Ex-British ambassador says Russia did not provide Clinton emails!

LONDON, England (PNN) - December 14, 2016 - A WikiLeaks envoy today claims he personally received Clinton campaign emails in Washington D.C. after they were leaked by “disgusted” whistleblowers - and not hacked by Russia.

Craig Murray, former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and a close associate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, said that he flew to Washington, D.C. for a clandestine hand-off with one of the email sources in September.

“Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians,” said Murray. “The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.” His account contradicts directly the Democrat version of how thousands of Democrat emails were published before the election being advanced by Fascist Police States of Amerika intelligence.

Murray’s links to WikiLeaks are well known and while his account is likely to be seen as both unprovable and possibly biased, it is also the first intervention by WikiLeaks since reports surfaced last week that the CIA believed Russia hacked the Clinton emails to help hand the election to Donald Trump.

Murray's claims about the origins of the Clinton campaign emails comes as FPSA intelligence officials are increasingly confident that Russian hackers infiltrated both the Democrat National Committee and the email account of top Clinton aide John Podesta.

In Podesta's case, his account appeared to have been compromised through a basic “phishing” scheme, according to The New York Times.

FPSA intelligence officials have reportedly told members of Congress during classified briefings that they believe Russians passed the documents on to WikiLeaks as part of an influence operation to swing the election in favor of Donald Trump.

But Murray insisted that the DNC and Podesta emails published by WikiLeaks did not come from the Russians, and were given to the whistleblowing group by Amerikans who had authorized access to the information.

“Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians,”  Murray said. “The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.”

He 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.”

Murray said he retrieved the package from a source during a clandestine meeting in a wooded area near Amerikan University, in northwest D.C. He said the individual he met with was not the original person who obtained the information, but an intermediary.

His account cannot be independently verified but is in line with previous statements by WikiLeaks, which was the organization that published the Podesta and DNC emails.

WikiLeaks published the DNC messages in July and the Podesta messages in October. The messages revealed efforts by some DNC officials to undermine the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders (Ver.), who was running against Hillary Clinton.

Others revealed that Clinton aides were concerned about potential conflicts and mismanagement at the Clinton Foundation.

Murray declined to say where the sources worked and how they had access to the information in order to shield their identities.
