Sending a mysterious series of tweets immediately after he posted a $20,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the killer or killers of Seth Rich, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has implied that DNC operatives are gunning for him. The first tweet was prefaced by Assange's comment:

"Hillary Clinton strategist Bob Beckel called for WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange to be assassinated. #DNCLeak."

The Wikileaks tweet is dated August 10th. The comment by CNN commentator, Clinton strategist, and Democratic Party operative Bob Beckel was made in December of 2010, when he said on the Fox News channel about Assange:

"there's only one way to do it: illegally shoot the son of a bitch."

Beckel said during his remarks: "Dead men tell no tales," and recommended US special operations operatives carry out the murder.

A second tweet from Assange on the same day referenced his assassination by reposting a 2013 remark made by Time correspondent Michael Grunwald, when Grunwald wrote that:

"I can't wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out Julian Assange."

The note by Assange prefacing the tweet only says that Grunwald is now at Politico. But the tweet could not have been intended as an announcement of Grunwald's new employment, as he has been with Politico since 2014.
