At least once the information is dumped people will be given a second chance.
But can you trust the information.
A guy who gave up his normal life to inform the folks in the US, to the dishonesty and shady dealings of it's own government?
Forgive me if I put a bit more weight on the material that this guy has to offer...
YMMV

Timing is always key. Why now?
If the leaks are about Hilary and depict events that happened some time ago, then why wait 'til now?
Could it be be because it's so late in the electoral race?
If they'd been released before Hilary's selection then the Dems could've selected another candidate. The damage would've been solely on Hilary, whereas now it is the Dem party that is sunk in terms of this election.
The counter argument is that they could've left the release until even closer the election - that perhaps the Dems may still have time to recover.
The number one question here is motive: Is it to keep a 'potentially' crooked Hilary out, or is it to get a 'potentially' already sold-out Trump in.
Holding onto the leak until now suggests to me that it's more about sinking the Dems, so that Trump gets in.
Btw, Great publicity for the Oliver Stone movie coming out in September...just saying
He needed to make sure someone got that piece of information- and he had to do it in such a way that the person getting the information couldn't possibly be singled out as the recipient. That makes it private.

I have read through this entire thread, so if I missed this info can someone link it for me? The premise of the OP is that new leaks will happen soon...from whom, where, and when is this timetable of "soon" attributable?

WikiLeaks Recently Released a Torrent Titled “WikiLeaks Insurance”
On Friday morning, WikiLeaks made a big announcement. “Protect our coming publications,” WikiLeaks wrote on its Twitter account. It provided a link for where people could download a torrent file called WIKILEAKS INSURANCE 2016-06-03. The file is listed as being 88 Gb. An insurance file is typically an unredacted version of a file that WikiLeaks is planning to release.
WikiLeaks posts insurance files as a type of “deadman’s switch.” Downloaders get an encryption key, but they need a second one before they can actually unlock the file. The insurance file operates as a type of backup. If anything happens to WikiLeaks, the second key is released, giving everyone access to the file.
On a Reddit thread about the drop, posters theorized that the file was likely 88 GB (gigabytes) not 88 Gb (gigabits). The 88 GB size would be a huge size and might indicate that the file includes videos and other larger documents. Or, as one person on Reddit theorized, it may contain some junk files to fill up space, or it may actually be more than 88 GB if any files are compressed. What’s in the file is all speculation, since no one has the second key to decrypt the file.
WikiLeaks Has Released Insurance Files Before
This isn’t the first time that WikiLeaks has posted an insurance file. Sometimes, the encrypted insurance file has far more sensitive, non-redacted information that governments and others would not want released. That’s why the insurance file provides incentive that allows WikiLeaks to move forward on a planned announcement or file drop.
In February 2012, for example, WikiLeaks released an insurance file. In an interview about the insurance file with Eric Scmidt, Julian Assange said: “We openly distribute … encrypted backups of materials that we view are highly sensitive that we are to publish in the coming year… So that there is very little possibility that that material, even if we are completely wiped out, will be taken from the historical record… Ideally, we will never reveal the key… Because there is things, like, … redactions sometimes need to be done on this material.”
