The real scandal is that she talked to her staff during the break and STILL lost badly.

Oh and Trump broke the same rule? Nice company you're keeping there Hillary.

the bathroom break NJCher Mar 2016 #153

She looks like she's walking well ahead of staff and not talking. But I guess Sanders' conspiracy Hoyt Mar 2016 #45

Then why didn't Palmieri flat out deny it happened? Press Virginia Mar 2016 #48

I think he denied she conferred with staff. You think Sanders walked through a deserted service Hoyt Mar 2016 #82

You think? Based on what Press Virginia Mar 2016 #84

Ok then.... SoapBox Mar 2016 #55

She's not conferring with staff as the photo shows. Even if she had, it's not a big Hoyt Mar 2016 #83

It breaks the rules if she did. Press Virginia Mar 2016 #85

It's a very odd response Press Virginia Mar 2016 #51

Palmieri's surprise over the picture speaks more than her failure to deny any meeting happened Press Virginia Mar 2016 #56

Oh please.. give me a break Peacetrain Mar 2016 #54

Then why didn't Palmieri deny it instead of being surprised by the picture? Press Virginia Mar 2016 #57

Exactly what did she say.. Palmieri?? Peacetrain Mar 2016 #62

She expressed surprise that there was a picture. Press Virginia Mar 2016 #65

Why would her staff follow her to get a drink or whatever? Press Virginia Mar 2016 #69

well the picture proves she was not meeting with the staff.. Peacetrain Mar 2016 #71

Then why didn't Palmieri deny it happened rather than express surprise that there was a picture? Press Virginia Mar 2016 #93

Seriously.. because she was not aware a picture had been taken Peacetrain Mar 2016 #98

Why would it matter if a pic had been taken? She was in it, why not just deny Press Virginia Mar 2016 #100

That is what staff do Peacetrain Mar 2016 #95

Soooo they trail behind her in case she gets lonely? Press Virginia Mar 2016 #99

what did they deny? that they did not confer with her Peacetrain Mar 2016 #104

Palmieri didn't deny HRC met with her staff during the break. Seems an easy thing Press Virginia Mar 2016 #109

You got her on walking behind Clinton as she goes for a drink.. Peacetrain Mar 2016 #116

A claim the woman, who was there, didn't make Press Virginia Mar 2016 #119
