#2 The last four years have seen the definition of "bombshell" re-written as "Made up sh*t only a true believe gives any credence to at all, and which newspaper 'editors' swallow whole with unabated gusto."

#3 Newspeak lexicon, for the uninitiated:

bombshell = bullshit
racist = race-neutral
"the walls are closing in" = our bullshit's been exposed & our coup attempts have collapsed
mostly peaceful = violent
violence = passivity
conspiracy theory = an actual conspiracy, news about which we aim to suppress and conceal from the American public

#5 The Gateway Pundit is good for hyperbole and click bait headlines as well.

#6 At the worst case I can envision Trump musing to an aide "I wonder if we could get that guy Assange to...". Is this a Plan, no it is the type of whimsical thought that we all have when considering a problem.

#9 The only person that anyone claims contacted anyone in Britain or anyone talking to Assange
about his source was Rohrabacker. R. admits making such contact but has claimed that Trump had not approved that contact. The most that Robinson or anyone can claim about this is that Rohrabacker said that Trump had given approval.
If that is so it only proves that Rohrabacker has lied to someone, since he has said the opposite, This is not evidence of Trump's approval.
Nevertheless, suppose Trump actually did approve of this. Would that not prove that he either had no knowledge of Assange's source, or suspected the source was internal in the DNC? Support of R's effort would only imply that Trump wanted to find and make public Assange's source.
This would imply that Trump believed that the source had nothing to do with his campaign. Trump's curiousity about that source would be neither illegal nor immoral. In fact, I am curious about Assange's source and would like him to divulge some information about it. Was it internal to the DNC? Was it from some foreign power? Answers to such questions could be made without revealing the name of any source.
