Craig Murray said he got the document drop in September, right? Didn't Wikileaks start publishing emails earlier than that? (Sincere question, I don't understand the timeline here.)
- droithomme 10y agoThank you BryantD, that is a relevant and useful contribution. Per wikileaks: > "Starting on Friday 22 July 2016 at 10:30am EDT, WikiLeaks released over 2 publications 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee -- part one of our new Hillary Leaks series. The leaks come from the accounts of seven key figures in the DNC: Communications Director Luis Miranda (10520 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3799 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer (3095 emails), Finanace Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish (1742 emails), Finance Director Allen Zachary (1611 emails), Senior Advisor Andrew Wright (938 emails) and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails)." Per Craig Murray: "Craig Murray, former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and a close associate of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, told Dailymail.com that he flew to Washington, D.C. for a clandestine hand-off with one of the email sources in September." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4034038/Ex-British-ambassador-WikiLeaks-operative-claims-Russia-did-NOT-provide-Clinton-emails-handed-D-C-park-intermediary-disgusted-Democratic-insiders.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4034038/Ex-British-a... Perhaps Craig Murray meant September 2015, or perhaps the Daily Mail wrote the wrong thing down. If neither of these is true, there's a serious discrepancy in these claims. Lacking such an explanation, the reasonable conclusion here given the date discrepancy would be that either Ambassador Murray or the Daily Mail is lying about the dates.
