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.
The site claimed to be quoting NYPD sources involved in the forum’s security detail. True Pundit reported that such technology could be used to receive cues from a long distance.

Well well, who would have thought Ms. Know-it-all would need that?
why anyone would believe one word that comes out of this woman’s mouth is beyond my comprehension!
Now campers,says Hillary, not only do I lie , but you must all lie for me or your all fired.
Face it, trump knows nothing about government or legislation, security or the military. All confirmed by high ranking reputable republicans. He’s an adulterer, liar and menuvel. She’s certainly not the best, but she is infinitely more knowledgeable than this clown.
rt, you are an embarrassment to Jewish people, if you are one.
4: We don’t elect politicians on the basis of how much they know. None of them knows anything because none of them is an expert, and that’s not why they’re there. We elect them to make decisions on the basis of information given to them by experts. Now, who has a track record of making decisions that have led to success: Trump, or Clinton?
To Moishele (aka No. 5)
Presumably you are in “Golus” from reality since you challenge the “Jewishness” of anyone who cannot remotely accept the Trumpkopf as a realistic Presidential Option. RT’s view as shared by many frum Yidden who are not thrilled with HRC but would vote for her versus this clown who simply has no clue of what he speaks. I could accept his vulgarity and other vile personal attributes if at least he was smart and focused on substance but sadly there is little evidence he is either of the latter.

yes trump knows nothing as you said. he’s also all the things you called him. but if he surrounds himself with the right people he can be a decent president and a good leader with a lot of guts. hillary on the other hand is such a lowlife on all levels that she possibly be a president let alone a decent one. thats why while i agree trump is a deranged lunatic i still maintain its ABC. Anyone But Clinton.
It’s probably just a hearing aid, let’s face it she is OLD
After winning the election, Donald Duck will learn about how the government spends billions of dollars to pay for food, housing, education, healthcare, etc for many poor people. He’ll say, “What?! Those pathetic failures are not what America is about. The first step towards making American great again is to stop supporting losers!” And in an instant, so many people we know that count on food stamps, rent subsidies, EITC, medicaid, etc, will see their lifelines dry up. This menuval is dangerous for us.
lets talk about the article in question not other trump/clinton differences: in my opinion if that was a secret device why in the world would she wear it in practically open view!? the world is literally looking at her face during this ‘debate’ thing
if she wanted a secret listening piece she should have put it under her shaitel or something!(I hate clinton btw but i cant imagine this was a listening piece or whatever) she does have a track record of hiding secret things pretty well so this would be a pretty lousy hiding place.
The Clintons never do anything honest.
#7, Gadolhadorah, rt or what ever your name is:
I must question “Jewishness” of anybody who blindly and obediently sides with leaders of political party that literally have Jewish blood on their hands and wish us harm.
Excuse me Trump is not as stupid as you accuse him.He knows you must take care of the elderly; but you need to cut food stamps to people who are able to work and just do want to. Also under the current administration which hillary will continue their plan is to cut health care for the elderly like theydo in England, shutting of repirators, need replacing hips, and making them wait n line for basic care.My frieend had heart trouble and waited over 2 months to see a doctor after getting out of the hospital. Also much care is denied the older so don’t tel me about trump tell me about waht is happpening unnder the current administraton
Trump says he’s brilliant and he “would hire all the best people”. Just look objectively at his campaign, he’s already gone through 2 top staff leaders in just a few months, did he pick the “best” people so far? Listen to the campaign surrogates he puts out, some of them sound like complete morons. This pastor burns is a complete fraud. We’re supposed to believe that if he becomes President then he’ll finally get it right? So many of you are willing to roll the dice for the future of this country with someone I consider (along with many Republican leaders) to be completely unfit for the job. I’m not going to make a kiddush if Hillary wins, but I will sleep better at night knowing at least that she’s not unstable and will actually work with everyone to try and get things done.
It can’t be a hearing aid because, had it been a hearing aid, they would have said that right away.
It’s a mad mad mad mad mad mad mad world.
Only one real option, Melch haMoshiach. And with the kind of dog-faced leaders left for us in this galus, it won’t take much for the gantz velt to agree. Can’t you feel it!?!?!
Trump may be ignorant of politics, but he is smart enough to hire the best advisors. Killary is dangerous. I like the ABC approach. As for the earpiece – makes sense that she is deaf. But it was probably so she can be told what to say. Her mental acuity, not to mention her physical health, is waning. She is a washed-up vicious old hag, but a really, really dangerous one.
rt: if Hillary was as knowledgeable as you think she would’nt have needed security and intelligence briefings. Bottom line they both aren’t knowledgeable in presidential areas but they will be informed. The question is what will they do with it? Will they be like Obama who ignores what the intelligence says or be smart about it. M: it is very sad that you can sell yourself to the devil all because she will through you a few pennies. Maybe we should set up organizations who can help these people who are really tight on money. so that they don’t make this vital choice based on who will give them more money.
