what am i looking for in this video?
Watch the top of her podium and don't take your eyes off it. You'll see what I believe is a screen powering up. It doesn't appear to lighting from any other source. Looks like a screen, with a privacy filter in attempt to hide it, built into her custom made podium.

And in this one, right before Hillary's podium goes out of shot, the screen powers off.
Check out Hillary's creepy helper casually hiding evidence right after the debate.

Certainly looks like the man is up to no good, removing things from under the podium too. Just so happens this guy is the first person to greet Hillary when she arrives.
It wouldn't shock me at all if Hillary had a script on a secret screen. A privacy filter mostly hide it from everyone, except her looking directly at it. Clearly something flickers on at the beging and then flickers off at the end, but not on Trumps podium.
For redundancy, she also had a nicely prepared notebook. Nobody pillaging Trumps podium seconds after the debate either.

The wire can be seen running up the middle of her back all the way to her collar area which is obscured by her hair. I did say it presumably continued from that point. The reason being first, no one wires a mic that way.
The proper way is to run the wire from the pack in the small of the back, around the waist and under the breast to the lapel.
Around the waist and under the breast area the garment is usually looser and no wires will be visible. It is also the shortest route, and, there is little chance that any movement by the wearer will dislodge or disconnect the wire.
Second, From the location of the wire on her back all the way up to where her hair touches her garment means the wire would have to turn sharply to the left, route around the neck opening in her garment, go across her shoulder, then down her chest to the mic. The bulge in the back is clearly visible all the way up to her collar area but is not visible at all after making the alleged left turn nor is it visible coming over her shoulder. There is only one bulge on her shoulder similar to the one on her back and that is the joint in the garment between the shoulder and the sleeve. The mic wire did not run all the way across her shoulder to where the sleeve joins in. If it did, it would be visible, and, no one would wire a mic that way. It simply isn't done.
And again, the mic wire is too small to have made that bulge seen on her back regardless of how tight her garment was at that moment.
Garments are also tight coming over the shoulder, gravity.
Zooming in on the pics showing her shoulder and the mic from the front there is no evidence of a wire coming over her shoulder. The bulge on her back is clearly visible right up to where it alleged makes a left turn then disappears. That makes no sense.
It also makes no sense to run the mic wire all the way to her hair live with no intention to continue beyond that point.
Your pics did not show me anything different at all. Sorry, but I stand by my observations.
The picture you showed of the guitar player was obviously not placed by a professional. That is how someone would place a mic on themselves for an informal presentation, as shown.

I looked at magnified images and did not see the wire you are referring to.
And you have offered no explanation whatsoever as to why the wire is so clearly visible on her back and not visible over her shoulder where the fabric is tight or on her chest.
Also, you show a clip of a pdf for a Shure mic. The mics used were not made by Shure according to Snopes.
when clearly, designs and manuals call for such situations. Snopes does not indicate what brand(s) or model(s) were used, they only offer examples and they surely did not rule out any particular brand or model. It is unknown at this time what brand(s) and model(s) were used.
no one wires a mic that way
There is a video linked earlier in this thread from a school that teaches professional sound technician courses. They indicate that the normal or most common method of placing a Lavalier mic on a person is to put the mic where it is seen on the front of hillary's garment, run the wire down across the belly, around the waist where there is room especially on women, and to the pack in the small of the back. This is the typical industry accepted method of wearing a Lavalier mic when being photographed or videotaped predominantly from the waist up and not involved in large movements or strenuous activity. Some people, such as a weather newscaster, might wear the pack strapped to their thigh or even their ankle since they will be exposed more when standing in front of the weather map. Both of these methods allow the wearer to move naturally without showing the wires or dislodging them accidentally as might happen with a wire run over a shoulder. I wear wireless mic and guitar units. And I put them on other people too. I can't think of one situation when it would be preferable to run a mic wire under clothing up over a shoulder from the back and down to the mic in front unless you knew the waist area would be clearly exposed beneath the clothing.
No one has yet explained how that wire that was so very visible all the way up her back suddenly disappeared when it allegedly turned left to route around the neck opening in her garment. Or why the wire ran straight up the middle of her back all the way to her neck line under her hair before turning to go over her shoulder. Sorry, but it isn't done that way.
To be more precise, if you look carefully, the entire setup is off center to the left of her spine and as she is bending over forward and to the right the wires move with her and her suit is pulled tight allowing the system to show through. What you are seeing is the freedom of movement allotted for that wire you are so vehemently telling me is a must in the industry. Her position combined with a still photograph give the illusion it is center and leading into the hair.
it is going over the shoulder and the pic is giving the illusion it is going to her hair due to the angle.

I can not speculate on what it might have been other than the obvious options which are a medical device of some kind or an audio device though not necessarily an ear piece. I am still looking in to other possibilities and will post again if I find something viable.
