Its crazy that people are just skipping over this. This is the bombshell that we thought the Guardian article was.
Am I in a world where people take Louise Mensch for anything other than an insane, uber privileged gobshite?
Which just further illustrates how nuanced discussion is not tolerated here, where a POC is banned for "defending racism" if he deviates slightly from the accepted views of the echo chamber.
Co-signed. Imagine believing yourself to be that informed and then finding out who you are being "informed" by.
You already tried playing the victim last time and got banned.
Try something else, friendo.
Yeah some vague notion that Manafort met with Assange is pretty damn minor when the dude is already found guilty of a array of crimes; it's the type of evidence you use to show a pattern and all that but on it's own it's nothing compared to Roger Stone literally directing someone to get the leak from Assange.
If the Manafort thing came along with "and they have a transcript of the meeting!" or some other indication that they have evidence of why he met him, it would be huge.. beyond that I don't really get the excitement. The Stone thing on the other hand..
I'd say this one's thread title could be easily updated to include both stories, as they are no doubt two parts of the same.
Yeah I mean I saw the derail but still. This story is exactly what I would want from the story in the OP.
This whole thing with Manafort is baffling to me.
Maybe I need to go review the timeline of events, because I was under the impression Roger Stone was the one in the crosshairs for contacting Assange?
Also, what's the significance of Manafort meeting with Assange in 2013 and 2015? Am I missing something? Was he after Clinton's emails that early or something?

Depends if he rats, which to his credit he doesn't seem to do be doing
Has this been confirmed by any other news outlet? There must be many intelligence services keeping track of Assange's visitors, surely other natsec reporters have sources that could corroborate The Guardian's claim?
I love seeing his name back in the news. Paul Manafort is a complete fucking monster, and he deserves to be exposed and shamed before he dies alone in a cold cell.
There's been a bit of an update on this, not sure if it warrants a new thread, but in any case the DOJ has reached out to Ecuador ...
I'm thinking if there was nothing to this, if the alleged meetings didn't actually happen, I feel like US officials wouldn't be traveling to Ecuador to interview embassy staff, plural.
