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

It's bad. The country is in a dangerous place. What happens in the coming months may make what you've seen so far seem like nothing. You need to be strong. Don't give in to fear or despondency. Stay focused. You remain democracy's best hope in this world. Fight for it, America.
