Wikileaks has abruptly canceled a much-anticipated announcement on Tuesday. The announcement had been expected to be founder Julian Assange's long-promised document dump on Hillary Clinton.
NBC's Jesse Rodriguez reported that the Tuesday announcement — which was to come from the balcony of London's Ecuadorian Embassy, where Assange has sought sanctuary for years – was canceled due to security concerns.
Wikileaks has not said when it will now make its announcement.

I dunno. Maybe its the hundreds of millions of republican directed tax dollars spent investigating the living shit out of her and her husband that have turned up nothing more than a blowjob.

Typical intertard conspiracy logic. Lack of proof is proof!

Perhaps, but used dresses covered in jizz are not so easily silenced :)

If that's all you think has been uncovered then you have only been exposed to CTR'd sources, or you're deliberately lying to mislead.

Actually, unlike yourself, I've spent hours looking at the minutiae of what's been uncovered and all I've found is typical human crap. No murders, no criminality, just stuff that looks bad from afar but up close and in context is just the normal result of an imperfect human with a lot of governing responsibilities who has spent 25+ years being constantly raked over the coals like practically no one else in a similar position.
When Toni Morrison said Bill Clinton was the first black president, [theatlantic.com] it was not praise for him, it was an indictment of people like you.

Hardly. Just like the other poster said, there is nothing on Clinton. I dislike her completely, but for corruption and political reasons. That corruption is out in the open and legalized via "speaking fees" and "campaign contributions", and is functionally no different than all of the other bipartisan corruption.
Out of all the investigations, I never heard a damn fucking thing that made sense. Literally, the only single argument that holds water at all, is she mishandled email. That still, is no where near the level of crime she is repeatedly accused of.
Let's remember, that God Emperor Trump is accused of far worse like raping a 12 year old girl in front of a 14 year old girl and threatening to kill them both if they said anything. Far from simple hearsay, he has a long time association with a convicted and well known sexual predator of young girls (Jeffrey Epstein) and was placed at the scene and spent much time with this man.
That holds as much water with me as any Clinton investigation, and unlike Clinton investigations, it has been swept under the rug.
Other than the email, give out some fucking facts about Hillary Clinton beyond conspiracy theories. Try this one: She worked for Wallmart for 5 years as an executive. That's far more damaging than any of your bullshit, but by all means continue.
Like the other poster stated, how have the Clintons survived nearly continuous criminal investigations their whole lives? FFS, even Al Capone didn't outlast criminal investigations forever.

> She worked for [Walmart] for 5 years as an executive.
Almost--she was on the board of directors for six years.
Officials at the time said she wasn't filling a vacancy. In May 1992 [...] she resigned from the board of Wal-Mart. Company officials said at the time that they weren't going to fill her vacancy.
said the Village Voice [villagevoice.com].
A 2008 ABC review of videotapes [go.com] from Walmart meetings found that "Clinton remained silent as the world's largest retailer waged a major campaign against labor unions seeking to represent store workers."
"She was not a dissenter," one of her fellow board members told [latimes.com] the Los Angeles Times in 2007. "She was a part of those decisions."
