asked Ecuador to stop WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, from publishing leaked emails that could disrupt peace negotiations with a guerrilla group in Colombia.

#7  According to An Nahar, the US denies it urged Ecuador to block Mr. Assange's internet access.

#6  Since Ecuador uses $USD for it's currency, all it probably took was a threat to cut off transfer of $1 Sacagawea coins. Seriously, it's all they use to make change in Quito.

#5  I remember when it was right to interfere with Egypt's and Israel's election, and Brexit.

#3  I wonder how much U.S. Taxpayer money he promised in order to shut Assange up? Iran was $400M plus. I'm betting at least $1B.

He didn't figure on this triggering the failsafe distribution of that key. Dumbass.

#2  Yeah, interfering with U.S. elections, or Hillary's coronation, or something.

I wonder if Hil directed Jawn, or if he figgered it out for hisself?
