On Wednesday, Sept. 7, NBC News and MSNBC — along with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America — will host the “The Commander-in-Chief Forum” in New York City.
It will be one-hour forum where Clinton and Trump will answer questions about national security, military affairs and veterans issues in front of an audience mainly made up of members of the military. The two candidates will not be on the stage at the same time, but will instead go back to back.
It’s worth nothing that Lauer is listed as a “notable past member” on the Clinton Global Initiative’s website — along with Anderson Cooper and Katie Couric.
In the past, a Clinton Foundation official has said that the journalists who are part of the foundation were never asked to pay the $20,000 member fee.
“In fact, in 2012, we reclassified members of the media who participate as ‘guests’ rather than ‘members’ to acknowledge this distinction,” the official has said.

No FReepin’ way!
Always a liberal moderator - tired of that!
a one hour forum???? I hope this isn’t one of the debates.
This is not the debate
Talk about Rigged..this is the definition.
Trump needs to say Nope.If we are not on stage together,Fugetaboutit !
Puke. How do we protest this BS?
This should be a definite no-go or Trump. Lauer is a not a journalist, nor an impartial moderator.
“matt” creates a vacuum.
Candy Crowley tried to insert herself into the debate she “moderated”, and got called on it.
Somehow I don’t think Trump would let any moderator attempt any kind of shenanigans; he doesn’t play by the “tame politician” rules.
Ugh. Matt Lauer is a slimy dirtbag.
So does that mean Hillary will answer everything from her sickbed?
can't have queen hillary directly confronting someone who disagrees with her....
B.S. Trump should not agree to this forum, format, or moderator- period.
One suspects that Hillary and her team have already delivered the questions and follow-ups to the obedient Mister Lauer.
The best part of that dinosaur movie (Land of the Lost) was “Suck it, Matt Lauer!”
The Donald needs to bring this up first thing.
“Mr. Trump. Why do you hate all foreigners?”
“Secretary clintoon. What sort of recipes were in those emails?”
That was my reaction, too. I am thinking “Candy Crowley, Part Deux”. Who do we go to in order to nix this? The FEC?
I mean it’s like “Look who we found was available — Debbie Wasserman-Schultz!”
This is the most blatant political trap I’ve ever seen.
Trump needs to announce now that any moderator linked to the Clinton Foundation is entirely unacceptable.
Its a stitch up.
