Noting the pressure U.S. officials exerted on their British counterparts, Lacovara said, DOJ evidently retains considerable interest in the information that he can supply. He knows where the hacked DNC emails came from, and he knows when and how the Trump campaign learned about this treasure trove of political dirt. He also knows whether the Trump campaign coordinated the timing of the leaks for political advantage. He is also likely to know whether anyone from the Trump campaign actively solicited additional hacking.

(757 posts)any of this information. The Wikileaks message has to be massaged, to blame Obama and Hillary. (they're working on it)
Right now, Dumpo says he "doan know nutting about an Asange. It that a sausage?" he asks.
But if indeed Asausnge is shipped over here, in a year, at the height of the Prez. campaign, that won't be too good for him.
Asange has to be buried somehow, forgotten if he can't be used anymore.

It'd be for the prosecution of Assange, seems like.
