Dang, DNC is in all kinds of trouble. New WikiLeaks DNC email dump exposes the social security number of billionaire Tom Steyer. He's not going to be happy.
This isn’t about Hillary or Bernie. This isn’t even about whether the DNC violated its own rules with regards to neutrality this primary season. This is about standing up for core Democratic, progressive and American values by saying it should never be acceptable for a Democratic party official to suggest attacking a fellow Democrat—or anyone else—for their religious beliefs or lack thereof.
Thank you Wikileaks - now we know that: Annually the DNC spends millions on election integrity/voter rights - MORE$$$ than all the election rights-integrity groups spend on elections COMBINED - After 20 years the DNC has VIRTUALLY nothing to show for how they have spent our money for more honest elections/ensuring voter rights.......... We are actually much worse off after 20 Years of their efforts............ Pathetic..
So I was dusting the house and as is the norm when doing mindless tasks I was also engaging in idle speculation.
One of the things I was thinking about was all the questions I see repeatedly asking, "Why the hell won't Assange release the damn info already!".
And a possible answer hit me.
Could he be waiting for the last interviewee to have a chance to perjure themselves, Abedin in particular?
Are there any other interviews still to be conducted?
Many readers are already aware of the the new internet leak (aka info dump) from Wikileaks. This revelation is even more weighty than Edward Snowden's whistleblowing on NSA spying--no mean feat. The information revealed is sourced from Mossack-Fonseca, a single law firm based in one country, Panama--hence the title of this breaking story. Originally the leak was reported to have contained about 1+ terabytes of information.

Yesterday Wikileaks published documentation of NSA spying on German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier along with a list of 20 targets in the German Foreign Ministry.
One of the documents is an NSA intercept of Steinmeier's communications after Steinmeier met his US counterpart, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
According to the intercept, Steinmeier "seemed relieved that he had not received any definitive response from the U.S. Secretary of State regarding press reports of CIA flights through Germany to secret prisons in eastern Europe allegedly used for interrogating terrorism suspects."
The visit occurred in the context of an escalating and ongoing scandal in Europe over clandestine "rendition flights" conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) using the airspace and airport facilities of cooperating European countries, in which it was alleged by leading news publications that European citizens and residents had been abducted outside of any legal process and taken to secret "black site" prisons, where they could be tortured with impunity. After the scandal emerged, European governments defied their publics, continuing to cooperate with the United States while denying all knowledge of rendition flights. These denials relied heavily on the insistence of European governments that they had received confidential "diplomatic assurances" from the United States that nothing illegal was taking place. It was subsequently shown in numerous court proceedings and commissions of inquiry that the activity was illegal.
