A bit suspicious right before the US election, maybe it's under attack. We'll find out soon enough.

Right after WikiLeaks released the last batch of DNC/Podesta/Clinton emails, the most damning ones... Hmm...

  What, specifically, is damning?

  Just as I was sending something to Katie Couric, too.

  Release a huge pile of emails no one will have time to vet, the day before an election, after millions have already voted. A fiendishly diabolical plan, Mr. Assange! Check, mate, and match!
  - jsprogrammer 10y ago
    DNC could have gone open source at anytime. They choose not to.
    - idlewords 10y ago
      These are private emails. Why don't you go 'open source' with your email account?
      - jgome 10y ago
        Private emails... From political parties, public representatives and lobbyists. These are VERY PUBLIC people. IMO, these people should not enjoy having a private life in the first place, because, as the Podesta emails show, they end up using their political career as a way to get more money and power, NOT to serve the People.

        I doubt WikiLeaks wants them. Know how to make a Gmail account public? Maybe I could crowd source people to clean up all the spam?
        drdeca 10y ago
        Well, you probably don't want it continually open, because then you can't use it for authentication? If you did want it public, you could probably set up an ifttt recipe to post them all somewhere? Oh, alternate idea: set up a thing to forward all the emails to e.g. a tumblr "email to post" address? Something like that. Edit: wait I think ifttt calls them "applets" now instead of recipes?

  > the most damning ones.. It doesn't really seem so, or at least they seem no better or worse than what's been released already. Trump supporters have been waiting months for the Wikileaks bombshell, October^H^H^H^H^H^H^H, errr.. November surprise, that will destroy Hillary and put her behind bars, implicating her in arms sales, pay for play access to the government, treason and if you follow the crazies, pedophile child trafficking and satanic cults. Each time, the next batch is going to be the one with the damning information that brings her down, and each batch it's more of the same. Sure, the contents don't speak well of Hillary, her team, or the media (and I think based on her actions she probably shouldn't be allowed near any sort of classified information again), but these are not the damning bombshells people have been fantasizing about, and those bombshells likely don't exist, because if they did, they would have been released well before millions of people had already voted, and not on the eve of the election.

    > if they did, they would have been released well before millions of people had already voted, and not on the eve of the election. Assange has claimed multiple times, that he thinks these elections are a farce... Perhaps he knows some things you and me don't. BTW, I'm not a trump supporter (not even a US citizen), but I don't think Clinton is better than him, at least for the rest of the world. Trump talks a lot, but his administration will probably be more or less the continuation of the Bush/Obama policies, particularly the foreign policy...

      > I'm not a trump supporter (not even a US citizen) Me too! With Hillary I think American foreign policy will definitely be a continuation (she was the person in charge of it for 4 years), and that's not such a good thing for the rest of the world. At least with Trump there is the possibility that things could change. I also quite like his ideas around addressing corruption in politics, though again as you mentioned, whether or not he'd be able to actually do anything about it if elected is a different matter entirely.

Very possible, a few places are already predicting it. All the major news stations would love that scenario. Each station gets to broadcast the news they want to say without that pesky little social media providing information that may counter what they are saying.
