With Roger Stone and Assange in cahoots, Hillary should prepare for an "October surprise"

[Blue_Tires]

With Roger Stone and Julian Assange in cahoots, Hillary Clinton should prepare for an October surprise.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has made no secret of his distaste for Clinton. As Robert Mackey noted in The Intercept, “In recent months, the WikiLeaks Twitter feed has started to look more like the stream of an opposition research firm working mainly to undermine Hillary Clinton than the updates of a non-partisan platform for whistleblowers.” If Assange is acting like an oppo researcher, then it’s not a surprise that he’s hooked up with someone who knows all the secrets of playing dirty political tricks: Roger Stone, who is Donald Trump’s unofficial adviser and a legendary “rat-fucker” with a history of campaign shenanigans going back to the Nixon years.

As Media Matters reports, in a speech at the Southwest Broward Republican Organization yesterday, the following exchange took place between Roger Stone and an audience member:

QUESTIONER: With regard to the October surprise, what would be your forecast on that given what Julian Assange has intimated he’s going to do?

ROGER STONE: Well, it could be any number of things. I actually have communicated with Assange. I believe the next tranche of his documents pertain to the Clinton Foundation but there’s no telling what the October surprise may be.

WikiLeaks is good at ferreting out information and Roger Stone is good at presenting that information in the worst possible light. The alliance between Assange and Stone should keep the Clinton campaign worried until election day.

Anytime DUers want to tell me I've been right about Assange and his cronies all along, just go right ahead!

EDIT: And the irony of the Intercept talking about Assange's Hillary Derangement Syndrome is too much for me to digest... FWIW, that writer is brand new, so he may not realize Greenwald's twitter account is just as bad, if not worse at times...

1. FBI might get warrant to eavesdrop on Stone - sweet justice if he is indicted.

2. If they really had anything, they would not be

telegraphing right now.

8. that's a good point.

3. Thanks for the info. Stone is one viscious heavy-duty lying slime-ball.

I put nothing past him. (And his secret buddy Putin) Don't think much of Assange either. Obviously driven by Hillary-Hate. I will say Assange is likely to get bitten by these two snakes.

4. It's called an October "SURPRISE', not an October "TEASE" for a reason.

If they had something, they'd keep quiet until October. So it would be a real surprise. I think they are just doing what they can to distract from their incompetence.

5. I sure hope they'll release the "whitey tape" while they're at it.

6. "Well, it could be any number of things." IOW, he doesn't know shit.

Julian Assange. He's right up there with Blue Tarp-Man for the year's most ridiculous human being.

Well, Meredith McIver might give him a run for his money.

Julian Assange Floats Theory Murdered DNC Employee Was Informant In Dutch Interview



WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange floated the possibility on Tuesday that a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer was an informant for the organization.

“Whistleblowers often take very significant efforts to bring us material and often at very significant risks,” Assange said in an interview on to be aired Tuesday with the Dutch television program Nieuwsuur. “There’s a 27-year-old who works for the DNC and who was shot in the back, murdered, just a few weeks ago, for unknown reasons as he was walking down the streets in Washington.”

Seth Rich, a DNC employee who did voter outreach, was shot to death last month early in the morning in Washington, D.C. The case is unsolved and Washington, D.C., police have speculated it was an attempted robbery.

9. Good gravy, man! Someone was killed in Washington DC and this is the first we're hearing about it?

10. And evidently his murder might be connected to the DNC hack/theft/leak

Of course Assange doesn't come out and directly say that, he only casually implies it in a classic non-accusation accusation...

He also announced on twitter a $20,000 reward for any information about the shooting...FFS...

He's good, I'll give him that...

[RAFisher]

11. Why do people believe Stone? He lies all the time. That's his job. This isn't news.

[Blue_Tires]

12. Well, saying publicly that he's been talking to Assange is pretty big news

because it implies collusion.

And Assange hasn't denied it, either...

13. Family response:

Brad Bauman, a spokesperson working for Rich's family, said that while help tracking down Rich's killers is welcome, the speculation is not.

"[S]ome are attempting to politicize this horrible tragedy, and in their attempts to do so, are actually causing more harm than good and impeding on the ability for law enforcement to properly do their job. For the sake of finding Seth's killer, and for the sake of giving the family the space they need at this terrible time, they are asking for the public to refrain from pushing unproven and harmful theories about Seth's murder," Bauman said.
