Controversy erupted today with a new posting of hacked files
that seem to show that Donald Trump is secretly working for Hillary Clinton.
The most recent WikiLeaks release includes thousands of emails, including many that
Mrs Clinton may have previously deleted from the private server she used while
Secretary of State. Several seem to show that she promised Trump
appointment to the Supreme Court if he won the GOP’s presidential nomination
and then lost to her in the general election.
Technical experts say that because of Mrs. Clinton’s
acknowledged attempt to delete so-called personal emails from the private
server, there may be no way to tell which messages may be genuine or forged.
Mr Trump dismissed the idea that he may have done anything out
of the ordinary or improper. “I’ve been
telling people the system is rigged for more than a year,” he said. "Believe me," he continued,
"I will be a really great Chief Justice. Getting her to agree to the
deal took me months of negotiation.
Bottom line: I won."
Mrs Clinton said that she has no way of knowing if the new
emails are genuine. “I don’t have the
originals,” she said, “There is no way I can compare them.” She went on to say that, genuine or not, they
should be kept confidential. "Those are obviously private
communications," she said, "Whoever hacked my server must really hate
women."
Julian Assange, Editor-in-Chief of WikiLeaks, refused to comment
except to say that WikiLeaks will release more hacked Trump-Clinton documents
in October. “I want it to be a
surprise,” he said.
Neither
Mr Trump nor Mrs Clinton would comment on whether their deal includes
provisions for getting him confirmed by the Senate, should she actually win the
election and nominate him.
This
story is an example of telling the truth by manufacturing facts. It’s not a “short circuit,” it’s a lie.
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
