The Clinton campaign is so invested in going into the first debate on their own terms, that on Friday they provided media with a lengthy handout of Trump’s “most discredited lies,” including his assertion he opposed the Iraq War and his claim President Obama is the “founder” of the Islamic State.

There’s a reason why Clinton’s camp is circulating a Trump fact-check: They’re worried the debate moderators won’t keep Trump’s infamous bluster in check. As a precaution, her camp is going directly to reporters and telling them what they think media needs to be on the lookout for.

“I recognize … it is unprecedented, at least in modern times, to hold a conference to talk about special precautions that need to be taken because your opponent is a habitual liar. But that is the circumstance that we are in,” Palmieri said Friday.

She went on, and continued to work the referees by stating her team is worried about the moderators situation.

“For the moderator to let lies … go unchallenged would give Donald Trump an unfair advantage, and we believe it is the role of the moderator, particularly in this case to call out those lies and to do so in real-time,” Palmieri said.

Clinton’s communications director told media earlier this week they’re worried the moderators won’t keep Trump in check.

“My biggest concern is … people accommodate their questions and lower the bar of their questions to suit the candidate in front of them,” Palmieri told reporters Wednesday. “That’s what’s happened with Trump in the past,” Clinton said.

This is the second time this week that Palmieri has tried to influence the presidential debates by going directly to reporters with a list of concerns. Palmieri said Wednesday they are worried the moderators will, “ask Hillary Clinton a set of much harder questions and they ask him a set of easier questions because he has not put forward detailed material which you can … question him on.”

“And so he ends up getting much one-dimensional, simple questions,” she told a gaggle of campaign reporters. “That is our concern.”

Her team first started complaining about treatment from moderators earlier this month following a forum hosted by NBC News’ Matt Lauer. Clinton’s campaign was so unhappy with Lauer’s handling of the event that they turned the entire incident into a fundraising email.

Clinton’s efforts to ensure a more favorable debate setting aren’t limited just to sending staffers to the press with concerns.

Pro-Clinton activists Peter Daou and David Brock and their joint venture, Shareblue, have been working overtime sending reporters complaints about the press’ supposed mistreatment of the Democratic nominee.

Shareblue is focusing now on whether Clinton will be treated fairly at the upcoming presidential debates. The group, “has already published a piece calling on moderators to fact-check Mr. Trump on the spot, and will continue through debate night, whipping up support online with the hashtag #DemandFairDebates,” the New York Times reported.

Clinton isn’t the only one who’s trying to manage expectations ahead of the big event.

The Republican National Committee has also registered its concerns with reporters, and said this week that Clinton’s experience in debate settings hands her the unfair advantage.

“Clinton’s been at it since she’s been on the debate team in high school, and she has shined on some of the biggest stages before,” RNC chief strategist Sean Spicer told reporters.

He added, “For Clinton, high expectations stem from ample experience. Clinton is a career politician who has spent years sharpening her debate reflexes and beefing up on public policy. Donald Trump is new to the format.”

The 2016 presidential candidates will face-off for the first time on at Hofstra University in New York.
