Hillary Clinton responds to Julian Assange's arrest: 'He has to answer for what he has done'

Hillary Clinton on Thursday responded to news that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorean embassy, and may be extradited to the U.S. to face charges related to hacking classified U.S. documents, saying that Assange should "answer for what he has done."

WikiLeaks played a damaging role in Clinton's failed presidential run in 2016, releasing an archive of over 30,000 emails sent from Clinton's private email server while she was U.S. Secretary of State, as well as internal communications between the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign.

Speaking at an event in New York on Thursday, Clinton said Assange should "answer for what he has done."

"The bottom line is that he has to answer for what he has done, at least as it has been charged," she said of Assange.

President Trump and his associates have repeatedly denied knowledge of the Russia-backed campaign to hack into the DNC servers, though as a candidate he often referenced Clinton's private emails and even expressed support for WikiLeaks.

Weren't the DNC's servers hacked? Perhaps that's where they found the emails sent from Clinton. Beartracks Apr 2019 #5

the personal Data was posted on Wiki only to have these folks wiped out financially. Social Security Numbers,Bank Account numbers,mortgage info. Bogus Credit Cards were issued,calls to Mortgage Companies made disparaging the Mortgage holder. Several of these folks ended up filing Bankruptcy as a result do too the Credit Agencies not dealing with these bogus Credit Cards and fake bank loans.

Believe there was three Law Suits filed in DC to only be dumped by a Bush Judge.

No idea WTH they're talking about here. AFA I've ever known, Clinton's private server was never hacked.

Sounds like they're just making shit up over at MSN.
