Election Circus + Assange Revisited

The panel also examines the Assange case, including a persistent cloud of accusations describing Assange as a spy or a limited hangout working for the CIA; or an operative working for or against the Russians or Chinese, or as a tool for or against the Republicans or Democrats. All that is nonsense says guest Alex Suarez, who claims authoritative knowledge of Assange. The activist, says Suarez, was not a tool of the Russians, nor was he a shady player helping the Trump campaign. (Trump actually persecuted Assange and, to deny the tsunami of Russiagate accusations, acted even more vicious toward Russia than Obama), If anything, says Suarez, Assange despises the US party duopoly, is feared by both capitalist parties, and probably would have gladly voted for Jill Stein had he been a US citizen.
