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.”
he didn’t keep his mouth shut...they wouldn’t listen to him, thank God!
Another reason for the Witch to call for a recount is to jumpstart the failing donations to the Clinton Foundation, as donations have dried up since she lost.
She wants to give the impression that she could still be a player in 2020, and that pay-to-play is still in the offing.
So really no change in her behavior has been noticed
I’ll probably get flamed for saying this, but if it wasn’t for Hillary’s antics & Bill’s philandering & abuse of women (ok, and his bad deal with North Korea), he wasn’t a horrible president - like Obama (or Hillary would have been).
Bill was pragmatic when he needed to be - working with (submitting to, really) Newt & his Contract with America.
Ok - flame away!

...And it’s a special bonus if they can get Trump to directly challenge them in court. He needs to leave that to the locals.
“Has she mentioned the strawberries yet? Any idea who stole them?”
Haha, now we know why she sent Podesta out late election night, she was busy searching for a duplicate key!
She was winning on day one, she could not be stopped, she will be America’s first woman President, destined to beat anyone that the Republicans could run against her. She had it all, the Media was behind her by 95%, actually they had already gave her the win. Then came June15th(?)2015 and she was thrilled, it was Trump, a push over! She didn’t have to do anything but wait till election day. LOL! all the smartest woman in the world had to do was refer to Trump voters as “Deplorable” and the cork blew out of the bottle! Hillary blew her own election, but being a typical Lib, she will point to others to take the blame. And now, with Palin possibly taking a position in Trump’s administration, Boom POW BAM Batman.
B.S.
If this were true, she would CLEARLY be unfit for that office.
What kind of President mopes, drinks and has a month-long pity party every time they DON’T get THEIR way???
I don’t buy it for a minute. This was planned since they first figured out she WASN’T going to get her ‘landslide’ win.
This will only make things worse for her. Those who encouraged her to get involved in this bogus re-count will have an even more broken Hillary on their hands. When the investigations start up again she will get even worse.
I see what you did there. The van of Libyans from the movie Back to the Future.
Off topic, but with political correctness nowadays, no way they could make that movie today, and have middle eastern or Arab types as villains........
Hillary needs better friends. I doubt this is true. Hillary always drank and whined and blamed others. Not exactly inside information.
EXCELLENT nutshell, gr8eman!
Yikes! That’s a cruel photo, should come with some eye bleach, she looks fifty pints ahead for sure...
Typical lib. Blames everyone but herself.
Going to need a bigger wine cellar.
This article contradicts the article that came out saying Obama told Hillary to concede.
If she’s this bad over losing an election, imagine if she would have won and then had the nuclear football and something bad happened.
What if the results of the audit reveal that the democrats were ones doing the cheating?
Only way she could’a lost! Had to be an inside job.
I surely hope so.
It sets the stage for:
• Paper ballots
• Purple fingers
• Mandatory free on demand BIOMETRIC (iris scan, nobody ever left their irises at a crime scene!) photo ID, with a database that instantly flags for arrest anyone seeking multiple IDs. Change of name? Simply have your old card voided when you apply for the new one.
• No precinct reports their totals until ALL precincts report they have totals.
This prevents the last to report precinct captains from knowing how much to fudge a report to give a win to their preferred candidate while maintaining some slight semblance of credibility.
• Repeal Motor Voter.
• End same-day registration where it exists, and allow ample time between registration and election for vetting of credentials of registrants.
• Instantly deport any non-citizen who registers to vote.
• Put a little ⩍ next to the names of those registered voters with death certificates, and detain and put a 72 hour psychiatric hold anyone claiming to be a dead person...
