No, Assange did not lie.

It'd be fucking hilarious if all this political shit circling
around DC escalates someone or some entity ends
up ordering NSA to release its voice tapes on whoever,
or someone leaks them.
(Of course from its exabytes of full content take warrantless
surveillance of all domestic and foreign comms stored
in Utah, etc.)

After all, sticking it to each other in public is surely much more
fun for them than worrying about some boring secret tech program.

Fan their flames :)
