In a series of tweets Thursday night, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange suggested that there is evidence indicating that the British government and intelligence agencies were involved in a plot to bring down the Trump presidency.
Assange laid out the possible role that he believes MI6 and the government played in the so-called ‘dirty dossier’ scandal:
There is something very odd about the Joseph Mifsud story and the role of the UK in the 2016 US presidential election:

Assange notes that back in November, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was pictured meeting with Joseph Mifsud, a professor with strong Kremlin ties who also worked for a group run by the former head of Saudi intelligence.

Assange notes that The FBI used MI6 associate Alexander Downer’s statement about Misfud to open the FISA interception warrants against the Trump camp:
4/ It was Alexander Downer in London, closely associated with
Hakluyt (now Holdingham Group Ltd) a private MI6 outfit, that met with Papadopulos. The FBI used AD's statement about Misfud to open the FISA interception warrants against the Trump camp.https://t.co/O9wT5ufPQE— Defend Assange Campaign (@DefendAssange) March 22, 2018
Assange then highlights how each move by the British government and its associates aided the opposition campaign against Trump:
5/ It was former UK MI6 officer Christopher Steele who compiled the smear filled "Steel Dossier" funded by Hillary Clinton

8/ Steele used former UK ambassador Sir Andrew Wood to funnel the dossier to the Trump hating Senator John McCain; seemingly deliberately moving the handover out of London, to Canada. https://t.co/hzMAuTasFn

Assange followed up with a tweet concerning election interference at the hands of the British government.
“We finally have the most concrete evidence yet of shadowy actors using dirty tricks in order to rig elections. But these characters aren’t operating from Moscow… Instead, they are British, Eton educated, … and have close ties to Her Majesty…” https://t.co/14nQXGa90H

Clearly, the Wikileaks head is suggesting that rather than ‘muh Russians’ being the shady actors trying to rig the election in favor of Trump, of which there has been no evidence, it may, in fact, have been British government and intelligence operatives attempting to rig the election to stop Trump getting into office.
