“Maxwell Must Go Free!”

In 2016, Julian Assange sent this message to Donald Trump Jr:

"Hi Don if your father 'loses' we think it is much more interesting if he DOES NOT conceed [sic] and spends time CHALLENGING the media and other types of rigging that occurred-- as he has implied that he might do." pic.twitter.com/zBb6B81EvQ

"The discussion can be transformative as it exposes media corruption, primary corruption, PAC corruption, etc."

The correspondence was first reported in @TheAtlantic by @juliaioffe and later confirmed by Don Jr. https://t.co/CmtSHlHZ6G

This is not further evidence of criminal activity (there is enough of that already). But Assange has always had an agenda that wasn’t about “setting information free.” He just couched it in the naive notion that “they” are corrupt and when “we” expose them, everything will change.

We’ve heard that from Trump for four years now. Unfortunately for Assange, because now it’s impossible to slip a piece of paper between their positions. Well, that and Assange, like Trump, is just another toddler with a shotgun.
