OK, I know that the source is not held in high esteem by many (including myself) but I don't think that the clip from the raw pool feed of the pre-debate preparations lies.
It shows the 'Moderator', Lester Holt, testing his earpiece, and it not working, leading to the receiver / battery pack being replaced by studio techs.
THIS IS IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE WELL PUBLICIZED DEBATE RULES released last week. Lester Holt may have surpassed Candy Crowley for debate moderator malfeasance.
I only saw the article you cited too. I want to see something OFFICIAL saying it was permitted too.
It was already enlarged. Yeah that’s what it is. I’ve noticed some around here don’t believe their lying eyes. They think Hellary is not capable of this? LoL Of course she is... Anything to get an edge and sound soooo “polished” at the debates.
Likely no one is going to do anything about it. It’s Hillary who gets away with anything. However, Trump should at least think about jamming the signal in the next two debates.
The Hillary I remember so well would repeat and peat, “well you know.. well you know... well you know...well you know... .”
LoL.
She was obviously wearing one in the town hall, so I agree she and the mainstream media will flaunt it in our faces.
I read the same articles and heard them mention it on CNN or NBC. Can’t remember. My point is that apparently they were under the impression it was ok for production purposes. I don’t think they were trying to hide or be defiant. It was talked about before hand and communicated to some media outlets.
What we don’t know, is what exactly was being fed to him. Was it only a producer or was he getting coached. That’s a big risk to take when I am sure he had already been instructed by the hildabeast’s camp about which questions they wanted.
I don’t think he needed any help with his plan to prop up illary and try and take down Trump.
I watched on CSPAN, and in the 5 minutes before the debate, he was definitely testing his earpiece, and had issues with it.
No, Holt may very well be a RINO, but he is very much a Presstitute. A bought and paid for Whore.
I went back and checked the video. At first I didn’t spot anything. I also looked up more about ear pieces and found out you can put a spy ear piece down to you ear drum. But what I think I see on Hillary is not that far down. I could see into her ear hole and I didn’t think she had anything. That was before I read about spy earpieces.
On this video at 33:03 and 33:04 something in her ear seems to catch the light. It looks like clear plastic. I could make an image, but it’s when she moves that it catches the light and glistens.

Absolutely. I think that is a requirement to be employed, and especially the more visual ones, of the MSM.
I recall that the debate was supposed to be 90 minutes long, commercial-free, and no ear piece for the moderator. YMMV.
I got the screen capture at 33:04. It looks to be a flesh colored ear piece to me that you can see the outline of it.
Someone started a thread about this here. You’ll notice how many are in a box that Hillary could never do this. Yeah she could because ding dongs let her get away with it.

LEFTER HOLT. He is now a smiling pile of poop.
No, he didn’t because Lester works in an industry filled with liberals. They control pay, assignments, and promotion, and access to the inner media circle. Lester got high fives across the media establishment. Heck, I bet they are going to throw him a party where they will schmooze and toast their glasses to a future President Hillary.
Yes! You nailed exactly what has been bugging me about her smirky performance!
All of the moderators are anti-Trump, even if not pro-Clinton. They can not be trusted, that’s one of the reasons the position of moderator should be abolished. Just let the candidates debate! There’s no need for some media hack butting in.
I think some of these guys think they can get away with anything. Folks are tired of this nonsense.
Yes, in their tight little circle they’ll try to cover for him. He may be the toast of the Leftists. I don’t think he skates. If Dan Rather can fall, this idiot can.
Do I think it will happen quickly? No, but his credibility is now shot. Anyone worth their salt knows him for what he is now.
Articles are now being written. He’s not going to come away from this unscathed.
I understand your point of view too. I know where you are coming from on it, and I can’t disagree with you in total.
It will be interesting to watch.
Rules? We don’t need no stinkin rules!
Retread so this got you to come out.
Then how do I know you’re not lying now?
Why do think I would care what you think?
