Clinton campaign backs call for intelligence briefing before Electoral College vote
politico.com ^ | 12/12/16 | Gabriel Debenedetti and Kyle Cheney

Posted on 12/12/2016 10:07:20 AM PST by ColdOne

Hillary Clinton’s top political adviser John Podesta said the campaign is supporting an effort by members of the Electoral College to request an intelligence briefing on foreign intervention in the presidential election.

“The bipartisan electors' letter raises very grave issues involving our national security,” Podesta said in a statement Monday. “Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed.”

Are we going to sit by silently as they try to steal the election? Trump campaign must respond to this.

And what? If proven more than “high level of ‘con’fidence” that Russia did any of this, what. Re-do the elections? Uh, no. High level of ‘con’fidence from un-named sources ain’t gettin’ it.

They’re going to throw concrete rubble and logs and twigs on the road all the way to the finish line.

A precursor for the years to come.

So exactly how many electors have the necessary security clearances to receive such a brief? How long to process their clearances?

Since the data is “top secret” background checks should start immediately on these gen snowflakes. Question is whether they will melt first, will background checks be completed before the college votes tomorrow or can the intelligence community fabricate the data to show the snowflakes?

This is what is known as “Astroturfing the Electors”.

A democrat operative calls for it, then other democrats
join the choir and you have a mass movement, or so they say.
They even have a token republican or maybe that’s a tokepublican?

Okay, so the rationale is: If the voters hadn't known what Hillary was really like, more of them would SURELY have voted for her, but they learned what she is like from her emails, and it must have been the Russians because, well, they're like that... so we should all vote for Hillary because if the truth hadn't been leaked, surely she should have won.

That's the rationale.

And at the end of the day, we all know it was most likely a Bernie supporter. This is just exasperating.

Yes, let’s do that, so we can focus on the content of the emails instead of the fact that the DNC was hacked ‘by the Russians’. I’m sure the Dems are looking forward to widespread scrutiny on the emails showing how they tried to rig an election, and how they were too stupid to secure same because they hired friends and family cronies to run their IT operations. Yes, let’s show the country who would be in charge of national security if they had won.

There IS no Clinton campaign.

The election is OVER, bitch.

On the other hand, it will be fun to see Clinton lose the election THREE TIMES.

Once, on November 8.

Second time, in the recounts.

Third time, this.

It will be, and their own statements and arguments will be used to support it. They are being played like a fiddle and too stupid to realize it. When will they stop underestimating Donald Trump?
