Logic and reason doesn’t work with these people. They are trying to agitate, create doubt, take Trump off his message and transition efforts.
You got this right... It is a PR event for the media to cover so they can constantly create doubt about legitimacy. Stein would hope the Republicans refuse. Then she can scream cover-up.
The media desperately wants some distraction to take time away from coverage of Trump acting presidential.
Also, someone is in it for the money.
