Can Assange turn it around for Trump?

Wikileaks boss WILL release 'damaging information' about Hillary tomorrow after initially cancelling 'October Surprise' speech from embassy balcony



This information is coming from Putin / Russia. Assange had to hold off to make sure the IP addresses etc. lined up to not implicate Russian Intelligence.

it's sad how he is making these poor women try to cover for him while he maybe builds-up the courage to maybe show his face.

these poor women are having to ramble, ramble on trying to cover for him. I assume he is still trying to build-up the courage to show his face and admit he has nothing.

4. The time for release was before the nomination

if they had anything real.

The biggest possible problem of yet another release of mostly nothing would probably be masking what should be practically wall-to-wall news coverage of Donald's many malfeasances. We'll see.

6. The emails are too convenient. What about other countries servers being attacked?

Why does it seem that wikileaks only receives emails that make Hillary look bad?
If these are discussions that are not truly controlled by anyone, why isn't sensitive russian information included? Surely Clinton would have discussed some damaging Putin policies. Maybe some industrial espionage agents working in the US as an example. Wikileaks seems to only get the ones that hurt Hillary. What gives?

to be elected. She'll take a hard line against his aggression. And of course Assange's turned out to be yet another of the irrational but vicious haters who have focused on Hillary, and thus very directable.

10. Ass-ange's "scoop" is more about Ass-ange than Clinton.

Apparently she asked if USA could drone him at one point.

Big. Flipping. Whoop. No one's vote will change because of this.

11. How many of the ultra right and ultra left are angry for being 'punked' by Assange?

How long before their anger turns them against him? Is Putin angry? Will the Russian hackers still play ball with him?
