I believe Hillary. She wasn't joking about killing Assange. She was perfectly serious.
FIFY
I'll give her a pass on this one. Who hasnt joked about "killing" someone when they really didnt mean it? Distasteful given her position? Maybe. But I've heard others in .mil and .gov joking about doing bad and inappropriate things to bad guys before when there was absolutely no intention of actually carrying it out.
Unless the MSM makes a big deal about this and spells out EXACTLY what it means, expect major yawns from the masses. They wont understand or care unless someone points out how bad it is. "its just somebody else's money given to somebody else. Big deal. Not my money, not my care. "
Set the partisan politics aside for a moment.
Am I the only one who would be ok with killing him?
I don't know if it would make any difference in information already stolen in being distributed publicly. And I suspect Russia already has hard copies of everything.
But it might make the next spy who would steal our secrets think twice.
"Our" being the DNC, Hillary and the Clinton Foundation?
Too bad the US didn't do that to Daniel Ellsberg back in the day, right?
Or the Rosenbergs?
That presupposes that wrongdoing on her part would sway voter opinion. I don't think it will.

I thought due process was assumed, but after review, probably not. So he's saying just drone the ****er.Sure, due process is outdated.

Prosecuting Hillary for mishandling secrets may have deterred the next spy as well, but that didn't happen! Enter newest NSA contractor with secrets in his car and at home, flash bang grenades, raids, and in jail awaiting prosecution! No YEAR long investigation, no congressional hearings, go to jail, do not pass go...Set the partisan politics aside for a moment.

I wouldn't give her a pass, most people can joke because they're clearly not going to do it/in no position to do it even if they wanted to. If you're privileged to be in a position to actually order clandestine operations carried out against political dissidents then jokes about killing said dissidents are not acceptable.
Even if the source of the information Assange received is the Russians trying to influence American elections, I would not want to un-know the information revealed about a crooked candidate trying to become POTUS.
