Why did Hillary Clinton join Jill Stein, the Green Party’s oddball presidential nominee, in asking for a recount of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania when everyone knows that such a recount won’t change the outcome of the 2016 election?
Part of the answer is that people close to Hillary—Huma Abedin, Chelsea Clinton, and Sidney Blumenthal—encouraged her to ask for a recount as a way of lifting her spirits.
“She is weepy, looks ten years older and is very whiny,” said one of Hillary’s closest friends. “She has been drinking wine pretty heavily, much more than usual. She mopes around all day, swimming in a sea of recriminations and complaining that her campaign managers were ‘incompetent,’ Bill and Chelsea ‘didn’t work hard enough,’ FBI Director Comey was ‘in league with Trump.’”
In addition, President Obama convinced Hillary that it was in the best interest of the Democratic Party if the Clinton legal team got involved with the recount and didn’t leave it to Jill Stein.
“The president felt that the progressives were acting stunned and helpless and had to rise out of their stupor and show that they weren’t going to take their defeat lying down,” said the source. “Contesting the results of the election was the best and fastest way to stir the morale and fighting spirit of the demoralized party.
“Obama felt that a recount would plant a seed with the base that the election was somehow dishonest,” the source continued. “He wanted to raise serious questions about the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.”
And what did Bill Clinton—the man Charlie Rose called “the best political animal that’s ever been in American politics”—think of all this?
Said a close Clinton adviser: “Bill thinks the recount is going to backfire as a strategy because there are probably no more than a handful of questionable ballots and they could actually wind up adding to Trump’s numbers and validate rather than invalidate his election.”
The winning just keeps on rolling!

Has she mentioned the strawberries yet? Any idea who stole them?
Paranoia.
Pretty bad when Slick Willy is the only adult in the room! That is the liberals in a nutshell ladies and gentleman!
Oh, yeah, let the libtards spend $ millions just to cheer Hillary up!
Kek!
I say it’s a business decision, donations to Clinton Foundation have fallen off a cliff.
So she’s willing to put the country in turmoil because she’s a sore loser. Makes me appreciate her ongoing demise even more.
The unvarnished and real reason for this whole recount charade.
They thought they had. Some folks must have backed out when Trump gave an alert...and no one knew what wiki was going to do next...and that caused the frenzy of rallies in the last days of her campaign.
Regardless.....they were sooooooo sure....right up to the end.
Classic!
Incompetent boobs, doing meaningless gestures, spending $millions, because they got butthurt.
Yes, that’s the leadership this country needs.
Bill Clinton is a hound dog and a con man, but he is the smartest Clinton in the bunch.
I’d be more than happy to console her if she would answer just one question: “Besides Ron Brown and Vince Foster, how many murders have you and Bill had your hands in?” A truthful answer to that and I’m in for a sincere atta-girl.
I bathe in her tears.
The real reason number 473. How many more real reasons are there?
