Julian Assange, the exiled founder of WikiLeaks, is about to release more damning emails from Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton’s stint as secretary of state. The trove of information can be seen at WikiLeaks’ Hillary Clinton Email Archive. In an ITV interview, the WikiLeaks founder says more Clinton emails will be included in “upcoming leaks” on the site.

Already, Wikileaks has provided searchable database of 30,322 emails and attachments sent to and from Clinton’s private server between 2010 and 2014.
Assange, a Clinton critic, said she was receiving constant personal updates on his situation.
Is Google Responsible for Hillary Clinton’s Success? “It’s not going to happen”, Assange said during a television interview. “But the Federal Bureau of Investigation can push for concessions from a Clinton government”.
“The contents of those emails will confirm that Clinton dismissed the reluctance of Pentagon officials to overthrow Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, while they had also predicted the possible outcome of the war in Libya, that we are witnessing today”, he said while speaking via video link from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Assange claimed that Google “is intensely aligned with U.S. exceptionalism” and believes that Google itself is hoping for a Clinton victory in November.
The WikiLeaks founder, now in exile in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, has made no secret of his loathing for Clinton.
The former secretary of state pushed for the prosecution of Wikileaks, rather than the global criminals they exposed, and the organisation described her as a “war hawk”.
His attacks on Clinton may be dismissed as highly partial, but the email controversy continues to dog her.
Obviously aware of this, Clinton’s Republican challenger, Donald Trump, has ramped up his rhetoric regarding Clinton’s responsibility for the deadly assault on Benghazi and her failure to produce e-mails and to prove they were not sent on unsecure servers in violation of US law.

The U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention declared in February that “Julian Assange has been arbitrarily detained by Sweden and the United Kingdom”. The release would, the messaging indicated, prove that Secretary Clinton had, in fact, laid open US secrets to foreign interception by putting highly-classified Government reports onto a private server in violation of USA law, and that, as suspected, the server had been targeted and hacked by foreign intelligence services.
