Mark this date. It was on October 28, 2016 Comey "reopened" the investigation of Secretary Clinton over her emails. Some, if not many, have suggested this act was critical to Chump getting into office. Chump maybe stupid, but Barr isn't. In 2016 this reopening was 11 days before the election. Given that timing, expect Barr to drop some electoral bomb/investigation probably a week earlier, perhaps October 21, 2020. 11 days of marinating BS just prior to the election. Forewarned is prepared.

Oh you know Barr will! Made up from whole cloth, for sure. And I expect it to be vile.

It's what they do. Hopefully we'll be ready for it this time, and it'll be smothered on arrival.

Clinton had decades of disinformation against her. Biden does’t have that and it’s too late to change that now. It takes a long time for disinformation to be effective. The October surprise can be against trump though - e.g. release of incriminating tape of trump with underage girls at one of epstein’s houses. That would be quite helpful.

On the first, I think you're right, nothing is like it ever was now and this time people know it can mean their lives. It will only serve to prove how filthy the Rs are, seriously. Everybody knows they are cheaters and are hip to the stink of their shit.

One the second, if it is about -45, I bet pooty has the tape of -45 raping that girl on E's plane, she filed but dropped charges after being threatened. Also, now that Cruella has been captured and might talk, things are a little tense in certain circles, the victims are ready to talk some more.

I keep my seatbelt fastened at all times anymore.

dropped the bounty for American troop deaths early so I figure they've got something else lined up for October. There's no love lost between the intelligence agencies and trump—he of the no reading of the PDB which they prepare daily, and also he with the third grade attention span who can't be briefed.

The Biden camp and the Lincoln Project nevr-trumpers are probably saving some bombshells too.
