October Surprise: Wikileaks’ Julian Assange Disappoints Hillary Haters with Non-Release
Appearing in Berlin on the 10th anniversary of Wikileaks, co-founder Julian Assange did not release, as promised by Trump friend Roger Stone, documents that would “bring down” Hillary Clinton’s , but promised instead to soon release documents “significant” to the U.S. elections.
Wednesday@HillaryClinton is done. #Wikileaks.

Assange said the organization would be releasing documents regularly for the next 10 weeks on topics related to Google, surveillance, oil, and arms.
Regarding Clinton, Assange said:
“There’s been a lot of misquoting of me and WikiLeaks publications. In this particular case, the misquoting has to do with that we intend, or I intend, to harm Hillary Clinton or that I don’t like Hillary Clinton. All those are false. They come about as a result it seems of this and those who are trying to personalize our publications.”
He added: “I feel sorry for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. They are two people that are tormented by their ambitions.”
The internet was not impressed by Assange’s October surprise:
The #OctoberSurprise can only be released during the Unicorn Moon via the blood of the first born leprechaun …oh, and his book is on sale.

A justified #OctoberSurprise would be Julian Assange extradited to Sweden to face his accusers in his sex assault case.
