Roger Stone's tweet Saturday night, citing "Wednesday@HillaryClinton is done #WikiLeaks did not happen.

Stone, a prominent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, even granted several interviews regarding what some anticipated could be an October surprise. Everyone was anticipating the publishing of documents supposedly to be released by WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange last Wednesday. A WikiLeaks tweet detailed Tuesday's press conference would proceed while the reported dramatic London balcony address was moved to Berlin due to "specific information" which might have to do with Assange's safety.

The supposed "death blow" as Stone repeatedly said, was a complete let down. Mainstream media were bombarded with appeals for donations. They even pitched their books at 40 percent off. It is their 10th founding year after all.

This did not sit well with Trump supporters. All were anticipating for Assange to present vital information that could potentially obliterate the Clinton campaign.

At one point in the more than two hours "infomercial," Assange said "If we are going to make a major publication about the U.S., we wouldn't do it at 3 a.m.," as quoted from The Washington Post.

Those who are waiting for an October surprise might have to wait a little longer. Assange said he would release documents every week for the next 10. Some, he said, will have a bearing on the coming U.S. elections. No one really knows just yet if some of those documents pose a serious impact that will undermine Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. All he said was "We think they're significant."

Pressed on what those documents will reveal and when Assange wouldn't say

If there was one thing everyone who was up, Republican and Democrat alike could agree upon, it was that everyone was taken for a ride. Pro-Trump and Infowars radio host Alex Jones realized in the end, he too had been played. Alternatively, as he puts it, #wikirolled.
