I REALLY hate to be the one to hypothesize this , but here is one possible way that the "findingassange.com" website could be a trap:
The website delivers the 15,000 emails and two Insurance Files on schedule.
They appear to be authentic
Everybody goes nuts, using the contents of the data dump to launch the biggest lynch mob the world has ever seen.
Our friendly neighborhood Intelligence Agency (CIA for example) then announces that careful forensic examination of the files proves them to be extremely sophisticated forgeries, such clever forgeries that only a "State Player" would have the financial resources technical capability to pull it off (Russia for example)
Our own careful forensic examination eventually determines that the files have indeed been fucked with. Although MUCH of the incriminating CONTENT revealed in the files appears to be both true and authentic the SOURCES of the files have been altered (in a manner that only a real expert could detect) to make them appear to have come from ..... you guessed it ...... Russia.
To make matters worse, SOME of the most outrageously salacious content ( the kind most likely to spread out through the internet social networks fastest and hottest ) are just straight up bullshit forgeries.
The FORGED (false) documents will be the ones that our friendly neighborhood law enforcement agencies actually investigate, and of course the alleged crimes will be quickly PROVEN to be total frame-ups.
These FALSELY alleged crimes, now exposed as total forgeries, will then be used to discredit ALL of the evidence in the 15,000 emails and 2 insurance files.
The bad guys can now cast serious doubt on any and all crimes exposed in all of the documents.
The good guys look like gullible assholes.
CIA puts Hillary in the Whitehouse.
Our job becomes infinitely more difficult, sifting the wheat from the chaff and being forced to find NEW evidence for everything, because the old evidence has been rendered pretty useless.
Anything is plausible, however maybe this is exactly the type of mentality they want you to have thanks to the insane campaign to discredit already, so you won't touch it. That's a plausible theory as well
I think that having (perhaps) millions of eyes on the "findingassange" website is already a given. I think it is also a given that in the new "meme war" reality of our times that the mere fact so many people will see it, and believe its implications regardless of what may or may not be released, that a significant part of its psychological value has already been realized.
There are only a few ways this thing can go. It behooves us to prepare for EACH of those "plausible" eventualities. Control events when you can. Be prepared to roll with them when you can't.

Is this scenario plausible ?
