Related: About this forumIt's past 5:00 EST: HRC Drop Your Oppo. Please?
Mother Jones just dropped the story about the DNC bugging at precisely closing time. That was for a reason. Realistically the last opportunity for a government originated story ended at 5:00. It would make sense for team HRC to keep powder dry, just in case a letter was sent by runner to congress. But now the clock has struck 5.
So, Deep Throat Trench Coat Wearing Person, it's time. Gotta get the story in before 7pm EST so people watching the news catch it. I'm not calling a shot here, but my feeling is that after 7pm tonight, if the story didn't drop then they don't possess the story.
There's plenty of good news, though. In general this news cycle was very favorable to HRC. Unemployment down, Mosul going good, Bridgegate Guilty, Crypt-Keeper Guiliani makes an ass of himself, Sununu farts out a sexually disparaging remark in NEW HAMPSHIRE, and polling trend lines look much better today, especially in NV and CO.
I'll take the day so far. But Mr. Spymaster, Helloooooooooooo.

"Unfortunately, Trump and the Apprentice producers were able to suppress the N word videos-so it doesn't look like we'll be seeing those."

(3,814 posts)this would've been it, because numerous reliable sources have stated it was coming.
Liz Mair hinted that it is something that may've required Dem donors to cover a non-discloure agreement (NDA) type of lawsuit, and maybe they didn't think it was worth the money, and/or the media (and the donors) were afraid of being sued by the orange fascist, who has sued various outlets (Dailymail and others) over damaging stories.
The media on some level not only wants a close horserace, but is also afraid of Trump, I hate to say it, they have no stones to stand up and tell the truth.

(1,580 posts)After all we wouldn't want the dump to happen and find out they didn't dot their I's and cross their T's. we wouldn't want a blow back or walk back that gives the impression it was made up and looks like Trump is being set up.

It is super effective - especially with Pence's comments
