Anybody with a brain knew that once Hillary Rodham Clinton began her second pursuit of the presidency we all would be returning to the cocktail lounge of the Mena Airport [ http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a22860/hillary-clinton-2016-opinion-0613/ ] just in time for the perpetual Happy Hour. And, yes, dear friends, here we are again.

But wait, there seem to be some new folks hanging around the bar these days with new tales to tell. Whoa. Hey! I think the future of freedom just walked in? I sense that the world is changing around us. It is a whole new day!

Isn't that…him? Via Buzzfeed [ https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/julian-assange-floats-theory-murdered-dnc-employee-was-infor ]:

"Whistleblowers often take very significant efforts to bring us material and often at very significant risks," Assange said in an interview to be aired Tuesday on the Dutch television program Nieuwsuur [ http://nos.nl/nieuwsuur/ ]. "There's a 27-year-old who works for the DNC and who was shot in the back, murdered, just a few weeks ago, for unknown reasons as he was walking down the streets in Washington."

Seth Rich, a DNC employee who did voter outreach, was shot to death last month early in the morning in Washington, D.C. The case is unsolved and police have speculated it was an [ http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Man-Shot-Killed-in-Northwest-DC-386316391.html ] attempted robbery.

[...]

"I am suggesting that our sources take risks and they become concerned to see things occurring like that," Assange added, when asked what he was alleging. "We don't comment on who our sources are."

Asked by interviewer Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal why he would speculate about someone being shot, Assange said it showed "our sources face serious risks."

"We have to understand how high the stakes are in the US, and that our sources face serious risks. That's why they come to us, so we can protect their anonymity," he said.

Oh, just bite me, you indecent international squatter. If I were an Ecuadorian taxpayer, I'd be pretty pissed.

Lord, you'd'a thought there's less fools in this world.
