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.

Or maybe he is working up an obvious fake that can be debunked in a matter of a few days or weeks to make her appear as more of a victim/sympathetic figure and further add to the tagline "Hillary has been targeted for decades but nobody has ever found anything that sticks"

No. Assange has a major hard-on for clinton. Its been obvious for quite a while. He's got no particular reason to like her, and lots of reasons to hate her since she's probably involved, at a minium as a figurehead as secretary of state, wrt to his effective imprisonment for however many years he's been holed up in that embassy. If he's secretly been rooting for her all this time, its one of the greatest long cons ever played.
