Clintons Confirm Participation In Recount Plan, Despite No "Actionable Evidence Of Hacking"
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 26 November 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/26/2016 11:50:59 AM PST by Rockitz

This morning Hillary Clinton's campaign general counsel, Marc Elias, confirmed what we all knew already, namely that Jill Stein is likely acting at the direction of the Clintons in her recount efforts in WI, MI and PA. The discovery came after Elias posted a note to Hillary voters this morning on Medium confirming that they would participate in Stein's recount efforts even though the Clinton campaign itself had decided against a recount because they had "not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology." This approach seems to align perfectly with the strategy we laid out two days ago:

We joke, of course, as Jill Stein's effort to raise money for recounts in WI, PA and MI is obviously being done on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. It's a very clever approach (we would expect nothing less) as it allows Hillary to maintain the high road as the gracious loser while allowing someone else to play the bad guy...typical Clinton politics really.

That said, since Jill Stein decided to act "completely independently" to waste the money of a bunch of donors the Hillary general counsel figures they might as well participate despite the fact that "the number of votes separating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the closest of these states—Michigan—well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount."

Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.

Maybe Trump will now change his mind about pursuing charges against Clinton.

Not quite... certified by county canvassing boards. The results are UNOFFICIAL until the State Board of Canvassers meets this coming Monday.

The SoS state announced which she had not done until November 23.

If Jill Stein really gave a sh!t about Hillary Clinton she would have dropped out of the race and endorsed Clinton a month before Election Day.

I have personally witnessed elections stolen from leading conservatives because they trusted the process too much,.....

IIRC Al Franken got 3 recounts in Minn. to finally get the results he was looking for.
I don't put anything past the 'rats.

I’ll be plainly honest with you. Within a day or 2 this nonsense will all probably stop because behind the scenes Stein and Co will get an “offer that they cannot refuse” and it will all be dismissed because of some kind of technicality.

Of course, because its all about delegitimizing the election in people’s minds.

This is the opening salvo against the electoral college.

Not only does Her Heinous need Michigan, IIRC she would also need two other swing states. It ain’t gonna happen.

That is the count I came up with also, she needs all three to flip, WI, MI and PA.

Are they saying she should act if there is evidence? She needs to accept the results and move on.

Since you mentioned it, do you really think HRC is coming back in 2020? I was thinking I could actually see her grasping all possible straws now, because she knows that this is her last chance.

I would think she would need a crypt like “The Abominable Doctor Phibes” to rest in for 4 years, to come back in 2020.

Just look at the new national security team and extrapolate.

They know they have no chance of changing the results.
Just feeding the sheeple ... the low information voters,
to reinforce the claim of illegitimacy of the Trump win.
This is already the beginning of their 2020 campaign planning.

Here is the first salvo from Trump himself:

The killing blow will be delivered shortly or maybe it already has.

Trump has surrounded himself with awesome people. The next move should be interesting.

There's a report, it may be fake, or it may be a trial balloon, that says Trump's lead in Wisconsin has been reduced by 5,000 due to 'data entry error'. So there's a 5,000 reduction right there.

http://realtimepolitics.com/2016/11/26/breaking-ahead-of-wisconsin-recount-5000-donald-trump-votes-already-disqualified

It looks fake but there are some links to follow that show backing by important players.

Now if there are about the same number of yet uncounted votes, then Clinton can dream of taking Wisconsin.

But she will need more than Wisconsin.

But here's the thing, there are no limits on the fraud that democrats will engage in order to take power.

Since Gore v. Bush in 2000, they have become even more brazen.

I will bet 100% they have been working feverishly on plans and activities that position them to take back swing states for Clinton.

They don't care what Trump supporters think. They could care less if their actions are full of hypocrisy. They don't care what their 'story' looks like. They only care about taking power now via the courts if necessary.

They know they have a deadlocked SCOTUS to look at, that any deadlock outcome from SCOTUS will leave uptouched any lower court ruling they manage to gain. That's why I stated that the Trump people need to make a preemptive strike to get a ruling in their favor that will be upheld when the SCOTUS is deadlocked. It can be a race to SCOTUS with whoever first obtains a lower court ruling in their favor.

Their rank and file have already been used for its purpose. Now it's just a matter of organizing their most shrewd and vicious operatives to follow a plan to throw the Electoral College.

I tried to lay out how they might do it.

Winning margins don't matter if those margins can be reduced by claiming data entry errors and forensic hack reports, etc. Don't underestimate how far these people will go to take power. Don't think for a second their supporters are reasonable people. Just look here at a sample of comments from the above link and notice the insanity. This insanity sees nothing wrong with overturning a 10,000+ vote lead by any means possible. Afterall, the republicans and Trump are Hitler, KKK, etc.; they must be stopped no matter what the means:

...............................................

Laurie Cascanet · Jefferson Community College Let's face it people, the GOP cheated big time, not only by tampering with the vote #s, but I believe come FBI director was paid off handsomely! I now feel what is the use of voting, if the popular vote does not win? I am seriously thinking onever voting again... Clinton should have won, but now the cabinet is filled with redneck bigots and kkk lovers!

Katie Balog · Case Worker at Ashtabula County How much was the Russians?

Edward Malloy · President at New England Renewable Energy Systems All the more reason to stand up and fight! Never sit down, never stop swinging! This is your country - one that 1000's have given their lives for - so fight for it like they did!

Dougal Serrato · Lubec, Maine Edward Malloy so true we are America we can't let the KKK or the alt-right just take over never my president

Lynn Presnell · Kent State University at East Liverpool Now is the time to stand strong. Be vigilant. Roar. Never fill your vote is wasted. That is how things happened in this election. That and the FBI and the Russians.

Mary Anne Pomeroy Of course Comey was paid to do what he did. He should be out of a job.

Sandra Dodson · Grimsley High School That is correct. Never stop when you know how important it is. Also the FBI director needs to be fired without pension and health insurance. I am sure Donald Dick paid him very well.

Carolyn Beane · New Hampshire College-Portsmouth, NH that's true....but nothing can happen until he is sworn in....he may be getting all his ducks in a row....but as far as I'm concerned...they're sitting ducks.....ready to be eliminated.

Sandra Singleton We don't have a Trump cabinet. This is President Obama's cabinet!

Karl Rines · Maintenance Planner/Scheduler at Gopher Resource LLC Dougal Serrato stop using the term alt-right...... they're Nazi's, KKK, Arian Brotherhood

Jack Steffen Jr. · Works at Retired Who paid him the first time?? Republicans? Get real.

Robbie Grace · North Clarendon, Vermont So did the DNC... But the DNC cheated their own people and constituents

Scott Miller · Temple University Edward Malloy Si right Ed.

Chuck Stockford · Delta College And a Koch Bros anti public school Christian fundamentalist for sec of education. You can buy your way in. She was a multi million dollar donor to Trump.

Barbara McCormick Hill · Works at Retired Mary Anne Pomeroy He should also do prison time for what he did, and not some "cushy" prison with population protection either!

Dynell Weber · Works at Professional violinist and teacher Edward Malloy Thanks. I needed to hear that. I heard one electoral colleget say he will only vote Trump and called everyone else 'bitches", I heard another one say he thinks all gays should be hanged, and I hear of six who are trying to get the electoral college to write in the name of a different republican who was not even on the ticket. Forget the over 2 million people that Clinton wiped Trumps behind on in the popular vote... some would rather write in someone who was not even on the ticket. So it was feeling like "why vote? Its all rigged, or someone else gets to be the real voice for the Presidency. Why would I ever vote again?". BUT, You are right though. KEEP SWINGING. Thanks for saying that to the other person.

JP Bakken Jack Steffen Jr. His old boss Guillini!

Jolene Jackson · ACL High School -- Allerton and Lineville But can't she replace those people in view of all that has happened???? I would hope so!!! Some of those people really scare me.

Mira Newman I believe if Hillary does win then she can pick her own cabinet and Trump's appointee's are history because he was not an acting President when he picked them, at least I hope I'm right about that. Here's an artical about the Electoral College: http://www.factcheck.org/.../could-electoral-college.../ might be good to read even those it doesn't sound promising,

Michele Orvis Webb · Therapist at Michele O. Webb BSW, CAP, ICADC, CMHP They'll be out when Trump's out!! �

Terry Beauchamp Laurie, if MORE people had voted instead, the sheer numbers would overwhelm any suppression tactics. This all proves it's more important than ever these days to get out the votes. If we don't make the effort for change, it can never happen. Don't give up. Fight back!

Mary Ann Killion · Works at Retired Never give up. read my post here.

John Tillotson · Works at Warner Transportation Services Ltd That is being changed. Change.org I have a platform to screen candidates. If racist cant be nominated for parry. Look for it soon

380Handgun Laurie...youre a damnable LIAR. Dont make me start posting VIDEOS of YOUR criminal sort clearly showing that you were doing anything you could to steal the election. the ONLY place that lying whore hitlary should be is a fking prison cell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi6ryNOg8z0
