US judge rejects Green Party's Pennsylvania recount case
AP ^ | 12/12/16 | Marc Levy

Posted on 12/12/2016 7:35:37 AM PST by pgkdan

A federal judge on Monday issued a stinging rejection of a Green Party-backed request to recount paper ballots in Pennsylvania's presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, and scan some counties' election systems for signs of hacking.

In his 31-page decision, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond said there were at least six grounds that required him to reject the Green Party's lawsuit, which had been opposed by Trump, the Pennsylvania Republican Party and the Pennsylvania attorney general's office.

Stein knew from the beginning this would be the end result - this whole charade was not done for purposes of a recount. It was done to benefit Stein. Either she’s keeping a bunch of the money (although she says its being deposited into a trust account she doesn’t have personal access to) or she’s buying influence. Don’t be surprised if she doesn’t end up with job at one of the law firms that made big bucks in this recount drama.

If not recounted by 6pm the vote gets recorded and the electors get certified anyway.

“which had been opposed by Trump, the Pennsylvania Republican Party and the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office.”

grossly slanted article by the fake news source AP. The PA AG was representing Secretary of State Pedro Cortes, a Democrat.

I will be glad when he is sworn in.

You and me both. Intellectually I know there's nothing to worry about but I still won't breath easy until I see his hand on the bible!

Word from TPTB is to shut it down before DNC fraud, and not Russian is found.

Does he get impeached, after the fact?

In the United States impeachment, in a Constitutional context, is an action to remove from office. If Obama is out of office he cannot be impeached.

The US picked up the idea of impeachment from the UK parliament where impeachment is a criminal action for such crimes as treason. But the process in the US is in two parts, impeachment and then conviction.

Nothing stops the new administration from trying to convict Obama of treason but that would be done through the Federal Courts. Highly unlikely in my view.

Looks that way doesn't it? MI got shut down as soon as 'irregularities' in Wayne County surfaced...

perfect skit for the conservative Friday Night Live comedy hour.

I’d change it a bit though:

1. Russian spies dressed like “spy vs spy” from Mad Magazine (or dressed like Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle).

2. Stein is lurking in the shadows, and as she watches the “Russian Spies”, she whispers the punchline: “I KNEW it!”

"And now the CIA is saying WAPO Russian Hack Story is wrong - More Fake News"

Is that here on FreeRepublic or do you have any other cite for this?

“Yay, but that 24 vote gain PROVES Putin disenfranchised two dozen whole people!!”

Putin’s a piker if that’s the best he can do. Russian spying sure ain’t what it used to be!

The Supreme Court on Monday declined the Republican National Committee’s request to lift a three-decade-old court order that limits the national GOP’s ability to challenge voters’ eligibility at the polls.

Expires December 1st 2017 giving the Sessions Justice department enough time to gather evidence of systematic voter fraud by the Democratic party such as busing voters over state lines, registering and voting the dead and enrolling non-citizens and felons. Justice department should pursue a consent decree from the Democrat party to stop such practices. There is ample evidence for such a suit. ( See Harrisonburg, VA)

Has Trump come up with a nickname for Stein yet? If not, he needs to.

I drive the same route every day home from Philadelphia. The night before election day I noticed a huge bus parked outside one of the big Victorian mansions on a very small residential street in the Mount Airy section. I wondered then and still wonder what the heck all of a sudden that bus was doing there. Haven’t seen it since. Obviously it was being used for election day, but why?

This charade is done...The Russian charade has thus been jump-started.

The Left will never end with the charades. It’s the only game they know...other than Political Monopoly.

When the Russian Charade dies, another will be birthed to take its place. It’s a good way of understanding the use of the tool that is the MSM.
