Never Mind: Wikileaks Cancels Big Clinton-Related Announcement Amid Security Concerns

[DonViejo]

Well, whatever big, mysterious, literal October surprise Roger Stone and Wikileaks were planning has been postponed.

Earlier today, we reported that Stone had tweeted something about Hillary Clinton‘s inevitable demise at the hands of Wikileaks. It mentioned that the big shocker was coming Wednesday, but we are hearing now that a big announcement planned for Tuesday has been canceled.

Due to security concerns at the Ecuadorian Embassy, Julian Assange's balcony announcement on Tues has been cancelled, per @wikileaks

It appears that the announcement Stone touted and the one Wikileaks canceled are one in the same and Stone simply meant that after Tuesday’s announcement, Clinton would be “done” on Wednesday. The reveal of whatever was so sure to end her political career has been halted for the time being.

1. She's a raging Hetrosexual?

[Mamajami]

33. Is it because they learned the Feds have PacMan that will chew up their load once it is dumped

and back track to their servers? Is there something in the dump that will actually lead the anti-hackers back to them. They have been getting better and better at identifying the location of sources.

[alfredo]

34. If for sure that the Russians are doing this for Trump, he's in deep shit.

[JHB]

37. Trump 2016! He'll do what liberals never could!...

Get his marching orders straight from the Kremlin.

[alfredo]

38. Yeah we were more into Mao.

[JHB]

36. She's watched live performances of thespians!

[MANative]

2. Interesting that they used the word "cancelled" rather than "postponed."

I'd bet every last dollar that there was nothing; they just want to keep hype going that there could be something. Fuck Assange.

[randome]

3. "Security concerns"? Is this Assange's personal paranoia having a fling with him again?

And now Roger Stone -a loser by the very definition of the word- is forever associated with Wikileaks, an organization of losers.

A gaggle of buffoons.

35. i'd love to see Trump and his cronies facing espionage charges.

[UCmeNdc]

4. They had some fake paperwork but had to make sure it did not lead back to Russia.

It is not over, Russian intelligence wanted to make sure their fingerprints are removed.

[comradebillyboy]

5. I wonder if the government of Equador is tired of being used by Assange.

Assange meddling in our election may strain US-Equador relations especially with President Hillary.

[Thinkingabout]

6. Their leaks are not working, no move on letting those off the book on their legal issues.

[Doctor Jack]

15. Their biggest "leak" of the year got a few people riled up for about 6 hours

Mostly Sanders supporters that were never going to vote for Clinton or Trump anyway. And all it was is that a few mid-level staffers at the DNC said in a couple of emails that they didn't particularly care for Sanders' campaign. Everything they have released since then has ranged between "meh" and "even fox news didn't care".

[Thinkingabout]

22. And Assange is still hold up in the embassy, did not release him from his issues.

[Rex]

7. Everything has to be approved by the Kremlin first. nt

[SaschaHM]

8. I wonder how Assange helping Trump is going over with the Ecuadorians.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. The Ecuadorian embassy is insecure? In London? Quick Assange ask for a bobby stationed outside again

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. The leak was going to be that Hillary paid taxes and kept her marriage together. . . . . nt

[radius777]

11. many of these 'hacked' document dumps are forgeries

russian/european nationalists/gop/roger stone whoever trying to effect the election have every incentive to hack into systems and steal regular/innocuous documents, then forge them to make it look like scandal, then dump them onto wikileaks or elsewhere. such forgeries have occured numerous times in the past.

this is why i think i was a big mistake for H/Dems to have capitulated re the DWS email thing. They should've pushed back and questioned the authenticity instead of accepting it as real, because now the media/gop/trump are going to be empowered by any wikileak etc type dumps.

[smorkingapple]

12. DWS needed to go, even if forgeries were the trigger

She was a travesty as DNC head.

[radius777]

14. Maybe. But capitulating at that moment for that reason

only helped to give credibility to Wikileaks and other hack/dump type organizations.

Dems/H should've pushed back/questioned authenticity and motivations, while removing DWS (if they decided to do so) later on and cited other reasons for it.

Instead they set themselves up for more of Assange/Russians ratmucking.

I hope this time Dems/H have a much better response, and push back hard.

[otohara]

24. She Should Have Lobbied to Rid Caucuses

from every state in the republic.

So grateful mine and two other states have opted for primary status next time around.

[Charlotte Little]

13. I can't help but laugh my ass off...

They got nothing. The whole "she's as bad as the orange turd" narrative is coming to an end (except in the minds of the most strident deplorables whose education levels are less than that of a 5th grader). I honestly believe that MSM has finally realized their complicity in possibly getting Trumpenstein elected and the country burning to the ground with that possibility. The tables have rightfully turned and the pitchforks are aimed in the direction they should have always been pointed. Hillary simply doesn't have the baggage Trump does, not so much as a centimeter. Where there's smoke, there's fire. At this point, Wikileaks has nothing but soggy wet timber and matches.

[Blue Idaho]

16. And Wikileaks credibility goes to...

Zero.

[Adrahil]

17. Here's my guess.

Assange knows that what he has is pretty weak. The leak of the tax records is BIG news and is likely to dominate coverage for the next couple of days. He knows is weak-sauce "announcement" would get the "meh" treatment. He wants to wait for a quiet news cycle to ensure Trump surrogates have the best chance to really make a mountain out of a mole hill.

[TXCritter]

18. The security concern is that Trump might become president

And the rest of the world would be at risk.

[Generic Brad]

19. Tuesday is the right wing's version of Fitzmas

Much ado about nothing.

[Loki Liesmith]

20. Been converted to a "videoconference" Tuesday AM

Basically what I fathom has happened: they have a huge trove of emails from (mostly) the DNC and thought they could dig up something scandalous over the last few months. But they've mostly found the kind of office sniping and innuendo you often see in workplace email.

Rather than embarrass himself in a big public setting, Assange is dialing it back.

[Hoyt]

21. So, just leak it to media and don't stand on balcony.

[Peacetrain]

23. Oh shoot I posted that same thing.. did not see this op!!

[Blue_Tires]

25. LOL Julian you ratfucking piece of shit

[ScienceIsGood]

27. +1

[Zambero]

26. A sound Roger and Julian did not want to hear

THUD. Followed by uninterested silence.

[LonePirate]

28. Security concern because of a balcony announcement? Would an indoor announcement not have sufficed?

[MowCowWhoHow III]

29. Rescheduled/rolled into 10:00 CET Berlin press conference

Tomorrow's press conf in Berlin proceeds. London speech by Assange has been moved to Berlin due to specific information.

[gabeana]

30. sorry not clear on the time

is that 10 am east coast or is that 10 am Berlin time?

[MowCowWhoHow III]

31. 10 am Berlin time

[marlakay]

32. Its going all over the conservative sites

That she said in a meeting in 2010 to drone Julian. And everyone laughed after.

She might have said some off hand joke she didn't mean, but they are blowing it up like she purposely would do it.

If she did make such a joke it would explain why he has been so out to get her in the face of how awful Trump is.
