The first week of August was a rough one for Donald Trump's campaign; by coincidence, it was also a busy one for Trump supporters, who see a media coverup protecting Hillary Clinton. Over the weekend, the Trump campaign released a Web ad that mocked Clinton's admission that she "short-circuited" by giving a misleading answer about the investigation into her emails.
"She took a short-circuit in the brain," Trump said at a Saturday night rally. "She's got problems. Honestly, I don't think she's all there."
At the same time, the Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily and a small army of would-be Twitter sleuths tried to build the case that the Democratic nominee for president has serious health issues and only they had noticed. Clinton's age and health had been subject to parody by some conservative media, but the new speculation was completely serious.
None of the evidence, often shared (or sent to reporters) with the hashtag #HillarysHealth, held up. In every case, a Clinton moment that had been captured by the media was reinterpreted and wrenched out of context. The highest-profile #HillarysHealth discovery came at the American Mirror, an obscure conservative news site with what it packaged as a scoop — "SHOCK PHOTO" — but had been aggregated from Twitter.

This is their first trial balloon. They will walk it back as the balloons deflate. They are testing to see where they have to go to get an excuse that will work for them. WaPo is working with Hillary.
Bezos owns WashPo. Amazons rakes in billions but pays no taxes.
Guess he made the right investment!
Hillary should release her full medical records after being examined by independent medical experts.
Otherwise, Closet Case Kaine will the the next POTUS.
A step forward. They’ve had to go beyond the first step of ignoring the story. Now they are trying to ridicule it, but that means that more folks are being exposed to the information. Once they have to move on to formal denials, the battle’s been won.
Interesting they are attacking Drudge openly.
They are also giving wide exposure to the photograph showing Hillary can’t walk up steps without help.
I think this was a miscalculation. They just made it a legit story and reporters can now ask questions because WaPo made it an issue.
SAhe has brain seizures. She fell and it took her 4 months to recover from a concussion and corrective glasses from a “serious injury” according to he “ husband”. She has to be held up going up sa simple flight of stairs but worst of all she is an unidicted criminal ans a security risk who’s open emails killed an Irainian CIA agent by hanging!!
This is interesting. I’m following hillary health, not because of years old information, but because of brand new videos of her.
These guys are going for a misinformation campaign against the meme created by NEW events.
they took the bait....
“WaPo ridicules the conspiracy theorists and Trump, but at no time to they directly address the facts”
Exactly, they circle the facts but never get right down to them.
Wasn’t it Hillary! herself who said she had had a short circuit?
WaPo barely even tries anymore.
10,000 Anti-trump rant articles.
Rushes to protect Hillary.
Keep spreading this story!
Circling the wagons...
You know they’re gripping with fear at the WaPo and trying to dismiss this as another “right wing” conspiracy. The fact they’re responding to this now shows their fear that this is a huge issue about to explode in their faces.
Hillary Clinton Took 6 Months to ‘Get Over’ Concussion, Bill Says of Timeline
May 14, 2014
Bill Clinton did more today than defend his wife, Hillary Clinton, from recent accusations leveled by GOP strategist Karl Rove that she suffered brain damage after falling in December 2012.
The former president revealed that his wife’s injury “required six months of very serious work to get over,” he said during a question-and-answer session at the Peterson Foundation in Washington.
“They went to all this trouble to say she had staged what was a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over,” he said. “It’s something she never low-balled with the American people, never tried to pretend it didn’t happen.”
But Bill Clinton’s timeline appears to differ from official comments from the State Department at the time.
And their biggest problem is that they will have to hide her away completely now. She seems to be getting more and more of them as time goes by, and every time one happens everyone now is watching for it. This is one of those things that can’t be controlled short of literally hiding her away from all eyes. Hard to do in a presidential election.
SPOT ON!
Difficulty walking up the stairs a few months ago
Difficulty standing for long periods during rallies, present time
Freezing up during speech, present time
Must be over the target....flaks getting heavier!
I interpret this as HRC's condition is real. They anticipate that these photos and videos will come out later. They bring it out now in hopes that HRC has no future outbreaks, in which case it can be dismissed.
The press is scum. We need a new media.
