Buzz about a 'bud': Clinton camp denies claims she wore earpiece at forum
Fox News ^ | Sept. 8, 2016

Posted on 09/08/2016 9:17:19 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

While Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each generated headlines about comments made Wednesday night at a candidates’ forum, the buzz Thursday morning was more about a report claiming Clinton relied on a “micro” earbud as she fielded questions about national security — a claim her campaign vigorously denied.

The website True Pundit quoted unnamed New York police sources saying Clinton was wearing an “inductive earpiece” during the NBC forum hosted by Matt Lauer. The website described the unit as the kind of tech used by stage actors in need of prompting to recite forgotten lines.

Two senior campaign aides, though, told Fox News the report is absolutely not true.

The frenzied Internet speculation was a throwback to accusations George W. Bush faced after debates in the 2004 campaign that he was wearing a device that may or may not have been used to feed him answers – after photos appeared to show a bulge under the back of his suit jacket.

Bush officials rejected the speculation at the time, and Clinton officials now are doing the same.

In both cases, the candidates had to contend with suspicious-looking photographs. True Pundit published a zoomed-in image of Clinton’s left ear showing a shiny reflection purported to be a stealth communications device.

A memory-canceling ear bud? That could explain a lot.

Looks like it’s protruding to me.

It's a ear bud of some type, you can see it clearly in various pictures where the shiny ear question doesn't wash. But more importantly, when asked about her eMails, did you hear how slow she talked? She was being fed the lines for sure. Also I'm not sure I think I saw a bud in her right ear as well, or should I say I know I did... but I can't find that shot. She had them in both ears, without a doubt!

In her case it could have been a BUD-lite!

The bigger story is that most people don’t trust her and if she is elected this will be another story in an endless string of stories where people refuse to believe what she says. So when a potentially legitimate need to go to war arises she will be hampered in making her case potentially imperiling American security.

That picture appears to be from 20:51 (give or take a few seconds) in this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDTPsnjD-FQ

Watch the video around that time, step through it frame by frame.

I’ve watched the video with the sound off several times focusing on her left ear. At any point of interest I stepped frame by frame, for example at 3:30. I think it’s just skin shine.

I recommend everyone watch the video with the sound off. Clinton’s body language is very aggressive, at times she could barely contain her rage.

Technically that wasn’t a bud.

Top quality ear pieces such as the one pictured are called IEM (In Ear Monitors) and are moulded to fit the users ear canal, fit snuggly, and can be toned to match the skin of the user, and very little outside noise can penetrate. Thus it is not some ear bud from some budget big box store.

Musicians use them extensively.

Trump should say: “It’s probably not true. If she was being coached, she would have given much better answers”.

Nothing to see here.

I'd put absolutely nothing past Hillary. Nothing. But at least one NYPD officer has to step up, on record, and just say what he saw. And we need to see more than just that one picture of the "earpiece". A side picture of Hillary's head would be helpful.

Absent that...you might be right.

Right ear before controversy

Left ear prior to controversy

The controversial left ear photo

The picture clearly shows that there is something in her ear that wasn't there in a different recently taken photographs. What's more, the left ear has a structure undeniably different from the right ear. She has something in her ear.
