12. Predicted this one a couple of weeks ago.

They would have to find an outlet that is pretty gullible (not hard) and create a credible source for the documents. I'm guessing it will be alleged to be someone who was in the McCain campaign since they are one of the few known to have seen them.

Watch for things like obscure pages of forms that didn't exist in that year's returns, traced signatures, etc..
