‘Threats’ over satiric Clinton video stir claims right and left

LOS ANGELES – The owner of a landmark Hollywood comedy club claims that someone representing Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's campaign pressured him to pull down a video segment featuring comics spoofing the former First Lady and Secretary of State – or risk facing consequences.
"They threatened me," said Jamie Masada, who founded the popular Laugh Factory in 1979, according to Judicial Watch, a conservative organization specializing in investigating government abuses of power. "I have received complaints before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don't cut the video."
