Wikileaks reveals leaked emails came from a Bernie Sander’s supporter frustrated with the DNC rigging the primaries for Hillary Clinton.
Wikileaks revealed the source of their leaked emails in an exclusive interview today with the U.K.’s Daily Mail revealing that U.S. intelligence reports that Russia hacked the emails to interfere with the U.S. elections to help Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton are absolutely wrong.
Murray’s claims have been corroborated with a second interview given to the U.K’s Express and another interview by the U.K.’s well-respected Gaurdian.
In the interview Wikileaks envoy Craig Murray and former British ambassador stated the he personally flew to the United States and was handed both the DNC emails and the Podesta emails.
Murray told the Daily Mail the emails came from DNC insider with legal access to the emails who had knowledge of the corruption within the Clinton Foundation leaked the emails because he was frustrated with the DNC rigging the Democratic primaries against Bernie Sanders.
Murray stated regardless of whether Russia hacked any emails or not the Wikileaks emails did not come from Russia.
‘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 motivation behind the leaks was ‘disgust at the corruption of the Clinton Foundation and the tilting of the primary election playing field against Bernie Sanders.’
The new information may likely lead U.S. intelligence sources to the more information about the source of the leak given they will be able to cross-reference Murray’s flight records and cross-reference satellite and CCTV cameras during the time Murray was in Washington.
Murray told the Express that the person that who handed over the e-mails was from the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Murray’s statements now officially corroborate prior claims initially made by Director Oliver Stone who suggested the leak was most likely an inside job in an interview with CNN three months ago.
Wikileaks is also retweeting confirming that Russia was not their source.

Although Wikileaks still is not officially naming their source Wikileaks is adding more fuel to the fire fueling the conspiracy that their source was suspiciously murdered DNC Staffer Seth Rich.

Murray told the Guardian:
Speaking to The Guardian, Mr Murray said: “I know who leaked them.
“I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things.
“As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks – there is a major difference between the two.”
More from the Daily Mail :
Craig Murray (left), former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and associate of Julian Assange (right), told the Dailymail.com he personally received Clinton campaign emails in Washington D.C. after they were leaked by ‘disgusted’ whisteblowers – and not hacked by Russia. He claims he had a clandestine hand-off in a wooded area near American University with one of the email sources. The leakers’ motivation, he says, was ‘disgust at the corruption of the Clinton Foundation and the ’tilting of the primary election playing field against Bernie Sanders.’ Murray says: ‘The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks. But regardless of whether the Russians hacked into the DNC, the documents Wikileaks published did not come from that,’ Murray insists.

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.
‘Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians,’ said Murray in an interview with Dailymail.com on Tuesday. ‘The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.’
His account contradicts directly the version of how thousands of Democratic emails were published before the election being advanced by U.S. intelligence.
Murray said he retrieved the package from a source during a clandestine meeting in a wooded area near American University, in northwest D.C. He said the individual he met with was not the original person who obtained the information, but an intermediary.
Murray claims he met with the person who passed the emails over in a Washington, D.C. part near American University
From the Express:
WIKILEAKS BOMBSHELL: Assange ally says Clinton election hack was ‘inside job’ NOT Russia
AN ally of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said the hack of the Democratic Party in the run up to the US elections was not Russia but instead an ‘inside job’.
Former British ambassador Craig Murray said he has met the person who handed over the e-mails and they WERE from the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
The e-mails were released by Mr Assange’s site and caused damage to Hillary Clinton’s reputation with a number of shock revelations among tens of thousands of e-mails.
[…]
GETTY /Director Oliver Stone made the claims initially as he supported Assange[…]
The ex-Uzbekistan ambassador said Mrs Clinton should take account of what she did wrong – rather than making accusations about the hack.
He said: “And it should be said again and again, that if Hillary Clinton had not connived with the DNC to fix the primary schedule to disadvantage Bernie, if she had not received advance notice of live debate questions to use against Bernie, if she had not accepted massive donations to the Clinton foundation and family members in return for foreign policy influence, if she had not failed to distance herself from some very weird and troubling people, then none of this would have happened.”
[…]Director Oliver Stone, a vocal supporter of the WikiLeaks founder, also made the shock claims about the release of the e-mails three months ago.
[…]During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Mr Stone called the accusations a “great fiction” and suggested foul play by the DNC.
The director revealed intelligence experts he spoke to indicated the DNC hack was “probably an inside job.”

“… the emails came from DNC insider with legal access to the emails who had knowledge of the corruption within the Clinton Foundation leaked the emails because he was frustrated with the DNC rigging the Democratic primaries against Bernie Sanders.”
Just Bernie?
Hell, there should have been a long line for THAT.
