Two sections from today’s Morning Jolt, because it’s just that good.
Wiki-Squeaks
Does it feel like Julian Assange is always promising that the really big revelations are just around the corner?
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange vowed Tuesday that the online publishing organization would publish “significant” secret information related to the United States presidential election — and that it would do so before Nov. 8.
Assange made the comments via video link from London to Berlin as part of a news conference to mark WikiLeaks’ 10th anniversary.
He said WikiLeaks intends to start “publishing every week for the next 10 weeks” material on weapons, war, Google, the election and other topics, but did not otherwise elaborate on the timing or the subject matter of the documents.
He knows the election is November 8, right? There’s a calendar with America’s Election Day listed somewhere in that embassy, right?
Roger Stone, Trump’s longtime friend and confidante, says he has “total confidence that WikiLeaks and my hero Julian Assange will educate the American people soon.” Well, okay then!
Does he know early voting is going on? As of Monday, 129,801 Americans had already cast a ballot. That pace is going to pick up quickly in the coming weeks. By Election Day 2012, 46 million Americans had voted early.
If you have some sort of bombshell revelation that will change voters minds, why would you hold onto it?
Every week, WikiLeaks should just link to this video:
Gonna let you down, gonna run around and desert you; gonna make you cry, gonna say goodbye, gonna tell a lie and hurt you…
