Clinton campaign backs call for intelligence briefing before Electoral College vote
politico.com ^ | 12/12/16 | Gabriel Debenedetti and Kyle Cheney

Posted on 12/12/2016 10:07:20 AM PST by ColdOne

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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
