How Comey intervened to kill WikiLeaks' immunity deal
.
By John Solomon.
.
One of the more devastating intelligence leaks in American history — the unmasking of the CIA’s arsenal of cyber warfare weapons last year — has an untold prelude worthy of a spy novel.
.
Some of the characters are household names, thanks to the Russia scandal: James Comey, fired FBI director. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr. Julian Assange, grand master of WikiLeaks. And American attorney Adam Waldman, who has a Forrest Gump-like penchant for showing up in major cases of intrigue.
.
Each played a role in the early days of the Trump administration to try to get Assange to agree to “risk mitigation” — essentially, limiting some classified CIA information he might release in the future.
.
The effort resulted in the drafting of a limited immunity deal that might have temporarily freed the WikiLeaks founder from a London embassy where he has been exiled for years, according to interviews and a trove of internal DOJ documents turned over to Senate investigators. Read the draft immunity deal proffer that the Justice Department was considering for Assange here.
.
But an unexpected intervention by Comey — relayed through Warner — soured the negotiations, multiple sources tell me. Assange eventually unleashed a series of leaks that U.S. officials say damaged their cyber warfare capabilities for a long time to come.
.
This yarn begins in January 2017 when Assange’s legal team approached Waldman — known for his government connections — to see if the new Trump administration would negotiate with the WikiLeaks founder, holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy. They hoped Waldman, a former Clinton Justice Department official, might navigate the U.S. law enforcement bureaucracy and find the right people to engage.

My Thoughts:
It was reported today that Comey intervened in an immunity deal with Julian Assange, you know the guy who released all of the criminal E-mails from the Hillary campaign.
.
Assange was going to disclose who, what, when and where he received all of those E-mails. Could it be that Comey didn’t want the truth to be released concerning the way those E-mails were obtained?
.
Assange stated in multiple interviews that all of the E-mails he released didn’t come from anyone in Russia or any Russian government agency. Like I’ve always said, all of those E-mails were hacked from Hillary’s and the DNC’s server by an inside source within the DNC.
.
Remember Seth Rich, the man who was murdered on a street and it was ruled a robbery, but nothing was taken from him at all, his wallet, cell phone and other expensive items weren’t touched.
.
In my opinion, he was murdered because it was found out that it was him who removed all of those E-mails and gave them to Assange.
