Is Hillary Clinton Trying To Question The Legitimacy Of Donald Trump Winning?
National Public Radio ^ | December 12, 2016 | Jessica Taylor

Amid news of possible Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election, a top Hillary Clinton adviser is publicly casting support for a push by some members of the Electoral College to receive an intelligence briefing ahead of their formal vote next week.

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

It's the losing Democratic nominee's most public show of support yet for efforts to question the legitimacy of election results that gave Donald Trump the presidency. And it follows news over the weekend that the CIA has concluded that Russia intervened in the election to help the Republican win.

The letter comes from 10 mostly Democratic electors, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine and New Hampshire Rep.-elect Carol Shea-Porter. Only one signatory is a Republican, Texan Chris Suprun, who has already said he is refusing to vote for Trump despite his state's results....

They know they are about to be arrested.

Trump was saying what he had to until he’s in power.

The REAL Wikileaks are coming after he’s in office and it’ll force his hand and the FBI’s hand (under their new director) to arrest the Clinton Crime Family and many others from both parties.

Look at the people who ran away from Trump and are still fighting to keep him out of office.

Those will be the ones you see arrested in 2017.

Wikileaks / DC Leaks area game changers. They won’t be able to sweep this under the rug.

Even Milo is waiting to talk about Pizzagate until after Trump is in power.

Of course she is but she’s not a leader so she gets people to do it for her. One thing is for certain, if Trump thought the election was a sham after it was all said and done he would be shouting it from the mountain tops and fully owning it. Why? Because he’s a real leader.

Nancy Pelosi
Jill Stein
Hillary Clinton

Woman and politics...

Rush handled this well today. “Did the Russians tell her not to campaign in Wisconsin? Did they tell her to pass out on 9-11? Did they tell her to take a month off? ...”

Does the Democratic Party have any idea how silly and infantile they are appearing?

Apparently losing to an unknown, clean, articulate, black, man.....of her own party....was nothing. But she got a nice job out of it and screwed up everything she touched....from Khadafi to Russia to Benghazi..

Between the Senate and SOS, we got to know her...and she's no good.

Clinton and Podesta trying to exonerate themselves from the horrific defeat they brought upon themselves: her by being a terrible candidate and him for running a terrible campaign. Gotta blame somebody! They could never accept responsibility themselves.

I really will not be able to relax till Trump is sworn in January 20th. These people are truly crazy. There has never been such a sh*tshow as this... has there? Or was the Bush/Gore Hanging Chad business this painful and I just don’t remember?

“was the Bush/Gore Hanging Chad business this painful”

I remember it pretty well and this is worse. You didn’t have Republican traitors actively helping the Other side and it was over by this point. It was intense but short lived. this time every time you relax a bit a new snake comes out
