Does not answer both questions:
1. Why did Crawly have a transcript of the speech in question with her at the debate? (she was a moderator not a fact checker)
2. How did Obama know Crawly had a transcript of the speech in question with her at the debate?
Because Axelrod explained what was in it and gave it to her (on air, 9/30). And told her to hang onto it, because it would come up in the debate. 2. How did Obama know Crawly had a transcript of the speech in question with her at the debate?
Because Axelrod told him what he'd done.
It was an out-and-out set-up. Crowley was used, all the way. And she didn't have the presence of mind to actually read the transcript, but took Axelrod's word as to what was in it.
Dumb broad.
How do you know she had a copy of the transcript with her?
