WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange promised on Tuesday to publish reams of documents in the coming weeks, including “significant material” on the U.S. presidential election, which he said will be revealed before Election Day on November 8. Assange, who spoke to a news conference in Berlin from inside London’s Ecuadorian embassy, also said revelations will be made about “war, arms, oil, Google,” and himself.

The details of WikiLeaks’ election-related release remain murky, though Assange did say it is not expressly intended to damage Hillary Clinton’s shot at the White House. That “we intend to harm Hillary Clinton, or I intend to harm Hillary Clinton, or I don’t like Hillary Clinton, all those are false,” he said.

Although some had speculated that Assange would release something juicy during this very press conference, he brushed aside that idea. “Understand, if we’re going to make a big publication, we’re not going to do it at 3 AM in the United States,” he said.

The lack of information in the early morning press conference has enraged some of Assange’s fans, including the prince of paranoia, InfoWars founder Alex Jones, who was so worked up about the lack of a promised data dump that he briefly channeled Ludacris.

1. Lol... Never gonna give you up! nt

[apnu]

4. Never gonna let you down...

[Adrahil]

2. By "significant" he means....

thousands of of mundane details that have little or no impact. <shrug>

If had anything of consequence, it would be out by now.

3. Yawn.

Put up or shut up already. Frankly, I think if he had anything we'd have seen it by now.

[Jim Dandy]

5. Julian is influential for an alleged rapist

I guess that's how they play in the GOP.

6. Please pass the Ovaltine.

I want one of those secret decoder ring thingers too.

7. I doubt Hillary will let this slide

After Hillary is elected I'm sure she'll bring him to answer for all the crap he's caused. I'd like to see a drone strike right on him.

8. Weak sauce

Try harder.

9. You don't drone strike a clown.

12. So anyone who opposes the US government should be drone striked?

Calling people spies and traitors and then killing them off for disagreeing with the government is a hallmark of a tyrannical government trying to protect itself.

10. He already released what he had...

before the democratic convention. He likes to release the stuff before major events. If he had anything he would have released it before the first debate. The 2nd and 3rd debates are smaller events so he would have released before debate 1.

[davidn3600]

13. Or release it right before the election.

[Joe941]

14. I doubt it...

because it takes time for news to change opinions. So releasing info just before the election doesn't have much effect.

11. Whatever. No surprise from that direction.

My only concern, such as it is, is that a bunch of nothing dumped on the media could distract attention from what are turning into Trump's many trumpster conflagrations and H's campaign will have plans to deal with that if it happens.
