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.

“Trump at the first debate: Before we start Lester, can we inspect Hillary’s ears? “


No, no, no, NO FRIGGIN’ WAY!

That’ll come off as bullying.

Better is for Trump’s people to get the frequency that this earbud operates on, and to have him carry a concealed jammer on to the stage with him. Just jam the thing, make it useless - and watch her make an even bigger fool of herself.

Maybe she’ll need a “bathroom break,” during which they switch earbuds and frequencies...OK, fine - and it should be obvious if this is done, in a number of ways.

Best part - if the jamming works, the Clinton campaign and media cannot complain. It’d be like the thief complaining that he was robbed. Also, if they DO complain, then Trump looks a lot smarter. Win, win, win (for Trump, not Cankles).

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

Excellent! Ronald Reagan would have said something like that.

Why Hillary is a regular “Goldfinger.” James Bond Trump needs to come along and turn up the squelch and tell her she’s now “going to loose!”

“Clinton camp denies claims she wore earpiece at forum

Clinton camp denies claims she withheld any e-mails “


Bill Clinton still denies that getting a hummer is “sexual relations.”

Well I was being somewhat facetious. I don’t know if he can get away with a jammer.

But I agree with you overall. If Hillary shows any health problems at the debates, such as a coughing attack, Trump should just stand there and not say a thing.

Probably pulled due to copyright violation.

Here is another video. There is about 2:40 additional footage at the beginning of this video compared to the other. (therefor reference to time index 20:51 in the original video equates to 23:31 in this new video, give or take)

There is absolutely no way that image can be duplicated with lighting. NONE! The surface of the object clearly shows it has a different reflectivity than the skin of her ear. The bright spot on the object is from the back or fill lighting on the stage.

I don’t know what it is, but I can guarantee with 100% certainty it is an object and not her Skin or caused from lighting, reflection, refraction.

Ok. It may be, I don’t think it is. We’ll see.

I’ve watched the video several times, stepping frame by frame through any area of interest. Have you? Or are you going to take the word of a recently registered website pumping a story based upon a single frame grab?

Trust but verify. Watch the video for yourself.

I have been wondering about the coughing thing. Since we now know she’s got a micro transmitter in her ear I think we have to consider that it could be a stalling tactic so her handlers have time to feed her the right information through the ear piece. We have to consider that she has been faking it the whole time.
