Today was supposed to be the day that Julian Assange ended Hillary Clinton’s chances at the White House, emphasis on supposed to, with a big reveal of damaging new information from WikiLeaks. Except that’s not what happened and the early-morning presentation turned into what amounted to a 10-year-anniversary highlight reel and fundraising pitch with nothing at all on Clinton:

Assange tried to claim that he’d been misquoted by the U.S. media:

Yeah, that’s not going to fly:
Reporter: You said your leaks would lead to Hillary Clinton's indictment.
Assange: Says Who?
Reporter: Your statements.
Assange: Says who?— Max Burns (@themaxburns) October 4, 2016
Alex Jones from InfoWars.com was particulary incensed at Assange’s lack of new information to bring down Hillary Clinton, reportedly calling the WikiLeaks founder a “cuck” and a “butt plug”:
Release the documents NOW @wikileaks! We only have a month before #Election2016 comes to an end! #Wikirolled #TrumpvsHillary

@hboulware Did I hear them call Assange a "cuck"?

Yes, he did in fact call him a butt plug, a jelly donut fop, and a cuck. https://t.co/GFrxvLYoVn

We’ve been trolled, that’s for sure:
Julian Assange has just pissed of the Internet this morning. Not good. #OctoberSurprise #wikileaks10

Best troll ever: Assange asking why I'm up at 4am, while I'm wondering why I'm up at 4am, after he told me to be up at 4am. #OctoberSurprise

And how soon until we see this theory?
@hboulware @lizbuddie I'm waiting for the "He was afraid Hillary would kill him" tweets.

Prediction: Soon.
