The Justice Department is about to indict Julian Assange, the editor of WikiLeaks. That’s according to various reports.

The Democrats are cheering because surely Assange will reveal some deep secrets about Russians and the last presidential election.

In the first place, the media of the world should be coming to Assange’s defense. He was, after all, breaking news just like the press does.

But there’s something else. Assange hinted prior to the election that the Russians weren’t the source of all the Democratic Party e-mails he published. What if the leak was from inside the Democratic Party itself?

What if Assange’s testimony, when it is forced, shows that the leaker was a disgruntled anti-Hillary Clinton Democrat who happened to be mysteriously murdered in a case that hasn’t yet been solved?

That, my friends, is one of the shockers that could hit the press and the financial markets in the months ahead. The Democrats should be careful what they wish for when it comes to Assange.

Bloomberg News reported this week that the Justice Department is looking into whether traders had been using another cryptocurrency to manipulate the price of bitcoin, which has been crashing in value of late.

Let me repeat this. Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies are worthless. All they are is a confidence game — a scam. And when the prices drop, there is nothing anyone can do to keep the confidence and the price up except manipulate these phony currencies.

Worthless by the end of 2019: That’s my prediction.
