Donald Trump 'offered Julian Assange a pardon if he denied Russia link to hack' https://t.co/vIaodyZMVk

My guess is that Dana Rohrabacher could walk into court tomorrow, put his hand on a Bible, and say that Russia paid Assange, Trump knew it, and Trump offered Assange a pardon, and the average Trumper would say: "That's how you make America great."

WH's Grisham says report Rohrabacher floated Assange a pardon is a "fabrication." But Charles Johnson, who set up R's meeting with Assange, told me 2 years ago that's exactly what was discussed: a pardon for evidence Russians weren't source of DNC emails. https://t.co/FtShwmwJ4W
