It's
strange to see Fox News interview Wikleaks' Julian Assange without a
call for his murder.

Promises "Most Interesting And Serious" Hillary Emails Are
Yet To Come

August, 2016
A
lot of speculation continues to swirl around exactly what remaining
information Wikileaks has related to Hillary Clinton and when it will
be revealed. Earlier in the week we noted (see "WikiLeaks'
Assange Warns Clinton Campaign: More "Unexpected",
Game-Changing Emails Loom")
Assange's comments that Wikileaks is in the process of reviewing
"thousands of pages of materials" related to Clinton which
he described at "significant."
“We have a lot of material, thousands of pages of material. There's a variety of different types of documents and different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles that are, you know, quite interesting, some even entertaining.”
Yesterday, in an interview on Fox and Friends, Assange went a little further disclosing his belief that the information currently under review is the "most interesting and serious" yet.
“Well, I think the most interesting and serious [disclosures] relate to upcoming publications we have."
When
asked whether WikiLeaks has information on the Republican campaign he
noted that while they do have information its difficult to find
anything more controversial on Trump than what comes out of his
"mouth every second day."
"The problem with the Trump campaign is it's actually hard for us to publish much more controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth every second day."
These are the full interviews

State Dept to reveal Clinton's meetings with possible donors only
after election
RT,

August, 2016
The
yet unreleased detailed schedules of the US former Secretary of State
and now Democratic presidential nominee might be made public only in
late December, while they might be of interest now, AP who have been
seeking the calendars for years, reported.
The
department expects to release the remaining some 2,700 pages of
Hillary Clinton's schedules around December 30, its lawyers told AP
in a phone conference this week. The news agency has "formally
asked" the State Department to speed up the process so that the
documents might be analyzed and published by October 15, some three
weeks before the elections.
Calling
the estimated date of release "unacceptable," Donald
Trump's spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement that "voters
deserve to know the truth before they cast their ballots."

15k new Hillary emails discovered as evidence of Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scheme grows
Earlier
this week, the Associated Press (AP) has revealed that more than half
of all Clinton's meetings with the people outside the government,
when she was secretary of state, were with donors to her private
foundation.
"At
least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone
conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State
Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to
its international programs, according to a review of State Department
calendars released so far to The Associated Press," the
investigating journalists reported, saying that "it's an
extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if
elected president."
In
total, the Clinton Foundation received as much as $156 million from
those 85 donors, who contributed financially either personally or
through companies or groups, according to AP. At least 20 of those
donors gave more than $1 million each, the report added.
Some
of Clinton's emails that she failed to turn over to the US
government, but were released after a Freedom of Information Act
request, suggest the charitable foundation might have possibly
rewarded its donors with special access and influence inside the
State Department. The social media reacted with a #PayToPlay hashtag,
with Twitter users angered by the Democratic candidate's alleged
"corruption."

God Bless the Freedom of Information Act!

Although
such meetings do not appear to violate legal agreements signed by
both former president Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton ahead of her
four-year tenure as secretary of state, "the frequency of the
overlaps shows the intermingling of access and donations, and fuels
perceptions that giving the foundation money was a price of admission
for face time with Clinton," AP said.
AP
has been seeking the former secretary of state's official schedule
for a long while, but the State Department has delayed the process.
The AP sued the State Department last year in federal court to obtain
the records.

So
far, about half of Clinton's minute-by-minute schedules have been
released, after the documents are reviewed and censored page-by-page
to remove personal details of her schedule, such as private phone
numbers or email addresses. In some cases, the department has also
"censored names of people who met privately with Clinton or the
subjects they discussed," according to AP.
The
AP report has been criticized by the Clinton campaign, who called it
flawed and "outrageous" for its calculations not including
meetings with foreign diplomats or US government officials. The news
agency argued it focused its analysis "on people with private
interests," as such meetings and calls were outside Clinton's
official duties yet "she chose to include [them] in her busy
schedule."

The
detailed analysis of apparent relation of the money flow into the
Clinton family foundation to the then secretary of state decision
making policies is so "significant" it even got the
attention of the American mainstream media, who usually turn a blind
eye on "anything that Hillary Clinton has done in relation to
the Clinton foundation," US media analyst Lionel told RT.
"They
have shown no interest in anything until now... It seems the American
mainstream media have been acting almost as agents, apparatchiks,
campaign contributors, associates of the Clinton campaign," he
said, adding: "Every single bit, every news story, every
accusation, anything that might be the slightest bit embarrassing,
untoward, inconvenient, problematic [for the Clinton campaign] is
being ignored altogether."
