I don't really care if it's the first offering his oldest daughter gave up to the Tooth Fairy! Are we getting so complacent in this country that breaking rules is o.k. so long as no damage is done. Please say it ain't so! Saying something you know to be not true is a lie. Creating a fake or false government record is against the law. It doesn't matter if it's a fake memo from a Texas Air National Guardsman, or an After Action report that lists falsehoods.
Section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding" that was
negotiated and agreed upon by both political campaigns states: "No props, notes,
charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into
the debate by either candidate.... Each candidate must submit to the staff of
the Commission prior to the debate all such paper and any pens or pencils with
which a candidate may wish to take notes during the debate, and the staff or
commission will place such paper, pens and pencils on the podium..."
Why does no one care that the Democratic Party's candidate for President of the United States broke the rules? Why is it trivial?
