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.”
Well he was right for once,it was dishonest how they tried to steal the election.

And I'd like my Umlaut back when you're finished with it, please.

Wild Bill knows that their fraudulent votes will be found by our observers.
You are absolutely right!
And if it hadn't been for the Holocaust and invading Poland...
Regards,
Thank God the adult won.
It warms me to know that Hillary is suffering like this. She deserves every last bit of what is coming her way.
A funeral dirge for sure.
Maybe Huma makes her gin-soaked raisins, a la Teresa, to lift her spirits?
Where IS Huma these days?
It would be very funny indeed if they discovered that there was fraud and that it was for Hilliary, threw out the illegal votes and she wound up with an even smaller amount than she had before!.............
All of that was absolutely 100% true...until Donald and Melania came down the escalator in June 2015! DJT was the ONLY Republican running who had a snowball's chance in hell of beating her and beat her he did!
The Clintons are thru. Both look like death.
Soros, Clintons, most of the democrat leaders will all be dead in a few years. The democrat party is more communist leaning then ever.
I've noticed that Hillary is rarely photographed with babies, including her own grandchildren.
I doubt this is a "privacy" concern for the children. More likely she is so uncomfortable with babies and toddlers that even professional photographers can't get a picture where both Hillary and the kids look relaxed and natural.
Actually I've long wondered how rabidly pro-abort women (like Hillary, Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer) can feel comfortable holding a newborn.
Yup. She was counting in Jeb Bush being the nominee, and most of us staying home.
“This was planned since they first figured out she WASN’T going to get her ‘landslide’ win.”
Yup...and I’m not buying the “Bill Clinton warned them” bit...this is just BC covering his ass like he has always done, even if it means slamming some of his and hers closest advisors and friends. He is trying to keep the shine on himself .... remember, they have a large payroll to meet every month and they have to find a way to make donors believe they are still a power center.
They would have had more legal avenues to pursue challenges in these states if they had gotten started on it sooner.
Bill is the ONLY Clinton in the bunch. Then there’s s Rodham and a Hubbell.
Who has the key to the strawberry locker? LOL
It’s OK if you don’t believe that Obama told Clinton to concede, but in that case you might as well take all of these reports and dismiss them out of hand. I think this Ed Klein has been the source of most of these reports from inside the Clinton team.
WTF?? WHY?
The alternative sounds much preferable to me.
It's permanent, and we can finally enjoy leaving the freaking Clinton/Obungo/Soros nightmare!
