Who is Hillary’s Mysterious “Body Man” – He keeps popping-up and does all kinds of things when she’s having physical or other problems ???


The Wa-Po in an offhand comment identified him as “…Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Madison…” ---  However, The World Net Daily has noted that neither the Clinton Campaign nor the U.S. Secret Service has confirmed that identification.


What we do know is ---  he’s a portly bearish sort of black man that pushes Secret Service men aside, man-handles the Democratic presidential candidate, carries what might well be a “'Diazepam pen,” and at least once,  he even gave HRC a little hug and whispered into her ear to comfort her when she seemed dazed and confused by demonstrators 



A recent post appeared on 'The Gateway Pundit” blog; and it noted that at a rally in early August, when Hillary Clinton was interrupted by animal rights activists, men in suits, presumably Secret Service agents, rushed onto the stage.  One of them came up next to HRC, put his hand on her shoulder and said,  “You're OK. Keep talking. You handled it, we're not going anywhere….”  (See  “Wow! Hillary’s Mysterious Handler Pops Up on Plane During Coughing Fit” by Jim Hoft, 9/6/16, The Gateway Pundit [http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/09/wow-hillarys-mysterious-handler-pops-plane-coughing-fit/]).

Jim Hoft’s GP article went on to note that when the microphone picked up the pep talk, it gave some observers a “…new insight into Clinton's relationship with the outfit (the Secret Service) sworn to protect her….”   However, at the same time, certain conservative commentators began to question what that particular man's role with the campaign really was,  insisting that he was NOT a Secret Service agent. 

Other conservative were even more specific in their observations about the “Mystery Man.”  ---  “Is he part of her campaign staff? Possibly a Secret Service agent? Maybe he’s some sort of emergency medical technician. Whoever he is, his identity is a bit of a mystery to the media….  And about the only thing for sure is that he’s conducted himself as some sort of a cross between her personal bodyguard, stand-by medic, body servant and campaign honcho…  when Clinton was somewhat taken aback by a heckler at a campaign rally, the mystery man rushed to her side and reassuringly kept patting her on the back. He was then heard on the mic as telling her “Just keep talking, you’re OK. You can handle it.”…  That obviously scratches him being a Secret Service agent. As anyone who understands even the most basic of security procedures, the Secret Service would never tell a protectee to carry on with a campaign speech in the middle of a potentially dangerous situation….  But then something very curious happens. The mystery handler physically moves two Secret Service agents off stage when it becomes obvious that it’s just a heckler in the crowd….  That prompts me to ask the rhetorical question, who in the world has that kind of power to shove two Secret Service agents around? Interesting, indeed….”  (See “Hillary’s ‘mystery man’ raises eyebrows” by TK Whiteman. 9/7/16, The Conservative Firing Line/  Elections  [http://conservativefiringline.com/hillarys-mystery-man-raises-eyebrows/]). 

Whiteman’s article then goes on to quote a small portion from a very detailed article in another conservative internet magazine, the “American Thinker,” as follows [in part]:  “…  there are a number of photos popping up on social media showing the mysterious handler assisting Clinton;…  Walk[ing] up just a few stair steps [with HRC]….  Being at {HRC’s} her beckon call when the reporters were too much for her on Hill Force One….  At her side carrying what has been assumed to be an auto-injector pen filed with Diazepam….  So who is our man of mystery, and what is he doing rushing to her aid when she coughs….” (See  “Hillary’s mysterious handler ‘badge man’ pops up on campaign plane after coughing fit” by Thomas Lifson, 9/7/16, American Thinker  [http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/09/hillarys_mysterious_handler_badge_man_pops_up_on_campaign_plane_after_coughing_fit.html]).

The matter has even made it the cable news.   On Wednesday, radio talk-show host Tammy Bruce made an appearance on “Varney & Co.” on Fox News.  At that time, she talked about Hillary Clinton’s “mystery man” thus:  “He actually moves other Secret Service agents off the stage….  We have not been informed who he is so we have to guess, in some way, who he is. But he seems to be playing a very personal role. He appears when she seems to be in trouble, either with the coughing or with some health issue or [another time to help when she seemed to freeze] in her own personal reaction to what was a heckler … It’s troubling because you’ve got a man who is also doing something that the Secret Service wouldn’t do. He’s very physical with her. He touches her. He has his arm around her. … It’s a legitimate question. Her health is legitimate….” (See “Who is Hillary Clinton’s ‘Mystery Man’.” Panel “Varney & Co.”,  9/7/16,  Fox Business News [http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/5115570636001/who-is-hillary-clintons-mystery-man/?#sp=show-clips]). 

CLINTON CAMPAIGN PUSHBACK --- HE’S A SECRET SERVICE AGENT PERIOD


Pushback from the Clinton campaign was fast and furious.  According to a report in the Daily Mail ---  “Hillary Clinton's ‘mysterious handler' who pops up from time to time on the campaign trail is a Secret Service agent, her campaign says, and rumors that suggest otherwise are 'despicable.’[quoting a 9/6/16 Brien Fallon Tweet]…[in an earlier tweet of 8/16/16, another of Clinton's communications directors tried to debunk conspiracy theories, tweeting] “That is a US Secret Service agent with a pen. Normal writing pen,' she wrote…. [In addition, a] spokeswoman for the Secret Service confirmed that the man was part of Clinton's security detail in an email to CNN that said, 'The item in the Detail Leader's hand is a flashlight.'…”  (See “Clinton camp says Hillary's mysterious 'handler' is a Secret Service agent” by Francesca Chambers, 9/7/16, Daily Mail/ News [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3778353/Clinton-camp-says-Hillary-s-mysterious-handler-Secret-Service-agent-claims-contrary-despicable.html]). 

It’s very interesting that also on September 8th, there was a Washington Post article obviously intended to debunk all of the right wing HRC health issue speculation (See “Armed with junk science and old photos, critics question #HillarysHealth” by David Weigel, 9/8/16, Washington Post/ Post Politics [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/08/armed-with-junk-science-and-old-photos-critics-question-hillaryshealth/]).  In that article, in an almost offhand manner, David Weigel identified the “mystery man” as Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Madison, as follows:. “…  when Clinton was campaigning in Las Vegas. Mid-speech, she paused and narrowed her eyes to look at protesters. Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Madison rushed to her side, telling her that the situation was under control, and that she could keep talking….”

THE MYSTERY “BODY MAN” STORY STILL MIGHT HAVE LEGS & IT’S CERTAINLY FAR FROM OVER

And today the “World Net Daily” did a deep-dive back to early 2013 finding a photo of the “Mystery Man” next to Bill Clinton while Hillary is being brought home from the hospital for her blood clot…. (See “Hillary's 'mystery man' spotted during blood-clot hospitalization” by Staff Writer, 9/9/16, World Net Daily/ Election 2016 [http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/hillarys-mystery-man-spotted-during-blood-clot-hospitalization/]).
Although the WND article acknowledged the apparent recent identification of the “Mystery Man” by the WaPo’s  Daivd Weigel [as mentioned above], WND also noted that inquiries to both the Hillary Clinton campaign and the U.S. Secret Service asking about the man’s identity hadn’t been responded-to at the time of its report, cited above.

UPDATE: THE “PUSHBACK IS BEING AMPED-UP” EDITION

SOMETHING CALLED “CONWEBBLOG” DID A LENGTHY REBUTTAL TO RECENT WND ARTICLE, BUT NOT THE ONE CITED IN MY POST ABOVE

WA-PO'S DAVID WEIGEL REITERATES HIS IDENTIFICATION OF HRC'S "MYSTERY MAN" AS TODD MADISON "SECRET SERVICE AGENT"

This ‘conwebblog” is pulling no punches if you go by the title of one of its anonymous articles that was posted earlier today. The article started like this: “An anonymous WorldNetDaily reporter wrote in a Sept. 6 article [not the one cited in my main post above]: … After Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton suffered the worst coughing fit of her campaign Monday, a mysterious man seen by her side for many months on the campaign trail suddenly appeared on her plane….” Then the “conwebblg” folks make this big revelation: “…. This "mystery man" is no mystery at all. A month ago -- a month ago! -- the Washington Post's David Weigel identified the man as Todd Madison, Secret Service assistant special agent in charge….” (See “WND Is Lying To You: There's No Mystery About Hillary's 'Mystery Man'’ by some anonymous author [posted by Terry K], .9/9/16, conwebblog [http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/blog/index.blog?entry_id=2361066]).

Also, the original newsperson that identified Todd Madison as Hillary Clinton's "Mystery Man" restated that in Friday's Washington Post (See "GOP congressman: Clinton is ‘mentally impaired’ by David Weigel, 9/9/16, Washington Post/ Post Politics [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09/09/gop-congressman-clinton-is-mentally-impaired/]).

MYSTERY MAN IS ALSO CALLED “BADGEMAN” BY SOME BECAUSE OF HIS STRANGE SECURITY BADGE

The "American Thinker" article cited above by Thomas Lifson refers to the Mystery Man as “Badgeman” because one photograph of him shows a plastic security badge around his neck that has been identified as not being either a Secret Service badge or ID card.

Gail,
The Washington Post is all-in for Hillary, period. In they're editorial yesterday they said that the country is over-focused on the emails, especially if it means that many Americans will vote for Trump, who the WP says is obviously not fit to be POTUS.

ANother thing, gGail, you should ask this question: WHO IS TODD MADISON? WHether he's in the Secret Service or not, why does he get to physically push everybody around and even manhandle Hillary as much as he does. I'll bet he's doubledipping paychecks just like Huma did. Here's another nifty question" If Todd Madison actually is the MYSTERY MAN, why is he still so much of a mystery?

UPDATE: THE “POLLS ARE JUST A SNAPSHOT” EDITION

REUTER’S POLLING SHOWS CLINTON IS STILL AHEAD, BUT TRUMP IS CLOSING-IN ON HRC’S TOTAL VOTE AND ELECTORAL LOCK

According to new Reuters polling --- “Republican Donald Trump appears to have carved out a wider path to the White House as a number of states including Florida and Ohio are no longer considered likely wins for Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project released on Saturday…. The project, which combines opinion polls with an analysis of voting patterns under different election scenarios, still shows Clinton would have the best chance of winning the presidency if the November 8 election were held today. Yet Trump has caught up to her level of support in several states…. Clinton now has an 83 percent chance of winning the election by an average of 47 votes in the Electoral College, the body that ultimately selects the president. In late August, the States of the Nation estimated that Clinton had a 95 percent chance of winning by an average of 108 electoral votes….’ (See “Trump closes in on Clinton's projected electoral lead – poll” by Chris Kahn, 9/10/16, MSN/ Reuters [http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-closes-in-on-clintons-projected-electoral-lead-poll/ar-AAiJvh3?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp]).

UPDATE: THE “SNOPES DEBUNKS MUCH OF THE “MYSTERY MAN” INFORMATION IN MY POST AND ONE COMMENT ABOVE” EDITION

NONETHELESS --- THE SNOPES ARTICLE IS INCONCLUSIVE --- SAYS THAT IT CAN’T VERIFY “MYSTERY MAN” IS SECRET SERVICE ASSISTANT SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE TODD MADISON

The last statement in today’s Snopes article debunking much of the "Mystery Man" legend quoted in my post and one comment above is this: “…. The Washington Post identified the [person with HRC] as "Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Madison" but we have not been able to independently verify his identity. We've reached out to the Secret Service for additional information” (See “Fact Check… Secret Agent MD” by Dan Evans, 9/10/16, .snopes.com [http://www.snopes.com/clintons-secret-service-agent-holds-diazepam-pen/#!]).

Still somewhat a mystery then !!!!!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: THE "MYSTERY BODY-MAN LETS HILLARY FALL DOWN ON THE JOB" EDITION

AT THIS MORNING'S 9/11 EVENT AT GROUND ZERO, HRC HAD TO BE WHISKED AWAY BECAUSE SHE WAS "OVERCAME BY HEAT"

AT THE CURBSIDE OF WEST STREET DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE WORLD FINANCIAL CENTER --- HILLARY, WHILE BEING ASSISTED BY 'MYSTERY MAN," HOLDING HER LEFT ARM, AND AS SHE APPROACHED HER VAN, SUDDENLY APPEARED TO WOBBLE, AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF ASSISATED STEPS, SHE DROPPED [ALMOST] TO HER KNEES, WHILE A SECOND MAN TRIED TO SUPPORT HER ON HER RIGHT SIDE

With or without any "Mystery Man" --- this morning, Hillary Clinton was videoed in some APPARENT level of SIGNIFICANT DISTRESS. First, she went visibly wobbly; and then legless --- if she were a fighter in the ring, the ref would have to call the fight....

One report said that when she dropped limp at the curbside, one of her shoes came off....

After an hour of "radio silence," the Clinton Campaign acknowledged the incident, but indicated that she was completely recovered. A while later, HRC made an ostentatious walk, saying she felt great; the walk was from the door to her daughter's apartment building to Hillary's car at the curb.

UPDATE: THE "MEDIA BLAMES THEIR MISSING HILLARY'S HEALTH ISSUES ON THE RIDICULOUS RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY THEORIES" EDITION

BY THE WAY, JENNIFER GRIFFIN OF FOX NEWS "CONFIRMED" {JG'S WORD) THAT THE "MYSTERY MAN" WITH THE "DIAZAPAN PEN" WAS TODD MADISON --- SECRET SERVICE SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE OF HILLARY CLINTON'S SECURITY DETAIL & IT WAS A MINI-FLASHLIGHT IN HIS HAND NOT AN INJECTOR PEN

Appearing on the Harris Faulker show on Fox News a little after mid-night EDT, Jennifer Griffin, who covers Hillary Clinton for Fox News, said several things as part of her report and comments to Harris Faulkner.

For my main interest on this thread, Ms. Griffin reported that many of the conspiracy theories about HRC's health had been debunked. Then she confirmed that the supposed doctor with the Diazapan pen was actually Todd Madison, the Secret Service agent in charge of Hillary Clinton's detail; and the photo showing something in his hand while next to Hillary Clinton was a small black flashlight.

Griffin brought that up to demonstrate why the main stream media covering Hillary Clinton earlier had failed to pursue questions related to her health.

Harris Faulker responded by asking Griffin didn't the report of HRC's pneumonia confirm one of the points of HRC's health conspiracy theorists --- that Hillary's cough showed she had a more serious medical condition.....
