WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Sunday said he thinks President Trump's adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner was "correct" if he attempted to set up backchannel communication with Russian leadership.
"Kushner correct to create channels with everyone," Assange tweeted Sunday, following reports that Kushner sought to set up a line of communication between the Trump transition team and Moscow.
"CIA has no authority over leadership and is financially motivated to increase conflict."

I am extremely conflicted over Julian Assange, and WikiLeaks. I believe they are doing good exposing the corruption and lies. However, I worry they have gone too far revealing things that should be secret. Not the dirty secrets of the alphabet agencies and their illegal collection processes. But publishing the cracking codes was too much. Every government had them, but making them available to the hacker world, was too much. Julian Assange and WikiLeaks walks a razors edge between doing good and doing evil.
ReplyDeleteHe is correct, that President Trump needs a “back-channel” line of communication. Not just with Russia, but with most of our allies and enemies. No true diplomacy is done in the open. It is always secret and back-channeled, until an agreement is reached. The deep states fear is President Trump will make honest headway improving relations with other countries.
