This has been a big topic of conversation in my real life, and I'm curious what people on PF think. Assange is saying that this release is targeted specifically to ruin Clintons chances of getting elected and that it will contain emails centering around an 'organization' other than the DNC. Lots of speculation that this is in concert with state sponsored Russian hackers, but I haven't seen any solid evidence supporting it. So what do we think the e-mails will be about? Will it change the course of the election? Is the whole thing a publicity stunt for Wikileaks? Here's an article if your unaware of the issue. It was very hard to find one not put out by a hardcore partisan media outlet, so my apologies if these guys are too slanted for you. And I hope it works, links work for me about 75% of the time for me here. http://www.nationalreview.com/artic...ndation-e-mails-trumps-taxes-october-surprise
Nope the media and DOJ have shown their hand as being all-in for Hilalry Democrat voters will vote Democrat no matter what
I have asked this before, but missed the answer somehow, so beg your indulgence to ask it again. How can we be sure that what Assange releases is genuine? Is there some sort of stamp these things carry and how is that made evident to us?
Nope. Waiting too late. Two weeks before the election would require a dead body or a secret account with billions of dollars in it or a sex tape of Bill with an underage girl. None of those are likely to come from a hacked email.
There are a number of ways. One that pops to mind is taking an email from the hillary archive and comparing it with recipient copies from government archives. If Hillary sends an email to a state.gov recipient, then that email is also on the state.gov server, and will have been properly archived. Comparing the two will validate the Assange release. You can bet your bippy they have already done this to be able to discredit Assange's release.
That wasn't the question the question was will it have any affect on her candidacy and the answer is no Is there anything that could be revealed about Hillary that would get you to NOT vote for her?
Yes of course there is. ...but I doubt anything of that magnitude is going to be revealed on Oct. 25th. If there was any provable revelation on Clinton it would already be out.
As a matter of fact, there is. Being dredged from the bottom of some frothing at the mouth right wing conspiracy site isn't one of them.
First it was "Will Benghazi destroy Clinton?" then it was "Will E-mail-gate destroy Clinton?" then it was "Will the Clinton Foundation destroy Clinton?" Now we're up to "Will some mysterious thing in October destroy Clinton?"
Correct. Hillary could push Obama off the white house roof on CNN and the brainwashed left will say "what evidence? THIS LOL? It's a fake scandal!"
I always did wonder how that thing with Epstein got swept under the rug so quickly. Either it was false and didn't happen, or the political coverups we know all so well have taken their place.
I can't imagine what could be in those e-mails that could change the course of the election because this election isn't about support for Clinton. And it isn't about policy or the future of the country or immigration or anything else. It's about hatred for Trump.
And fear of Trump. Both of which white suburban REPUBLICANS (mostly women) have of him....that won't change in the next 70 days.
You seem surprised. Don't you think there are those in each party that vote for party and not candidate? And each side has those that think the candidate is god like. That is all normal.
Maybe so. However, now more than ever before. It's ridiculous. Anyone denying that probably also thinks Mike Brown was an innocent young boy.
BTW, if The Pattern holds true.... if Wikileaks puts out some damaging thing about Clinton on the morning of October 25th? By lunch-time October 25th?....Trump will kick a puppy and Tweet out that Katie Couric is a "sl*t". And nobody will remember what Wikileaks put out except Drudge and Fox News. - - - Updated - - - Trump sells out on immigration....his CULTISTS remain utterly loyal.
IIRC Trump has some associations with him too so it is a death spiral for anybody to fly into that cloud.
Ok, so Hillary gets 29% of the vote. You really think that she will get elected on just those votes? Republican and Independent voters will be affected by the release. So, I believe that it will matter.
My own little poll (white, urban, middle-class, working PEOPLE) suggests that everybody despises Trump. Only the habitual losers like him.
They wouldn't and that was sec's point. She broke five federal laws and yet they sit on their hands. She lied to congress and yet they sit on their hands. They manufactured this "couldn't prove intent" excuse and then admit they never asked her about intent. Dem President running Dem headed DOJ running Dem populated FBI not bringing charges against the next Dem overlord even when every single bit of evidence proved she broken five federal laws regarding national security. A-(*)(*)(*)(*)ING-MAZING isn't it? Yet another famous radicalized extremists Democrat tried to hang 6 cops for a murder that never happened with over 300,000 pieces of evidence proving it didn't ...yet charges still got filed and trials still occurred. What a thing it must be ...to be a Democrat ...and have to follow in locked goosestep with this bull(*)(*)(*)(*).
since it is so close to election day, it most likely will be something that will give a knee jerk reaction to voters to not vote for hillary.
