Eric Swalwell on the October surprise.



Tweet text: Eric Swalwell
@ericswalwell

US House candidate, CA-15
I knew they‘d try an “October surprise;” I didn’t think it would be an “October 2016 surprise.”

Secretary of State Pompeo has announced he will release more of Hillary Clinton's emails, despite the State Department concluding there was no "persuasive evidence" of widespread mishandling of classified information by Clinton or her aides https://cnn.it/3nxlXXb

Those "oldies" didn't actually sway a very big part of the electorate the first time.
Comey, Stein, and the arcana of the EC related to 3 states & 70,000 votes was why it won in '16.
So relying on the "hits" that weren't really hits, 4 years later is doubly stupid.
