These People Are Just Plain Nuts


Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher said Monday that a "rendezvous" is being set up between him and President Donald Trump to relay information he received from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange about the hack of the Democratic National Committee last year.

Rohrabacher [...] claims Assange told him that Russia was not involved in the hacking.

Rohrabacher apparently doesn't yet understand that Mueller is going after the serious shit and the DNC hack is way, way down on the serious shit list.
Rohrabacher said after the meeting that he wanted to brief Trump on what Assange told him. Appearing on the Sean Hannity radio show Monday afternoon, the California congressman said that meeting was in the process of being set up.

"It is my understanding from other parties who are trying to arrange a rendezvous with myself and the President, it is being arranged for me to give him the firsthand information from (Assange)," Rohrabacher said.
How very cloak and dagger. WTF? A Congressman couldn't just call up the president and talk to him?
Earlier in the interview, Rohrabacher said evidence he saw painted the Democratic National Committee hack being an "inside job," a claim Rohrabacher has made before.

[...]

"If the information comes out, there will be an outrage among the American people that their time has been wasted," Rohrabacher said.
Or maybe they'll just be outraged that YOU'RE wasting their time.
"I'm trying to get this out in the public now where we can get this Julian Assange thing straightened out so that people know that it wasn't the Russians that hacked into the system, and that's not how this information was released," he said.
Jackass, Mueller is taking care of it. He's not going to stop the investigation because Dana Rohrabacher says Julian Assange told him who did the hacking. In fact, he's without a doubt got Rohrabacher on his list of people to investigate in the whole shebang.

Jesus Christ. What an idiot. And why, please why, would Julian Assange tell Dana Rohrabacher something he wouldn't tell anyone else?
The White House did not return a request for comment on Rohrabacher's comments. Rohrabacher hung up on a CNN reporter who inquired about his comments.
Nut jobs. Our nation is beset by nut jobs.









Oh, like THAT wouldn't be a problem for Trump! A pardon for information?! Why not just admit he's been rigging the game all along?  Rohrabacher better lay low.  He's caught up in that Junior - Magnitsky affair himself already.  Perhaps he's lately feeling the Mueller presence breathing down his neck and he's panicking.

Remember when the FBI warned Dana Rohrabacher that he was stupid enough that the Russians were trying to recruit him?

Marci Wheeler has some thoughts on the idiot's claims that "other parties" are "trying to arrange the rendezvous" with Trump:
Not only do these other parties not have names, but ultimately, this meeting “is being arranged” like a loveless marriage.

You’d almost think Rohrabacher recognizes the legal problems here.

One wonders whether those nameless non-agents do?

Harley Rouda, a Democrat running against Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) in 2018, has asked the FBI to probe the Republican congressman’s “political and financial ties to Russia” after Rohrabacher met with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Probably already being done. I'm sure the Mueller probe is doing it.
