The Duran Quick Take: Episode 478. The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the mainstream media reports that the Trump White House asked Julian Assange to cover up links with Russia, while stating that Russia did not hack the DNC...for that Trump would pardon Assange, according to MSM headlines. Problem is that media headlines are completely misleading what was argued in court regarding the DNC emails, but nonetheless Assange's line of defense will rely on the Russian DNC hacking narrative going forward, which may prove to be a massive risk in preventing Assange's extradition to the United States.
