But for Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), the ends justify the means.
“Let me be clear: Thank God for Wikileaks,” Duncan wrote on Twitter Monday morning. “Doing the job that MSM WON’T! #ASSANGE #wikileaks.”
That post came in the middle of a series of tweets from Duncan, who earlier remarked that it was “crazy that public opinion is being driven this election cycle by an accused rapist hiding out in the Embassy of foreign country #wikileaks.” Julian Assange, WikiLeaks’ founder, has been inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012, avoiding extradition to Sweden in relation to a rape allegation.
“Not praise for Assange. Thankful info is out there for sure, but never have condoned illegal activity. Maybe if HRC hadn’t destroyed emails,” Duncan wrote on Twitter, finishing his thought with a second tweet. “And if FBI had not destroyed evidence & ALL emails turned over – we would have a clear picture without Wiki.”
