Showing Original Post only (View all)Daily Mail: Assange WILL release his "October Surprise" tomorrow... [View all]
..."safely by video link".
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cancelled a planned appearance to mark the 10th anniversary of his organization from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London over security fears on Monday.
He had been planning to give a speech - amid claims he was about to release damaging information about Clinton which some claimed could be an 'October Surprise' which would swing the presidential election.
However, Assange, who is wanted by Swedish authorities for questioning in connection with an alleged rape, will make an announcement via video link to an event in Berlin on Tuesday morning.
In a tweet on Monday afternoon, WikiLeaks said Assange's speech in London was moved to Berlin due to 'specific information' but did not elaborate further.

I've got to wonder why the Ecuadorians don't just push him over the balcony the next time he does one of these events...

OP
If he had anything, he would have released it before the convention or right before election day.
