Earlier this week we noted that Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) had a three hour meeting with Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London to discuss 'helpful' information which Assange purported would prove that Russia was not his source for the DNC / Podesta leaks last year.
Not surprisingly, the mainstream media chose not to focus on that angle and decided instead to focus all of their efforts on branding Rohrabacher as a Russian spy. That said, here is how Rohrabacher recounted the details of the meeting with Assange to The Hill:
“Our three-hour meeting covered a wide array of issues, including the WikiLeaks exposure of the DNC emails during last year's presidential election,” Rohrabacher said, “Julian emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure of those emails."
Pressed for more detail on the source of the documents, Rohrabacher said he had information to share privately with President Donald Trump.
“Julian also indicated that he is open to further discussions regarding specific information about the DNC email incident that is currently unknown to the public,” he added.
Now, the following tweet from an account that tracks the every move of the Trump family has sparked new speculation that a Presidential pardon of Julian Assange may be in the works...something that is undoubtedly not all that palatable to our friends at CNN and MSNBC.
DonaldJTrumpJr has just followed @JulianAssange.

Meanwhile, we would note that Jr. is also a long-time follower of @wikileaks so that must necessarily mean that he coordinated the DNC / Podesta hacks directly with them. Combine that with the fact that we're almost certain that parsing through the nearly 1,200 accounts that Jr. follows would also reveal at least a couple of Russian sounding names and we're pretty sure that Mueller's grand jury has all they need for an indictment.
Of course, if Assange really has concrete evidence that his source is anyone other than a Kremlin-connected official then you would think that information might be deemed useful to Special Counsel Mueller since it's basically the only reason his investigation exists in the first place.
Moreover, one would think that an immunity deal for Assange in return for such information would also be reasonable...rendering a presidential pardon moot. Certainly, the majority of Hillary's staff was granted immunity deals for far less useful information...
