Julian Assange of WikiLeaks fame has played an unexpected (and some say disturbing) role in the 2016 presidential election cycle. Julian Assange has been holed up at London’s Ecuadorian Embassy for months as a political asylum seeker in order to avoid facing rape charges that have been levied against him in Sweden, and the extradition to the United States that would almost certainly follow.
Despite remaining locked up in the London’s Ecuadorian Embassy, WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange has waged war on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, vowing to “expose” the Democratic nominee and dumping wave after wave of illegally-obtained private emails using WikiLeaks on Twitter. Those emails have contained explosive revelations, both about the Clintons and their inner circle, the DNC and the U.S. election process. One such bombshell was a claim that U.S. presidents are “selected not elected,” along with communications indicating that Hillary had been groomed for her position well before securing the Democratic nomination, and that Barack Obama had received similar treatment from President George W. Bush prior to being elected.
With the U.S. election just days away, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have doubled-down on their efforts to target former Secretary of State Clinton’s campaign efforts. As RT reports, a recent interview between Julian Assange and John Pilger is slated to be released in its entirety this weekend. An excerpt of the interview was released as a teaser, and WikiLeaks founder Assange makes some damning accusations against Hillary Clinton.
Julian Assange further insists in the interview that despite the support of WikiLeaks, Donald Trump won’t win the U.S. presidency.
In his sit down, Julian Assange blatantly attacks Hillary Clinton’s transparency when it comes to ISIS and the amount of support the radical Islamic terrorist organization is getting from the U.S.’s allies in the Middle East. Many of whom are also supporting Hillary Clinton for POTUS.
Citing a 2014 email exchange published by WikiLeaks just a month ago, Hillary Clinton allegedly told John Podesta to advise President Obama to put “pressure” on Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Both U.S. allies that Clinton went on to say were “providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL [Islamic State, IS, ISIS] and other radical Sunni groups.”
Julian also said he has info that would have Hillary arrested before election. Praying he’s wrong & @realDonaldTrump WINS!

According to WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange, this exchange between Clinton and Podesta could be “the most significant email” that WikiLeaks has dumped regarding Clinton in the last year.
Julian Assange goes on to say, in his interview with Pilger, that the U.S. government’s official stance on Saudi Arabia and ISIS is that there has been no official Saudi support for the terrorist group. The U.S. government has never denied that some Saudi money has made its way into the hands of ISIS terrorists, adds Assange. However, the official line has always been that it was isolated incidents of princes going “rogue.”
According to Julian Assange of WikiLeaks, this exchange between Clinton and Podesta is the smoking gun that proves that the official story has been a carefully constructed smokescreen.
“But that email says that it is the government of Saudi Arabia, and the government of Qatar that have been funding ISIS.”
Something else that WikiLeaks has worked diligently to expose is the allegedly unethical relationship between Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and Middle Eastern donors. During the Pilger interview, that connection is addressed, as well as the WikiLeaks discovery (via the recently released email) that Saudi Arabia has allegedly been funding ISIS in a direct manner. And that the U.S. government knows and has known for years.
The gist? Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation reportedly received a ton of money from Saudi Arabian, Qatari, Bahrainian, and Moroccan donors while she was the acting Secretary of State. During that same period of time, the State Department approved “massive” arms sales to those Middle Eastern nations. Saudi Arabia most of all.
According to WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange, Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State during the largest ever arms deal in the history of the world. The total? Over $80 billion. Approved by the U.S. State Department, with Hillary at the Helm. Julian Assange further claims that WikiLeaks has the emails to back up these claims, many of which have been released.
“During her tenure, the total arms exports from the U.S. doubled in dollar value.”
So, what happened next? After Hillary Clinton approved a record-breaking Saudi Arabian arms sale as Secretary of State? The entire face of the Middle East changed forever when ISIS erupted in the region overnight. During his interview with WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange, John Pilger asked if ISIS was created with money from the pockets of the same donors who are “giving money to the Clinton Foundation?”
Julian Assange’s response? A simple and resounding “Yes.”

During their interview, Pilger and Julian Assange discussed the likelihood of a Donald Trump victory on Election Day, particularly given the “revelations” that WikiLeaks has brought to light over the last year. And in an increasingly persistent manner over the last few weeks.
Julian Assange reportedly went on to dismiss the likelihood of a Donald Trump victory. To be fair, Donald Trump has consistently lagged behind Hillary Clinton in most polls since the debates and his so-called “pu**ygate” scandal. Trump has also remained behind in the electoral college .
Even so, according to WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange, it’s not the polls that are going to keep Donald Trump out of the White House. While WikiLeaks and Julian Assange have been widely accused of trying to sway the election in Trump’s favor, Assange simply doesn’t seem to think that such a thing is possible.

The reason? Donald Turmp doesn’t have the support of “the establishment.”
“My analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump does not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment. Banks, intelligence, arms companies, foreign money, etc. are all united behind Hillary Clinton. And the media as well. Media owners, and the journalists themselves.”
What do you think? Do you trust the legitimacy of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange? Do you believe that Hillary Clinton has unethical financial ties to the same people that “built” ISIS? Do you think that Donald Trump has a chance of pulling off a November 8 victory? Or is WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange correct that presidents are “selected not elected,” and, as such, Hillary already has it in the bag?
