Dirty tricks alleged as the campaign heats up
Hillary Clinton’s campaign offices around the country have been put on alert after at least two women approached Iowa staff under the guise of being supporters in an apparent effort to catch the campaign engaging in improper or illegal activity, a Clinton campaign official said.
The motivations of the women is not known, but their alleged techniques match those of Project Veritas, the conservative group run by James O’Keefe, which specializes in undercover stings meant to embarrass liberal groups and politicians. The group declined to comment on the Clinton campaign’s allegations. “Project Veritas does not comment on investigations, real or imagined,” said Daniel Pollack, the director of communications for the group.
A Clinton campaign official alleges that the women engaged in several efforts to entrap supporters. In one scheme, described by Clinton staff, a woman attempted to pass a cash donation to Clinton volunteers and interns. In another, a woman approached the campaign on Aug. 19 and said both her parents had donated to Clinton the legal maximum of $2700 each and wanted to funnel an additional donation through their daughter, a violation of federal law. On Aug. 13, a woman claiming to be Canadian approached another Clinton fellow to ask how to falsify an address for a campaign donation.

Paranoia?
You mean like Woodward and Bernstein "embarrassed" Nixon investigating his criminal wrongdoing?
Everything they’re saying probably really did happen. And the campaign took the money. Now they’re covering for themselves in case it gets out.
And, if they’re not doing anything wrong why would they need to be on alert for someone trying to catch them doing something wrong?
And what was the result of these activities? Did the Klintoon people bite/
Probably wise -- considering the stuff she says in public, imagine the stuff she wants no outsiders to hear.
