WikiLeaks figure says ‘disgusted (ing)' Democrat leaked Clinton campaign emails

[Wash Times] A WikiLeaks figure is claiming that he received leaked Clinton campaign emails from a "disgusted" Democratic whistleblower, while the White House continued to blame Russian hackers Wednesday for meddling in the presidential election and asserted that Donald Trump was "obviously aware" of Moscow’s efforts on his behalf.

Craig Murray, a former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and a close associate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, said in the report by the Daily Mail that he flew to Washington for a clandestine handoff with one of the email sources in September.

He said he received a package in a wooded area near American University.

"Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians," Mr. Murray told the British newspaper. "The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks."

WikiLeaks published thousands of emails stolen from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, providing a steady stream of negative news coverage of the Democratic presidential nominee during the final weeks of the campaign. Mr. Murray said the leakers were motivated by "disgust at the corruption of the Clinton Foundation and the tilting of the primary election playing field against Bernie Sanders."

The Daily Mail report noted that Mr. Murray was removed from his diplomatic post amid allegations of misconduct.

#5 Murray separated from his first wife, Fiona, with whom he has two children,[11] in 2004[49] after beginning a relationship with Nadira Alieva, an Uzbek woman whom he met while she was working as a belly dancer in a nightclub in Tashkent.

No mystery about his politics. The man certainly does have class.

#6 ...Nadira Alieva, an Uzbek woman whom he met while she was working as a belly dancer in a nightclub in Tashkent.

I would have voted for a Uzbek belly dancer before I would have ever considered voting for Hillary Clinton!

Snark of the day with a Brillo pad to the eyeballs thereafter.

Visited many a "nightclub" in Tashkent. They was a dancin' but it wasn't belly dancin'. Late 2001/early 2002 and the only way into Kabul was w/Klingon Air outta Tashkent. Good times were had by all and local GDP increased as well.

No reason he couldn't be a Russian spy and a disgusted Democratic whistleblower.

#9 One wonders if there's a potential corollary between the 'informant' and the list of HRC campaign and DNC employees who died during the election season.

It's no surprise that the most successful hacks are executed with the help of people who have physical access to the servers.

If it helps narrow the narrow the field of suspects and arrive at a potential motive, none of the victims were....belly dancers.

Just say'n.
