Is all of these Trump/Russia revelations the drop Rick Wilson was hinting at?

Because if it is, it sure isn't making much traction. I have checked CNN, MSNBC, and no mention other than several stories down, Manafort. Facebook, Daily Kos has it, but not much chatter about it all.

I'm hoping it's just because everyone is out having fun for Halloween and it will get more interest by tomorrow. I know Russia and Trump isn't nearly as titillating as emails that are probably duplicates.

Wilson made a cryptic reference to Russia when he tweeted the other day that the Comey letter WASN'T the final October surprise.

All major news orgs just got hit with all of this at once. They are processing it and chasing down all the info themselves.

The "re-opening" of the Clinton-email investigation didn't involve any 'processing', nor did the audio clip of Trump chatting with Billy Bush.

Not one has mentioned the server and it's not on any website, at least when I checked awhile ago.

Emails are so much more corrupt than a server connected to Russian inside Trump tower. Jeez.

In one of her tweets while discussing upcoming possible bombshells, she says to look at NDA's (non-disclosure agreements) between Trump and various women. See here:

In a subsequent tweet she says that "the Russia stuff is important", "the tax stuff is interesting", but "not as big ticket as at least one thing out there". See here:

Many have guessed about something explosive in NDA's, and I think this likely confirms that. What exactly this is has been the subject of much discussion. I do not know what it may be, but guessing.......maybe abortion related (conforms with theories that the bombshell would turn off evangelical voters), maybe something related to assaults......I don't know. I would like some of you to make an educated guess.

"It wasn't. Move on."

he also seems to think there will be more on the russia stuff, but i don't think it's one of the bombshells that's been alluded to. he hinted the other night that trumps treatment of women has been hit on hard for the last 3 weeks for a reason. makes me think that if there actually is something else out there then it's related to that.

This obsession with emails that are a big giant question mark speculating it into something when it's still nothing is frustrating.

Media giving Trump a total free pass for days and days now.
