This was an email by Huma Abedin to Hillary Clinton, leaked yesterday by Wikileaks.
HAHA! So she is using earpieces! Which means she was using an earpiece during the national-security-forum!!! She cheated!!!!!
Except...
Where did Clinton take this earpiece to? What kind of event was this where she needed to have somebody whispering infos into her ear?
She was at the UN. Where politicians need translators.
Wikileaks' big scoop was debunked 1 hour later by looking up in what context the email was sent.
Why did Wikileaks leave out the context?
Does Wikileaks not care about correct interpretation of info?
Is Wikileaks trying to gin up a fake scandal to damage Clinton?
I'll do it like Wikileaks and leave it up to you to decide.

...when WikiLeaks starts leaking information favorable to us again (if ever) we remember this. Fool me once...

to coordinate the attack with Alex Jones ergo Steve Bannon. I never believed in Assange. Check out the link to get the link to Trump. Coincidence? This has Bannon's sig all over it.

Copyright symbol instead of at sign. "goy" instead of "gov".
