Hillary Clinton defended her use of classified information, insisting that she never sent or received any documents on her private email server that were properly marked as classified. Clinton was pressed with questions about the issue almost immediately at the NBC News "Commander-in-Chief forum" on Wednesday. Clinton reiterated that none of the information that she discussed on her private server was marked classified. "I communicated about classified material on a wholly separate system," Clinton said.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Democrats are nervous as they can be about the upcoming debates. After Hillary bombed in the presidential forum with Matt Lauer the other night, they are paranoid. And the Hillary campaign is demanding that Chris Wallace be pulled. The Hillary campaign is demanding Chris Wallace of Fox News be yanked as a debate moderator. Now, you gotta understand how these people went into this. Ostensibly the Democrats believe that Trump is an absolute buffoon, the election is thus over, Trump doesn't have a prayer. Hillary is owed this. This is her coronation. They have the power...

A coin toss has determined that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will go first during Wednesday evening's Commander in Chief forum, hosted by the IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) and airing on NBC and MSNBC. Clinton will take questions from moderator Matt Lauer and members of the audience -- which will largely be comprised of veterans and active service members -- for 30 minutes before Donald Trump takes the stage. Both candidates stated a preference to be the second candidate to appear. Dafna Linzer, managing editor for NBC News and MSNBC, performed the coin toss. The event --...

At the NBC News “Commander in Chief” forum on Wednesday night aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton invented a new alibi for her mis-handling of classified information, telling host Matt Lauer that she used a secure server when she needed to send classified information. In July, FBI director James Comey revealed that Clinton not only withheld and deleted work-related emails, but also sent classified emails — many marked as such — on her private, non-secure email server. Clinton told Lauer on Wednesday evening: "I communicated about classified material on a wholly separate system....

The commander in chief forum Wednesday night should have been a showcase for the ex-secretary of state’s superior knowledge and experience. Instead, Clinton looked like a witness before a grand jury, forced to explain her past mistakes and mishandling of classified emails at State. “Of the two candidates,” the New York Times reported, “Mrs. Clinton faced by far the tougher and most probing questions from the moderator, Matt Lauer of NBC, and from an audience of military veterans about her use of private email, her vote authorizing the Iraq war, her hawkish foreign policy views …” On defense most of...

For months, Hillary Clinton’s supporters have griped that she’s held to a higher, harder standard than Donald Trump. After Wednesday night’s forum on national security, those complaints became a rallying cry. In the opening segment of the made-for-TV event, moderator Matt Lauer interrupted Clinton’s answer to his first question, about what it takes to be commander in chief, to set up 10 minutes of questions about her use of a private email system and her vote for the Iraq war. Trump seemed to skate by a half hour later as he repeated — unchallenged — the false claim that he...

During last night’s Commander in Chief Forum on the USS Intrepid, Mr. Trump told moderator Matt Lauer, in reference to the War on ISIS, “Well, the generals under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have not been successful,” Trump replied. “I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point where it’s embarrassing for our country.” Mr. Trump is certainly correct. The generals have been reduced to rubble. Actually, they have been ground into space dust, for the value that they give to this Republic. Under...

The first opportunity for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to get in front of voters on television during the same prime time program has come and gone. Any rational observer will admit that Trump did a much better job than Hillary in that forum. Sure, Trump wasn’t perfect, but Hillary was a disaster. You could tell that NBC was not happy with how Hillary did because during the forum they did everything they could to push back against Trump. Including sending out these ridiculous tweets while he spoke. Here's why Russians like Donald Trump https://t.co/9S8cM0G2U0 pic.twitter.com/p9JTnIzE9L — NBC News (@NBCNews)...

H/T The Truth division: Crooked’ Hillary Clinton wore an ear piece in last night’s Commander-in Chief Forum hosted by NBC and MSNBC. This was the first event where both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were invited to attend together. Each candidate received a short period with host Matt Lauer. It was expected that both candidates would provide unaided answers to the questions asked but it appears Hillary did not. Donald Trump tweeted after the event his disdain for candidate Clinton using the ear piece which provided her a boost in answering questions. Trump tweeted “We can’t let Hillary get away...

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,...

HILLARY AND THE EAR PEARL! (Drudge Headline)

NBC News knows the "Commander-in-Chief Forum" was not Matt Lauer's finest hour. One executive, speaking anonymously, was blunt about it: "Disaster." The morning after Lauer's back-to-back interviews of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, several high ranking sources at the network said they hear the criticism and agree with at least some of it. Lauer was widely criticized for failing to fact-check or follow up when Trump falsely claimed that he was opposed to the Iraq war when it started. Some viewers thought Lauer held Clinton to a higher standard than Trump. Several people who were sitting in the audience told...

Politico has some advice for Hillary Clinton, saying that her performance was aesthetically weak in the televised Commander-in-Chief Forum. “Clinton wobbled on style,” Politico conceded. “She looks uncertain.”

Matt Lauer: Now, please welcome the Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump. Matt Lauer: Good to see you. Donald Trump: Thank you, Matt. Matt Lauer: Thank you very much for joining us. Donald Trump: Thank you. Matt Lauer: You heard me say to Mrs. Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and it didn’t completely work out toward the end there, as much as possible I’d like you to tell our veterans and our people at home why you are prepared for the role of commander-in-chief and try to keep the attacks to a minimum. We’ve had a year of that and maybe 60...

She literally can't help herself. She's the kind of sociopath who will lie even if the truth were more beneficial.

Hillary Clinton was sporting a mini earbud wired to receive stealth communications from her campaign handlers during Wednesday's Presidential Forum carried live on NBC, True Pundit has learned. While Clinton was fielding questions from NBC's Matt Lauer and the public Wednesday night on live television, a quiet buzz started circulating in New York law enforcement circles about Hillary’s left ear. NYPD sources confirm Clinton was wearing an 'inductive earpiece,' the same technology employed by almost all lead Broadway actors to receive forgotten lines and stealth off-stage cues from directors. The flesh-colored earbud is easily concealed. There are no wires...

At the Commander in Chief Forum Wednesday night, Hillary Clinton again insisted that she did not receive any emails marked top secret, or confidential, or classified. This is in direct conflict with FBI director Comey's report that she received emails marked with a "C" for "confidential." Hillary said she respectfully disagreed with Comey, which shows that not only is Hillary corrupt and a liar, but she is also an ingrate. Comey gave her a pass, and she is using this pass to mean that she did nothing wrong. Matt Lauer repeatedly asked Donald Trump what experience he has to be...
