Kim DotCom: The @Wikileaks nuke to end @HillaryClinton is yet to come.

Link to tweet

The @Wikileaks nuke to end @HillaryClinton is yet to come. @realDonaldTrump might fall in love with Internet freedom & transparency #Huge


I don't mean to concern troll, but I'm starting to get nervous. Kim Dot Com is well connected and was right about the previous leaks.

We cannot afford to have Donald Trump as President... hoping something doesn't come of this.


Edit: He also just tweeted this at Paul Manafort:

What if HC email server was hacked? What if all deleted HC emails are released on October 26th? Happy Birthday?


This whole Russian operative thing is starting to sound 100% true.

She said on TV today that DWS stepping down was preventive because the DNC expects more releases and far more damning details

I'm wondering if they got anything off clinton's private server that isn't Yoga related and might prove embarrassing down the road.
Clinton Foundation documents, HRCs personal stuff or deleted work e-mails

If it is the Russians and they're working to help trump I doubt they led with anything more than a jab

And it ain't good news.

DWS and the email crap has been at the top of my Google news for a few hours now. And it will be incessantly discussed by TV talking heads during the convention as well.

Well, I don't have much sway within the party or the media. I just tap tap on my keyboard from time to time.

The bigger question is how are the the DNC and the Clinton campaign going to handle it. One would think they would want to downplay it and not take the bait from the media (like Bernie did today with Chuck Todd). Unfortunately, the "resignation" of DWS shines a bright light on the whole thing.

Let's hope a well run convention diverts attention away from it.

this is a lot of bluster because someone is disappointed in the results of these last leaks. Oh? They only fired DWS? That's it?! Where was Hillary's resignation? The huge surge in Trump's polls? Bernie's still endorising her! Wamp wamp.

I looked at his Twitter. One cheesburger away from a cardiac arrest and part of the "I'm rich so let it all burn" crowd.

Definitely pro Putin/Trump.

How could these people who are supposedly for a free and open internet, support Trump? It's not about internet freedom, it's about subverting the United States' moral high ground and national security apparatus, maybe with Trump as Putin's ultimate pawn. All this time they said Obama was the Manchurian Candidate...

It's all starting to come together. I thought it was all conspiracy theory, but it's starting to look less and less likely.

I suspect that some of these emails are bogus. If the authenticity of any of them is challenged, then the game changes. The people who dump these things are not usually very good at actually proving things when they are challenged to do so. Their MO is to just dump the stuff as if the stuff is self-authenticating.

Who are these people? They should be challenged to come forward and to prove that their documents are all authentic. Doubt is their kryptonite.
