| [Bus Insider] A well-respected author, who has been called the "premier futurist in the national security environment" by The Wall Street Journal, thinks that we won't have to wait too much longer for an "October Surprise" that could have major implications for the presidential election. "I don't think we're going to have to wait until October," Dr. Peter Singer, a strategist at the think tank New America and the author of "Ghost Fleet," told Business Insider. "There's clearly more to come." Singer spoke with Business Insider about the ongoing leaks from the massive hack into the Democratic National Committee by two different Russia-linked hacker groups. A hacker calling himself "Guccifer 2.0" initially posted an opposition research file on Donald Trump before moving on to embarrassing emails within the DNC and personal-contact information for House Democrats. Many in the Democratic Party are fearing the release of documents that could be much worse. |

| #2 The dems know what might be out there, but they can't get ahead of the story without admitting that whatever is leaked is legit. |
