, for once I am not insulted by being ignored. After all, a passionate devotion to honesty is the top drawer of the Producer toolset. So GO Julian!
