Hacked Emails Prove Hillary ARMED JIHADISTS In Syria – Including ISIS

[Andrew McCarthy covered this story and added a great deal to it at National Review.]

Fresh off of throwing the Democratic National Convention into turmoil after proving that party officials had conspired to sabotage Bernie Sanders’ campaign, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced that he has some even more damaging material in his trove of hacked emails — this time involving Hillary Clinton pushing to arm jihadists in Syria, including ISIS.

As Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft notes, in her testimony in January 2013 during the congressional Benghazi hearings, Clinton denied under oath having any knowledge of the weapons trade program with Syrian rebels that took place a year before the Benghazi attack. Now Assange says that in the collection of hacked emails his group has procured, 17,000 are “about Libya alone,” and among them is proof that Clinton “pushed” for weapons to be sent to “jihadists within Syria, including ISIS.”

“So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates,” Assange told Democracy Now Tuesday. “So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails.There’s more than 1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s collection, that we have released, just about Libya alone.”

Proof that the Democratic presidential nominee helped arm ISIS? Not exactly the kind of “experience” the Clinton campaign has been touting. And, of course, this is just more evidence that Clinton’s 2013 Benghazi testimony was riddled with lies.

During that testimony, Clinton told Sen. Rand Paul that she didn’t have “any information” on any weapons transfer program with insurgent groups in Turkey or elsewhere run out of Libya. Here’s the transcript (video below):

Paul: My question is, is the US involved in any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?

Clinton: To Turkey? I’ll have to take that question for the record. That’s, nobody’s ever raised that with me.

Paul: It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that they may have weapons. And what I’d like to know is, that annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries? Any countries, Turkey included?

Clinton: Well, Senator you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex. And, I will see what information was available.

Paul: You’re saying you don’t know?

Clinton: I do not know. I don’t have any information on that.

Last month, Assange told ITV last month that the information his group had obtained on Clinton could “proceed to an indictment.” While he says he has no intention of influencing the election in Donald Trump’s favor, Assange has made clear that he believes Clinton is a particularly dishonest politician.

“We do see her as a bit of a problem for freedom of the press more generally,” he told ITV. “She has a long history of being a liberal war hawk, and we presume she is going to proceed.”

The Clinton campaign’s attempt to blame Russia for the leaked DNC emails has also clearly irritated Assange, who blasted the campaign for it on NBC News. “In order to divert attention from proof that we published that the Sanders campaign was subverted within the DNC,” he said, “the Clinton campaign tries to take attention away from a very serious domestic allegation about election interference and try and bring in foreign policy.”
