Electors press for intelligence briefing on Russian interference before Electoral College vote
The Hill via MSN ^ | December 12, 2016 | Jennifer Calfas

At least 10 members of the Electoral College are asking U.S. intelligence officials for more information on ongoing investigations surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's relationship with Russia.

The electors, including the daughter of Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Christine Pelosi, wrote an open letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asking for the information ahead of their Dec. 19 meeting to vote for the next president.

"The Electors require to know from the intelligence community whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations," the letter read. "We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States."

The letter was signed by 9 Democrats and 1 Republican.

They can't accept that they lost. Remember when they were worried we wouldn't accept the election results? These people have protested a fair election in the streets, tried recounts, and now are trying to invalidate the election results by blaming the Russians. Trump was right on Twitter today. If we blamed the Russians, they'd call it #FakeNews and a conspiracy theory.

Funny there were no such agonies about whether Barack Obama was “fit.”

This is the lone a-hole elector. More obfuscation.

I assume little Miss Pelosi is a democrat elector. What’s she thinking of doing, changing her vote to Trump? None of this makes sense at any level.

One Republican, eh? The NYTimes’ favorite Republican elector, perhaps?

CIA is now claiming the WP story was a lie:

Dear Amazon,
Drone-deliver more popcorn today. My supply is low and replinishment is desperately needed ASAP.
Thank you.

Please, relish the opportunities to prolong their pain. Sure, it takes time on our side, but the activity will crush their future hopes.

So let them flail around. Please.

Even though he failed for YEARS to produce any kind of birth certificate

And when pressed by TRUMP, he produced a hastily produced FAKE

#FakeCertificate

And the 09-11-2012 attack in Benghazi was caused by an anti Muslim video.

Just another deflect and distract lie the DNC directed Fake Media is pimping to justify not looking at the facts in the emails.

So IF the Russians did interfere in the election what then? Do they think anyone can predict who would have won without said alleged interference?

Such a joke - these people couldn’t predict Trump was even close rather than going to win in such a huge way - and now they are going to want us to believe he would have lost if not for alleged interference.

I am not sure what the Democrats had planed for America, but it must have been something terrible. Hillary probably owes big money to someone in her "pay to Play". Perhaps other Democrats are in involved.. What ever the reason they don't want America, they want Amerika...

Perhaps this is exactly what we need to wrest back power from the profligate federal government.

Unfortunately, the MSM doesn’t consider TruePundit a reliable source, so that means this will continue. However, the idea that the WaPo would lie? Not shocking at all.

10 members of the Electoral College are asking U.S. intelligence officials for more information on ongoing investigations surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia.

We know of no such relationship, but we do know that Hillary and her Campaign Manager John Podesta has EXTENSIVE FINANCIAL dealings with Putin, and they regularly communicated. We also know that Hillary had numerous Financial ties to the Saudi’s and that the Saudi’s contributed 20% of her campaign funds($300 Million)in an effort to BUY INFLUENCE.

anything else?

Is it time for President Trump in 2017 to end the CIA?

President Truman did not trust the OSS and its increasing power.

At the end of WWII, he signed an ExO ending the OSS.

September 20, 1945, President Truman signed Executive Order 9621, terminating the OSS. His Order became effective October 1, 1945. In the days following, the functions of the OSS were split between the Department of State and the Department of War.

The State Department received the Research and Analysis Branch of OSS (originally created by Edward Mead Earle[28]) which was renamed the Interim Research and Intelligence Service or IRIS,[29] headed by U.S. Army Colonel Alfred McCormack. Later it was renamed the Bureau of Intelligence and Research by the State Department.
