October Surprise?

Is the unsealing of the Trump prosecutor brief the October Surprise?

In every modern presidential election, there is what has become known as the “October Surprise.” It has become such a regular part of the late election season that it is only a surprise if there is not one.

In years gone by, the surprise was some unanticipated and unplanned event – such as the economic crash that catapulted Barack Obama into the presidency over John McCain.

Sometimes the surprise is the result of a dubious action by a person or agency with an arguably partisan perspective – such as FBI Director Comey’s reopening the Hillary Clinton case on the eve of the 2016 election, only to abruptly close it again.

Now we have the unsealing of the 190-page prosecutorial brief against President Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

There is only one reason Smith asked the brief to be unsealed in October – and Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to do so – and that is to influence the outcome of the presidential race to Trump’s detriment.
