I took a look at Leventhal's Twitter page. He talks about a "witness" and "sources", but nothing he saw himself. So yeah, without any video this is a nothingburger.
Fox News just reported this live in their coverage of the ceremony. LS is absolutely correct.
Said that she left early, that she appeared to have a medical episode. The live report lasted a couple of minutes at a minimum and kept repeating “medical episode”.
They’re now saying they’ve now confirmed this with a second source.
Said it isn’t especially hot there at ~10 am in NYC.
It’s a nothing-burger as far as this particular episode goes. It won’t become a story.
But it’s not a nothing-burger in the broader sense that Leventhal did report it, and some of us at least get confirmation that she has some serious health issues.
I’m glad he reported it - we have a bunch of potential October surprises that could sink Clinton - but will they happen?
October surprises:
1: email or BenGazi scandal - we now know there will be no indictment, but Julian Assange still dangling some leaks out there. he better hurry, only 8 weeks left
2: A health issue - for months it seems like any day she’ll collapse - certainly she’ll drop out before the debates, but that’s only a couple weeks away, so who knows.
3: God forbid another terrorist attack - but they were happening every two weeks for a while there, and each time, Trump’s numbers went up because people think Trump would keep them safe. What happened? Did ISIS finally get smart and realize they better hold off until Nov 8!unless they want Trump to deal with?
