You may be right. The whole coordinated attack method within the media smacks of terrorist methods—bombs going off all at once or in quick succession.
People notice.
Same thing with all the GOP-e defections; they all came out too quickly at the same time and the press releases were all the same script. It was clearly a planned coup attempt.
As for the timing, I think it had more to do with the start of early voting than the Wikileaks revelations. The Clinton camp knew the MSM would ignore Wikileaks. They are more concerned about the early voters, who are more likely to be Trump voters because of the enthusiasm gap. They know it’s going to be a close election and they need to stop every Trump vote they can. Early votes can’t be changed once cast, so they had to drop the bomb right at the start of the voting period.
