Discussion on Political Risks and Sources

Donald Trump has had a disastrous few weeks.

If you look at the polls, he needs a miracle.

In the American political lexicon, there's such a thing as the October surprise.

The stuff that you're sitting on, is an October surprise in there?

We never sit on it.

Do you even know what you're sitting on?

Well, Helix never sits on material.

Our whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material, and often very significant

risks.

There's a 27-year-old that works for the DNC who was shot in the back, murdered just two

weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington.

That was just a robbery, I believe, wasn't it?

No.

There's no finding.

What are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting that our sources take risks, and they become concerned to see things occurring

like that.

But was he one of your sources, then?

We don't comment on who our sources are.

But why make the suggestion about a young guy being shot in the streets of Washington?

Because we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States, and that

our sources face serious risks.

That's why they come to us, so we can protect their anonymity.

That's quite something to suggest a murder.

That's basically what you're doing.

Well, others have suggested that.

We are investigating to understand what happened in that situation with Seth Rich.

I think it is a concerning situation.

There's not a conclusion yet.

We wouldn't be willing to state a conclusion, but we are concerned about it.

More importantly, a variety of Wikileaks sources are concerned when that kind of thing happens.
