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

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.”

...she also lost because she was an unlikeable candidate whom no one wanted.

If the electors change their vote can they be sued by individuals of that state-class action?

Six or seven state delegations controlled by the GOP would have to vote against the winning GOP nominee. Which states would those be?

The Senate votes for the VP, who would become Acting President should the House fail to decide on the president.

Should the House and Senate fail to name a Pres and VP, the Speaker of the House becomes Acting President. If Congress would be so bold, and they’re ‘all in it together’, do you think they would prefer Kaine, Pence, or Paul Ryan as Acting President?

They are trying to GOAD the right to commit some act of violence, everyone stay calm, the law is on our side, it will prevail, this is fake and they know it, but if they can get some right wing group to do something violent the left wing thugs will react and the war they long for will start. Sit tight, the law will grind them to powder when the times comes, they have no standing.

Podesta already wrote it for the CIA and gave it to the NYT and globalist media.

What campaign? At least they’re out in the open now about still trying to do what she originally called “horrifying”....

Are we going to sit by silently as they try to steal the election? Trump campaign must respond to this.


I agree

Do the electors vote as a block? I don’t think that’s actually true. Which means they would only require 37 nation wide to defect. Does anyone actually know exactly how this will work next week?

Electors don’t vote as a bloc, but should it go to the House, state delegations vote as a bloc; one vote per state. The Senate votes for VP from top two candidates, one vote per senator.

Congress can accept or reject single electors or whole state electoral votes as they see fit.

Should they deny Trump, why would Congress pick Hillary or Kaine when they could have Pence or Paul Ryan?

We get it, Hillary. You KNEW it was “your turn” but the people have spoken and despite what you thought, they don't want you. Stop believing your own press; you're a sick old woman. Use this time to get right with God. Take your ill-gotten gains and do with it what you said you were going to do. Go to Haiti and actually help the people there. Your time here is running out and if you don't repent, the misery you feel now is nothing compared to what eternity has in store for you.

They will all need to pass drug screens of course. Good luck with that.

Like I’ve said before, it the Clinton’s weren’t so corrupt, used SOS to pocket money for the Clinton Foundation, was underhanded in all their dealings with the American People, there would be no story since hacking would have resulted in nothing to publish.

Show them a blank piece of paper and say “here’s all we can show you” since you do not have top secret security clearance.

I don’t think they would vote for Hillary, they would vote for an alternative. Ryan, Pence, Mittens whatever. If they did, it’s just as bad as Hillary. All of these people would and did get slaughtered by Trump in the primaries, there was no one wanted more than Trump in the Republican primaries. Period. The house Republicans, until proven otherwise (by supporting Trump), are just the same as the Democrats. Without Trump forcing things the way he is the country would have already been handed over to the globalist.
