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.

Trump [...] is high-status because of the money and political connections he inherited.
"Many have asked who's to blame for Donald Trump and I'll tell you who. He's sitting right there, that guy, Mark Burnett", said Jimmy Kimmel at the 2016 Emmys. "Thanks to Mark Burnett we don't have to watch reality shows any more, we're living in one."
Years ago, we in California got Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger simply because people recognized his name on the ballot and put a mark beside his name.
...though they knew nothing about his politics and there was no evidence that he had any experience to indicate that he was capable of running a state.

I voted for him and I have to say, he's better than Gray Davis or Jerry Brown, the governors before and after, which I guess is damning with faint praise. As to his experience, he is a successful businessman with a pretty good track record going back to the 70s and he ran a pretty good campaign.
