You're right, this is patently absurd.
Nothing will come of it --there might even be a negative outcome for Stein/Clinton. I.e. Trump might pick up a few votes.
This so ridiculous, I'll stick my neck out and predict this nonsense will backfire on the Dims.
This is either a move to money behind a future Jill Stein run beneficial to the Dems (MA Gov. In 2018) or to get money out of the Clinton foundation fast as crap before the inevitable audit on Jan. 20th.
