ESTABLISHMENT HACK WARNS REPUBLICANS: DON’T TALK ABOUT WIKILEAKS

[10/19/16]  Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is warning his fellow Republicans not to talk about the Wikileaks dump of emails stolen from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta, breaking with the example set by Donald Trump.

“I will not discuss any issue that has become public solely on the basis of Wikileaks,” said Rubio in a statement to NBC News. “As our intelligence agencies have said, these leaks are an effort by a foreign government to interfere with our electoral process and I will not indulge it.”

Though he did not mention the Republican nominee by name, Rubio is clearly departing from his former rival on the issue. Trump has repeatedly brought up the Wikileaks’ hack, accusing the media of ignoring the stolen emails in an effort to protect Clinton.
