Clinton campaign backs call for intelligence briefing before Electoral College vote

Hillary Clinton’s top political adviser John Podesta said the campaign is supporting an effort by members of the Electoral College to request an intelligence briefing on foreign intervention in the presidential election.

“The bipartisan electors' letter raises very grave issues involving our national security,” Podesta said in a statement Monday. “Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed.”

Podesta? Oh, the irony is so thick you need a steak knife to cut it.

Electoral College voters want to know whether Russia meddled in election (Pelosi’s daughter)

They don't need an intelligence briefing. They need an intelligence Injection

Podesta seems to be the one really pushing this hardest. Either he had set himself up to make a killing under a Clinton presidency or he is scared ****less about what a Trump administration would dig up about him.

[Stayfree]

TRUMP NEEDS TO COME OUT AND ANNOUNCE THAT AFTER HIS INAUGURATION HE WILL HAVE THE DOJ INVESTIGATE ALL ATTEMPTS BY THE DEMOCRATS AND OTHERS TO THROW THE ELECTION TO HILLARY

Of primary interest will be the video’s showing DNC apparatchiks admitting election disruption by thugs hired to go totrump rallies

[bert]

announce don’t........ investigate do

[PghBaldy]

Surely they can’t do this by Dec 19th. To be fair, they would have to brief ALL of them, or none of them, right Pelosi?

[bjcoop]

The fact that Pelosi’s daughter is the hack behind this speaks volumes. That must be known to everybody involved!

[nclaurel]

Since anonymous sources say it is only "likely" Russia did anything, exactly what solid evidence would electors be shown? Geesh what a loon!

[SERKIT]

Hillary: Go walk your dog in the woods. Pick up the proceeds and send them to Podesta for his next Spirit Meal.

“Clinton campaign backs call for intelligence briefing before Electoral College vote.”

Clinton is a civilian so there is no intelligence briefing for her.

JESUS I hate these people!!!! HATE EM!!!!!!!!!!!

[wiseprince]

Are you sure that the house would vote for Trump? I am not, they may ALL be in on this. What is the whip count for the electors. No one knows

[TADSLOS]

These crazy bastards are hell bent on civil war. They may just get one yet.

[RoseofTexas]

Rush is right!!! These bastards are going to try and overturn the election and WE MUST TAKE IT SERIOUSLY and I agree with him 100%! He says that if it goes down to the Hill, with McCain and the rest of the RINOS ..... you would have to! The mediapukes MUST FEAR THE POEPLE....WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!

[COBOL2Java]

Okay, so the rationale is: If the voters hadn't known what Hillary was really like, more of them would SURELY have voted for her, but they learned what she is like from her emails, and it must have been the Russians because, well, they're like that... so we should all vote for Hillary because if the truth hadn't been leaked, surely she should have won.

That's the rationale.

---

Their argument is even funnier than that: You see, they claim that the Russians hacked the DNC and the RNC emails. They leaked damaging Hillary info but withheld Trump's info so as to keep his image positive. You see? That's how Hillary lost!

Some problems with that:

1. Hillary Clinton and Podesta were running their campaign on unsecured email servers
2. Reince Priebus, as soon as he learned of the possibility the DNC's servers may have been hacked, notified the FBI. They did an investigation and found that the RNC's servers were NOT hacked
3. If the DNC emails were hacked, it was because of Hillary's and Podesta's stupidity in not securing their servers
4. Hillary didn't lose because of Russian hackers; she lost because she was a lousy candidate

Go Back,

Go Back,

Go Back To The Woods,

Your Campaign Ain’t Got No Soul

And Your Candidate’s No Good...

[jospehm20]

I would guess it was both.

[Lazamataz]

Don’t let hate fill you.

We won.

And we will go on, winning.
