Last night Fox News aired part 1 of a 2-part interview with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Assange noted that they are currently reviewing "thousands of pages of material" related to the Hillary campaign which he described as "significant." When asked whether the new material will be leaked before the November 8th election, Assange responded "yes, absolutely."
“We have a lot of material, thousands of pages of material. There's a variety of different types of documents and different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles that are, you know, quite interesting, some even entertaining.”
We now know that Assange planned the timing of the previous leaks to correspond with the Democratic National Convention which has since resulted in the dismissal of 5 DNC officials, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz. We assume this leak will also be timed to maximize it's effectiveness with speculation swirling that it could be released before one of the scheduled debates in October.
When asked whether the next release could be a "game-changer" in the November Presidential election, Assange replied:
“I think it's significant. You know, it depends on how it catches fire in the public and in the media.”
Certainly the traditional media will stand ready to defend it's chosen candidate and has likely already begun preparations for the expected release.
