The press spent a couple of hours waiting for Hillary, crammed into the stakeout like pigs at a trough. By this point, I’d let Bobby down, possibly signed my life over to Fred from Citibank, and been belittled by a UN worker. I didn’t have a lot of dignity left. I begged the official UN videographer to let me stand behind him if I promised not to move while straddling one of the legs of his tripod. I separately swore to a nearby German photographer who’d been there for three hours that I wouldn’t stand all the way up and block his shot. One stray move, and we would’ve had a diplomatic incident.
It was in this uncomfortable scrum that the makings of Hillary’s 2016 traveling press corps took shape. The Travelers included reporters for all the major wire services (the Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg), the newspapers that could still afford to splurge on travel (the Washington Post, the Times, the Wall Street Journal), the new media disruptors (Politico, BuzzFeed), and “embeds,” the twenty-somethings from all the major TV networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox News) who embed themselves with their assigned candidates. That day, I found myself shoulder to shoulder with the AP’s Ken Thomas, who wrote upside down as he held his notebook flat against his thighs because there wasn’t any space to hold the three-inch pad upright. To my right were Jennifer Epstein (aka JenEps) of Bloomberg News and Annie Karni of Politico, both shoved in so tight that their feet practically lifted off the carpet.
Finally, at 2:59 p.m., when the stakeout had become a stew of body odor and the German’s cologne, Hillary walked to the lectern, opened a black binder, and after addressing women’s rights and negotiations over the Iran deal, spoke slowly about her emails. She lifted her eyebrows and with every other sentence looked up from her prepared remarks, assembled hurriedly by her team of aides and lawyers including David Kendall and her old friend and speechwriter Jim Kennedy.
