Was Hillary wearing an earpiece? (Reuters)
Images have emerged following Monday night’s 2016 presidential debate between Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton and GOP nominee Donald Trump that suggest – strongly – Clinton was wired for the event.
And possibly with a battery pack, an earpiece, a microphone and a wire.
Charisma News cited a Reuters image that appeared to reveal a flesh-colored earpiece she wore in her left ear.

The report cited earlier claims Clinton wore a listening device during a presidential forum about a month ago.
“During the Commander-in-Chief forum held in New York City on Sept. 7, closeup photos of Hillary Clinton’s left ear showed she had some sort of earpiece in it, promoting concerns she was receiving on-the-fly coaching from her campaign while taking questions,” it said.
“Now a Reuters photo of Clinton [from Monday night] shows she may have had the same type of device in her ear again … during the first presidential debate with Donald Trump. Was she getting instructions from her campaign team while she was engaged in the debate?”
“What does she have in her ear? There are three possibilities: A hearing aid – loss of hearing or dulled hearing is not uncommon for people of Clinton’s age, particularly for those who have suffered a traumatic head injury, like a concussion. Many different companies market hearing aids that are meant to be concealed.”
The second possibility is an “inductive earpiece.”
“Stage actors often use these to help with cues and missed lines during performances. They are meant to be concealed, and with Bluetooth technology, those speaking to Clinton through it wouldn’t even have to be in the same city.”
Finally – “an anti-seizure device.”
“Sound can trigger certain forms of seizures. A German-engineered device called the Epitect fits inside the ear and can detect and warn of an impending seizure, but more closely resembles a more traditional hearing aid with a component that hangs behind the ear.”
“None of these paint a particularly good picture for the Democratic presidential nominee,” the report said. “Either she has an as-yet undisclosed health condition, ranging from mild to severe, or she’s been cheating …”
Further, at the Political Insider blog, there was an image of Clinton leaning over, a motion that revealed what some say resembles a typical wireless microphone battery pack on her lower back. Those types of packs also can power in-ear systems.
“This wouldn’t be the first time Hillary had to use a device for help,” the blog reported. “What do you think? Is [it] just a trick of light and shadows? A zipper? Or was Hillary actually hiding a ‘Cough prevention machine’ in her pantsuit?”
Such claims are not new against Clinton.
The report said Woods also posted a Clinton email from the Wikileaks archive in which Huma Abedin asked Hillary, “Did u take your earpiece or do I need to get it?”
Infowars suggested that the box “is connected to a wireless lapel mic and that both candidates were wearing them, which is the likeliest explanation, although the podiums were also fitted with microphones.”
“Twitter users even speculated that the device was an instrument that sends impulses to the brain to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson’s disease,” the report said.
An ABC image appeared to show an earpiece also, but it also confirmed the wireless microphone she was wearing.

At a Catholic.org site, there were some questions.
“The initial reaction is that it is a microphone. But there are objections to this idea. The pack is a bit larger than usual, but this is not an impossible thing. Some microphones have large battery packs,” the blog post said, “The next concern is that a tube appears to run from the box up to the base of her neck. Why the tube and why the base of the neck? Aren’t microphone cables quite thin these days, if not entirely wireless? Or are we merely seeing a fold in the back of her coat?”
It continued, “Finally, the microphone appears on her chest, not at her collar. Why run a wire over your shoulder? Something does not add up.
“And now, a picture has emerged that seems to show her wearing a nearly invisible earpiece. Is the earpiece real, or a trick of light? What is the earpiece for? Is it so a team can feed her answers? Is it an anti-seizure device? A hearing aid?
“Clinton could be entirely innocent. But there’s a bigger problem here, the fact that we are asking these questions at all. The fact they’re getting play in the press,” it said. “This speaks to Clinton’s integrity. After decades of public service, the one thing Americans have learned about Hillary Clinton is that she lacks integrity. She has been caught in lies, caught hiding the truth, and even caught lying under oath.
“It would be good to know why such a device is visible on Clinton’s back and not Trump. What is the device? Is it a backup microphone? Then fine. All’s well that ends well.
“But can we as a nation afford to elect a candidate whose honesty, ethics and integrity are in constant question? Far from being an asset to the country, such a leader would be a detriment, even if the perception were false. And if the perception is accurate, she would be doubly dangerous.”
