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?
So guess which one the press goes after.
That is right.
The adult populace has known how the Clintons are since the 1990s and they don’t care.
Nothing sticks to the Clintons.
We need about 20 more threads about assange.
Amazing that everyone is so focused on him thinking that he will save us from hill.
Meanwhile all he’s doing is dangling carrots.
All he will do is brag about how he’s been around for a decade.
Whoopdedoo
The question should be “Why is Bob Beckel still breathing”?
Do they really think threats only go in one direction?
I’m with you...Fast and Furious...our weapons given to the ISIS to over throw Assad...she and Barky are so up to their eyeballs in corruption, and the CIA with poppy bush, Clinton, jeb, and drugs, Jeffrey Epstein, teeny boppers as their sex slaves, and they yell about Trump using a loop hole on his taxes exactly like the ones THEY used...SMH!!!
^^^^^ THIS!
An excellent summary of where e find ourselves.
Hugely skeptical.
Might have something to do with Swiss bank accounts mentioned in certain email exchanges. Ties to terror, the Clintons Crime Foundation perhaps.
He may have the goods, but will he share them with the good guys?
Just a guess based on his teaser comments, that it will be interesting but not necessarily terminal. He said some of it is “entertaining”. We will see. And is this the last one?
He has the goods but so what? This is now a banana Republic. Who is going to lift a finger? The FBI? Who is going to do something? Nobody
I watched a couple of interviews that Assange had regarding this leak a while back. When asked point blank if what was coming would be damaging to Clinton, he said perhaps IF the public and media make it so. So I do not put a great deal of stock in the reports of a campaign ending type of revelation.
Most likely out of the news in less than a day so our MSM overlords can trash Pence all day Wednesday.
This is just so much noise. Even if Assange comes out with a blockbuster (which I doubt), the MSM will go into hyperdrive to spin it as Trump’s fault (or Russia is help Trump, blah, blah, blah). Anyone already voting for Hillary will just lap that up.
Amazing that people accept the threat of murder from Clinton and other Democrats without blinking an eye. Perhaps it’s in the way they say it, in a passive or questioning way rather than the more direct way Republicans speak.
Regarding media reaction, we jumped that shark years ago. Kids, Bill Clinton raped people and they have been treating him as a loveable teddy bear for decades.
Excellent point.
Thanks for those pics. BTTT!
