Why, because Assange has so much faith in the MSM that all entertain those who want his head?
Here's on of the highlighted videos from Wikileaks 10th Anniversary celebration in Berlin. Now, does it seem so far fetched that he could have been on a hit list when both Dems and Reps have called for his death?

Yet she says she can't recall. Doesn't that seem like she is at least saying there is a possibility she said it? And if she thinks she may have said it, it probably means she at least thought it.

I'm the kind of guy who says Trump is on record saying Edward Snowden should be executed.
So take that how you want it kid.
so what?
if true pundit reported that trump wanted snowden executed during a private e-mail discussion, would you have left that comment referencing hillary's drone strike comment on assange?
see, the problem is, you think this is a "Clinton bashing" thread. it's not.

You would think if she never had a thought of droning Assange, she would have said when asked "Of course I never said that!"
If you were in Hillary's (or other top political positions) would you not have thought of taking out Assange?
If we're being perfectly honest?
Having a thought, is not an action. We are human, we all have thoughts we would not necessarily put into action.
This is a "nit-picky" to me.
Secretaries of state and career politicians shouldn't be expressing "thoughts we all have" with regards to killing people. they're put in charge, supposedly, and as a primary function, to set benevolent & productive policies while at the same time setting an example of excellence.
if you're going to defend someone who's supposed to know better and more than you and i, shouldn't there be something more tangible than "well we're all human" to choose from?
We don't live in La La Land. Idealism is a nice word, nothing more.
How unrealistic to think any person in high level politics wouldn't have thoughts of Assange being eliminated.
This is the Real World.
Dubbed “Terror Tuesday” and “Killer Tuesday” by U.S. intelligence agency insiders, Clinton met with President Obama and National Security Council members, among other diplomats, on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 in the Situation Room to specifically hand-select the next so-called national security threats to die via the U.S. drone strike program, sources confirmed. Assange, largely considered internationally as a trouble-making journalist and muckraker, was part of that Tuesday’s proceedings and debate, sources familiar with the meeting have confirmed to True Pundit.
People put our political leaders on a pedestal for some ungodly reason and forget that like every last one of us here they are human. Obviously if you can't see why they might want him out of the picture you might be the blind one...
In reaponse, we are complicit with a meeting of informed people from multiple areas of our govt. For risk and threat prediction and action because its a he'll of a lot better than ignoring the issues hoping they go away.
You say they should be held to a higher standard, that you are unwilling or unable to uphold yourself that sounds a lot like hypocrisy
If our focus shouldn't be on national security what should it be on? Rainbows and unicorns? Obviously that was a jest, but truly our national security is paramount to all other aspects of our life here in america, can't worry about fixing roads if they are always getting blown up, can't think about education if the schools are inside of war zones.
The problem does not lie with those in office but with us as a population. That alone should be clear enough for any one to see.
1. National security is the issue, enemies both foreign and domestic, in other words what these "kill meetings" were about. Would you prefer to ignore these issues?
2. Ok so maybe you are, but who's standards do we follow, every one has there own moral code and compass who is to say that what you find morally right I wouldn't find to be gray or outright wrong.
3. If we avoid risk assessment and national security talk how long would it take for a country or other party to seek and find a weakness to bring us to our knees? How long before the real fighting landed on our shores? How many car bombs and air raises would follow if we gave up on protecting ourselves?
4.yup, it is our fault in large we are an uneducated mass of idiots, while some people maybe educated about politics, and our politicians talking points the vast majority are not. Most people vote blind down party lines and never look back. They then want to complain about all the injustice in our political system but are unwilling to take them time to admit to themselves they are to blame for our situation.unless you subscribe to the theory that all elections are jokes and predetermined, and I'm guessing from your educated responses you do not.
