Hillary Clinton Drops A Debate Bomb On Trump By Releasing 19 Pages Of His Fact Checked Lies

The Hillary Clinton campaign held a special press call to call on the debate moderator, media, and voters to fact check Donald Trump. In order to help the press, debate moderators, and voters fact check Trump, the Clinton campaign has released 19 pages of Trump lies.

HFA Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said, “Donald Trump has shown a clear pattern of repeating provably false lies hoping that nobody will correct him. As we head into this debate, we want voters and viewers to be on alert that they should keep track. Any candidate that tells this many lies, clearly can’t win the debate on the merits.”...

The release of so many pages of fact checked lies was a brilliantly clever move from the Clinton campaign. Palmieri repeated the Clinton belief that the moderator should be fact checking Trump at the debate, but since it has been made clear that this isn’t going to happen, Clinton is giving voters and the press all of the materials that they need to fact check Trump in real time at the debate.

Throughout his entire campaign, Trump has been allowed to lie without consequence, but that is about to change at the first presidential debate.

19 pages? Single-spaced? 8-point? Double-sided?

1. Black Twitter will fact check him, mock him

and drag his birther ass all over the Internet

[KamaAina]

25. Black Twitter is a thing?

Sweet!

[underthematrix]

30. Yes it's a thing

3. Clever move

By Hillary. K & R.

4. 19 pages of Trump lies? Must be only volume one of a set!

[nikto]

5. Since when has the US Media been interested in FACTS?

For us oldtimers,
back in the Cronkite days, maybe.


But in recent decades?





The operative term in American Politics is:
IOKIYAR


Sadly, I wouldn't expect the corporate media to recognize truth and facts
if they bit 'em on the ass.

Sorry, but I am that cynical about our corporate media.

[Hekate]

6. That printout should be fun at debate parties!

[R B Garr]

7. So your response is to question whether the 19 pages is an accurate estimate??

And how the info is spaced on the page??

Nothing about the obvious nonstop Trump lies?

Really?

[TDale313]

27. Oh ffs.

The OP was clearly making the point that Trump lies are so many one could actually (quite easily) fill more than 19 pages. You actually took issue with that?!? That was not in any way a slam on anyone but Trump.

8. I think it might be more effective for her to drop it on them at the debates, because

the media isn't going to do sqwat

[gratuitous]

32. The media probably won't do squat

But they'll have 19 pages of stuff that they can't ignore. "We didn't know that was a lie!" suddenly loses all potency when the participant repeats something his adversary called him on the day before. If Trump has a conscience at all, he won't be able to say a word.

Which means he'll yak non-stop.

[still_one]

33. I think Hillary will need to point out the lies real time

[gratuitous]

34. Maybe

Or she can take her time in the debate talking about what she wants to discuss, and let the campaign call out the media the next day for overlooking dozens of Trump lies.

[still_one]

35. No disagreement, but nothing is like real time. When Romeny was fact-checked

during the debate, it was devastating

[Warren DeMontague]

38. "why is she being so boring, with all the facts and all? YAWN"

"Trump is clearly the more decisive presence on the stage. Look how he deftly and assuredly ignores objective reality!" -swoon-

[LiberalLovinLug]

9. Just one quibble

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bin-laden-family-evacuated/

It is a well known fact that members of the Bin Laden family were allowed to leave in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. I guess his "lie" was that he said it was just before not after. Still the essence of that is a truth. It was one of the more questionable moves by the Bush admin.
Using the 9/11 commission report as backup is also garbage.

11. Good move from Clinton campaign

[SeattleVet]

12. "...and there's plenty more where this came from!"

should be her tagline when referring to this.

[TreasonousBastard]

13. Excellent work, but one quibble...

I don't know where the idea came from that moderators should fact check. They rarely, perhaps never, never have.

I know that we have never had a candidate so disdainful of the truth as Trump before, but "facts" are slippery things and are often not so clear. If anyone should be fact checking, it is the opponent on the dais. The debaters, however, all tend to stretch the truth for their own purposes-- when that stretch becomes a lie is a good question. Yes, I know, Trump really doesn't know the difference and just says whatever pops into his mouth at the time-- this is really new territory for a Presidential debate, but still shouldn't be the time to set new rules.

Now, after the debate, when the pundits and gassers get together to tell us what we have seen would be the time for them to tell us who told the biggest lies.

It would be fun to have a Truth-O-Meter at some point.

28. Crowley certainly didn't with Romney and Obama.

Who can forget "please proceed, Governor."

[NBachers]

14. I didn't see anything about "I can't release my taxes because I'm under audit."

Maybe it's there and I didn't see it, but releasing his taxes is the biggest thing to go after him for.

[renate]

24. good point!

And a very important one.

[world wide wally]

16. Hillary knows exactly what she is doing.

Never worry that she is fucking up

[misterhighwasted]

17. Appreciate this reminder, world wide wally.

[wheniwasincongress]

18. Trump will release

a list of why Hillary isn't a "10"

[tblue37]

19. They're good. nt

[colsohlibgal]

20. Great Move

He is a pathological liar liar....surprised his pants are not on fire.

[NickB79]

21. Trump's supporters are amazingly immune to facts, though

Many of them actually wear their ignorance as a badge of pride.

[BSdetect]

23. I remain terrified

that this buffoon is even running and that people still believe his lies.

They will not read his false statements' rebuttals. That is only more conspiracy fodder to them.

Lets just focus on registering people and postal voting.

Of course, let's also keep an eye on hacking the system.

[RandySF]

26. If only the truth mattered.

[Thinkingabout]

29. Trump should have apologized for the birther issue long ago, he still hasn't apologized and

Now he has added the lie Hillary started it.

[spanone]

36. K&R...

[Warren DeMontague]

37. And I'm gonna guess that the press ignored it.

Not like Trump yanking their chain for an hour about his birther bullshit.
