HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN HOLDS ITS BREATH AS WIKILEAKS FOUNDER MAKES MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT
THE POINT: WESTERN JOURNALISM ^ | OCTOBER 3, 2016 AT 12:19 PM | NORVILLE ROSE

Posted on 10/03/2016 7:46:31 PM PDT by drewh

What had been billed as an address to the gathered media from the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London has been changed to a video presentation that will be shown in Berlin — not called off, as some had reported, but changed to Germany. The reason for the shift in location and the fact that Assange will not appear live? “Specific information,” presumably about a credible threat.

Assange has been hinting for some time that the proverbial “October surprise” for Hillary would have a huge impact on the viability of her presidential campaign.

He appeared on Fox News last month, repeating his assertion that WikiLeaks has damaging documents on the former secretary of state — incriminating emails, potentially. And we all know there’s quite a trail of tears in Hillary’s wake to suggest that new material exposing further scandal and corruption could be in the wings.

Concerning the “C” markings on classified material that Clinton shared through her unauthorized, unsecured private email server, Assange told Sean Hannity, “It’s absolutely incredible for Clinton to lie, she is lying, about not knowing what that is, but it’s disturbing that [FBI Director] James Comey goes along with that game,” the WikiLeaks founder said.

In its coverage of the anticipated Assange video disclosure on Tuesday, Fox News notes that there have been hints that powerful people might want something to happen that would make it impossible for Julian Assange to continue doing what the WikiLeaks Twitter feed declares to be the organization’s mission: “We open governments.”

“Though no recent public revelations directly tie to Assange’s security fears, various U.S. officials and pundits have made threatening statements directed at him in the past,” the Fox News reports says. “WikiLeaks on Monday tweeted an alleged quote from a 2010 State Department meeting at which then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked if Assange could be killed in a drone strike. [There has been no corroboration of that supposed inquiry from Clinton.] That same year, former Democrat strategist Bob Beckel said on Fox News Channel that ‘a dead man can’t leak stuff.'”

In its ten years of finding, acquiring and exposing all sorts of secrets that the rich and powerful don’t want know, WikiLeaks has published more than 10 million leaked emails. They include sensitive information about prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and a cache of diplomatic cables from U.S. embassies around the world.

The Tuesday morning announcement made remotely in Berlin could be the organization’s biggest disclosure yet. Or it could prove to be nothing at all.

What do you think?

That’s OK. The media will work overtime to nullify most of it.

This better not be a nothingburger.

“I remain skeptical...”

Me too. Short of the location of bodies I can’t imagine the media being interested. Everyone knows she’s a lying cheating scumbag already.

Color me skeptical.

Not saying he has something juicy, but by tomorrow night the DNC media will set the “bombshell” aside so that they can talk about Russian hackers 24/7.

Seems if hilda hasn’t shot herself in all three feet by now with such a polarized nation I wonder what Assagne can do. Hope our prayers are answered. We need some real change.

Wouldn’t that completely wipe out his credibility? Seems like he would not want that.

I hope it’s something that will knock her out. Keeping fingers crossed. But I was “there” when Rivera went into the vault. And I’ve been disappointed by others like O’Keefe and Breitbart when things didn’t quite pan out.

I still remember Breitbart was supposed to have something huge about Obama, then Breitbart died. Then nothing more was ever said about what it might have been.

Given the Clinton ability to shrug off utterly damning revelations in the past, I find it very hard to pump any adrenalin. We’ll see or we won’t. Until the revelation is made — if it is made, I’ll remain skeptical.

The old Red Light District could use a remod,, why not Trump doing the job? We don’t need another slumlord like Obammy.

Depending on the media to amplify bad Clinton news, at this late date is a wild wish. I suspect that if the news is devastating, the press will energize to discredit the story, then stop talking about it altogether, and then resume talking about Trump’s activities 30 years ago. If the news is anything less than devastating, they will run it once, quietly and then ignore it. Then they will double-down on Trump attacks.

I don't really trust him either. There are a lot of suspicious and/or untrustworthy characters on the stage these days.
