WikiLeaks changes venue for "October surprise" announcement
CBS News ^ | October 03, 2016 | Julia Boccagno

Posted on 10/03/2016 6:45:51 PM PDT by Trump20162020

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will no longer deliver the highly-anticipated “October surprise” announcement from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London because of “security concerns,” NBC News’ Jesse Rodriguez first reported. Instead, the 45-year-old whistleblower may unveil the details of the political revelation--which he hinted could prove “devastating” to the Clinton campaign-- during a video press conference from Berlin Tuesday morning.

Before the venue change, Trump surrogate Roger Stone tweeted on Sunday that Hillary Clinton would be “done” on Wednesday following the disclosure of the WikiLeak findings.

Sad to say but sincerely doubt this will turn out to be anything. Think about it. Assange wants a pardon which so far he has not received. If he actually has information harmful to Clinton and releases it, that is it for him. He will have shot his wad and have nothing to show for it. What’s more he will be hounded and persecuted by the Left for the rest of his life. He may not get a pardon from Obama but it would still be in his interest to keep quiet. If he keeps quiet, does some small time, he then emerges on the lecture circuit , gets big bucks and will not be tormented by the Left. Also Assange is a committed Leftist. You can never trust a Leftist to do the right thing.

I’ve come to like this dude.

He might be a liberal and also might be gay, but if he is interested in truth for the sake of truth, then that’s good, I like that a lot.

There needs to be a lot more truth in this world, regardless of anyone’s individual ideology.

I'm going to bed shortly and waking up at 4:30 for my daily trip to Manhattan. I'll have to catch up on the train.

I can't think of anything revealed that will "sink" Crooked Hillary. No matter what it is, the mainstream media will circle the wagons and defend her to their dying breath.

We are going to have to sock it to her at the polls on November 8th.

Of that, at least, I feel good about.

Whatever it is I hope it destroys her and something that the media can not spin away or hide.

Couldn’t a President Trump pardon him?

Maybe he is banking on a pardon from President Trump.

It is true that most politically sophisticated people know that Hillary is a lesbian and Obama is homosexual. If however Trump or Assange releases irrefutable documentation is a lesbian, 3-5% of her support would evaporate and she will lose the election. Still sincerely believe that the leftist Assange will release nothing significant for reasons outlined in a previous post.

He may not get a pardon from Obama...

How exactly does an Australian national get a pardon from a US president?

Well, given that the Democratic nominee for president has called for Assange's assassination by drone, I can't say I blame him.

America really has gone to the dogs when this corrupt, murderous woman is this close to the presidency. Trump needs to win this thing.

What Wikileaks thinks is a monumental breach of the public trust is very often cool with Democrats. If they don’t come up with something that truly shuts her down the following day, I officially give up on Wikileaks.

I’ve been fooled too many times!

If you are in possession of classified documents and not authorized to have them, you are in violation of US law and subject to prosecution regardless of your nationality. There were classified documents on Hillary’s private server.

So why is Roger stone talking about this and raising expectations? Better to just let this playout.

Not getting any hopes up here . How many times have we heard these kinds of headlines only to end up with a big nothing.

Aye. But I hold to the hope that it's a thorn in her side in the meantime.

He’s raised expectations to the point that if he doesn’t deliver he’s shot his bolt.

That is true. I am hoping for something of biblical proportions that would put the fear of God into Hillary, Obama, the Dems and MSM. I am not holding my breath though.

In truth, we do not need this to help us. The criminal history of Hillary should have been enough to disqualify her. Unfortunately when you have the following:

-an FBI that will not do anything
-MSM that is doing everything possible to protect her
-people that want their free stuff
-Dem supporters that will support anyone with a D next to their name regardless of their criminal history
-people who are simply ignorant

it simply makes it that much more difficult for our side to win. Trump was a disappointment in the first debate. He said he held back so not to embarrass her. Sorry, but that is BS. He should have buried her right there and then. He was great the first 30 minutes and then took his foot off the gas pedal and played "not to lose".
