“That is correct to say that”.
‘If we published after, you can just imagine how outraged the Democratic voting population would have been’.
Intelligence officials are warning that the costs of publicly blaming Russia could “far outweigh the benefits, if there would be any benefits”, and that United States revenge hacks, which may already be ongoing, risk provoking Russian hacks on actual important infrastructure. This week both Clinton and Donald Trump will receive their first intelligence briefings as presidential nominees.
“The difficulty that WikiLeaks has, of course, is that we can’t go around speculating on who our sources are”.
Assange also said more material is forthcoming that is “extremely interesting”.
“But as a source protection organization, that many sources from across the world of many different types rely on to protect their identity, their rights, to communicate the truth to the public. And that’s all we’re talking about here, communicating the truth”.
Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned abruptly after the emails showed top committee officials appearing to favor Clinton over her Democratic competitor Bernie Sanders.
“What I can say categorically is that we have published proof that the election campaign of Bernie Sanders was sabotaged in a corrupt manner”, he also said. “We have not connected those e-Mails to a hack of the DNC and no one else has connected them”.
Assange, who has spoken out against Clinton’s policy decisions in the past and has made it clear he does not want her to be the next president of the United States, told Cooper on CNN that Wikileaks has more documents up its sleeve.

“We brought down the head of the DNC”, Assange said when asked if his group was being used by Russian Federation to manipulate the election.
“There are claims that in the metadata after someone has done a document to PDF conversion and in some cases, the documents – the language of the computer that was used for that conversion, was Russian”, Assange told Afshin Rattansi, the host of RT’s Going Underground.

“The FBI is going to go, “We have accumulated a lot of material about Hillary Clinton – we could proceed to an indictment”.
