‘Impeach him again!’ Assange sets off bombshells with Trump pardon claim
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claims President Donald Trump dangled a pardon through a Republican lawmaker if he agreed to cover up Russia’s involvement in 2016 election hacking.
Assange’s lawyer Edward Fitzgerald told a London court Wednesday that former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher had passed along the offer in exchange for testimony that Russia had nothing to do with DNC leaks — and the allegation shocked legal experts and other social media users.
This sounds like abuse of power and treasonous activity, impeach him again. https://t.co/iMhCbA3wMI

Huge if true, but interesting because it doesn’t seem like Assange would need incentivizing to say this–he’s long claimed (falsely, according to the US IC) that Russia was not WikiLeaks’ source for the hacked documents. https://t.co/u2lx9sVLMn

Lawyer’s don’t usually make claims in court they can’t prove. Will be interesting to see if there is proof of these serious allegations Rohrabacher was the WH’s messenger, offering a pardon in exchange for silence on Russia’s hack of our election. https://t.co/le4O45Q1SM

Weren’t we told Rohrabacher was on Putin’s payroll via tape last year…
“Mr Rohrabacher going to see Mr Assange and saying, on instructions from the president, he was offering a pardon or some other way out, if Mr Assange… said Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.”

This Trump/Assange/Rohrabachar thing is amazing, and not least because if the House investigates then Kevin McCarthy would be put in the position of defending Rohrabacher. McCarthy was caught on tape in 2016 saying he thought Rohrabacher was on Putin’s payroll.

If Rohrabacher is coming to see you it's like the kiss of death … the man has been in Russia's pocket for soooo long they should be offering him a Dacha on the Volga https://t.co/BbYZDh5W91

GOP ripped for refusing to remove Trump from office: ‘Folly of that failure becomes clearer by the day’
Republicans seeking to keep control of the United States Senate were harshly criticized by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for failing to remove President Donald Trump from office during impeachment.
"For four years now, as both a candidate and president, Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked America’s voting system, falsely claiming voter fraud any time it suited his needs. In a new low, last week he threatened the federal funding of two states over their reasonable moves to facilitate mail-in voting," the newspaper noted in an editorial published online on Memorial Day. "What does it say that the head of the world’s leading democracy is so intent on undermining that democracy?"
On Monday, during his observance of Memorial Day, former Vice President Joe Biden donned a face mask in accordance with CDC guidelines — a contrast with President Donald Trump, who has frequently refused to wear a mask even in some places that require them.
But Fox News senior analyst Brit Hume went out of his way to mock how Biden looked wearing it.
This might help explain why Trump doesn’t like to wear a mask in public. Biden today. pic.twitter.com/9l1gw1ljBE
