Hillary mulls challenging legitimacy of 2016 election, cites Russian influence

Hillary Clinton on Monday would not rule out the possibility of challenging the results of the 2016 presidential election, saying it’s clear the Russians influenced the outcome and that the legitimacy of President Trump’s victory could be called into question as congressional and independent probes into Russian involvement move forward.

In an interview with NPR, the former secretary of state — who will speak in Washington on Monday evening as part of her nationwide book tour — would not rule out formally contesting the results of the election.

“I wouldn’t rule it out,” she said, though she quickly admitted there’s virtually no legal path forward, and that challenging election results at this point would be unprecedented.

She’s delusional, IMO.

Discovery would be a B-—ch. I am sure Hitlery’s lawyers would be smarter than that. Hitlery not so much.

This from the person who, as many here well remember, called out Donald for suggesting that people had the right to question election results due to voter fraud.

The illegitimate President was the Kenyanesian Usurper.

That’s who you should have challenged, Hillary.

That’s a warning shot to Trump and Sessions. Though she needn’t fire one at Sessions. If Trump were to prosecute her now it will look like it’s an act to stop Hillary from challenging the election. At the media and dems and rinos would scream it to the heavens.

What institution has the Left left completely alone?

These people are enemies of the state, and in the truest sense of the word.

This is open defiance of our government, institutions, and the will of the people.

Every time Clinton blames the Russians, picture her and Anna Kournikova side by side, and choose one.

Maybe she’d like to run again in 2020.

"virtually" no legal path forward? There are two ways to remove a President from office, only two. Impeach and convict is one, the other is murder. The first path has never been done, the second has been a handful of times. What is Hillary really suggesting here?

HilLIARy is mentally defective and needs extensive institutionalized care, asap!

but if she ever really wanted to challenge her loss, she’s have to answer for all of the illegal D votes

including the deceased voting block, which the D’s always carry 115 percent

She’s suggesting the Romanov option.

No, no, no. It’s not a warning shot, it’s the ranting of a delusional imbecile.

Neither Trump nor Sessions could care less what she says.

For several years after 2008 Obama kept blaming Bush for everything. Hillary is the same. And they talk about how un-Presidential Trump is for a tweet he may not have even retweeted.
