"SNIP.......
I think everyone remembers that Rudy Giuliani played a significant role in the Trump presidential campaign and was especially visible during the last month or so. On Oct. 25, 2016, he made a couple of TV appearances in which he hinted broadly that the campaign had an October surprise coming.
On "Fox & Friends" he was asked if Trump had anything planned other than "inspiring rallies" and he said "yes" (at the 8:50 mark). When asked what that was, he responded this way:
Heh-heh-heh, Mr. Giuliani laughed. Youll see.
Appearing to enjoy his own coy reply, Mr. Giuliani resumed chuckling: Ha-ha-ha.
When will this happen? Ms. Earhardt asked.
We got a couple of surprises left, Mr. Giuliani said, smiling.

EVAN PEREZ, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Now, we know that, obviously, the FBI has been conducting this e-mail investigation that took over a year; but behind the scenes, there's also been several investigations that were ongoing in four different offices Los Angeles, Little Rock, Washington, and New York into allegations of impropriety in the Clinton Foundation.
And behind the scenes, because some agents thought that things weren't moving fast enough, they they started believing conspiracies that, perhaps, politics were at play. And back here at headquarters in Washington, there was an effort to try to make sure that the the agents had what they thought they had that they had the goods to bring some kind of investigation, to make to make it a full-blown investigation.
It turns out that a lot of what they had, Carol, was based on this book called Clinton Cash. It was published by Peter Schweizer, and he's now an editor at at Breitbart. But a lot of a lot of the allegations in there have not been substantiated. The FBI headquarters here in Washington and Justice Department prosecutors thought that the the agents needed to do a lot more work. So, what you have is a lot of misunderstanding and a lot of innuendo as to what exactly was going on, Carol.
