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.”

Bill and Hillary Clinton should both die in prison for their crimes and treason.

There’s no one better than Jeff Sessions to see to that.

Clinton campaign? Did that not end on 11.08? What am I missing here?

She has no standing to demand or receive any briefing of any sort. Neither do the electors, who are simply Party stalwarts selected on the State Party level. Replace the butthurt Electors with their alternates. Ignore the Pelosi.

OTOH, it would be amusing to see NSA tell them the truth, in public, in the most contemptuous manner possible. IE: if it happened we’d be the ones who know and we don’t, so it didn’t. Blame Hillary.

‘Bye.

Hmm, I thought Clinton said that any questioning of the results of the vote was an unacceptable undermining of our entire democratic system. Why do something that so clearly contradicts what she’s already denounced prior to the election? Does she think no one’s going to notice her massive double standards?

They seem to be pulling out all the stops to steal the election. It’s not a coincidence that Clinton folks announced all this today after the recount efforts failed.

Electors are literally anyone selected by their party. There is no national standard for their qualification or selection. There is no official duty they have other than to follow their state's laws regarding voting for the winner of the presidential election in their state.

The idea that they are suddenly well read and highly talented statesman deserving some kind of classified security briefing is absurd.

The whole "bipartisan" letter thing is another joke. It is signed by 8 dimorats and one "republican" who refuses to follow the laws of his own state, Texas. The effort for that letter was driven by the daughter of the leader of the dims in the house, piglosi.

Anybody who does the most rudimentary research can see this is nothing more than fake news posing as some kind of constitutional crisis.

We don’t have Real ID in Oklahoma, and voters always have to show ID to vote.

The advantage of Real ID is you have to prove you are a citizen otherwise you don’t get it. In Georgia we have both

My thoughts exactly. Inadvertently, if you are to even believe the narrative, which I don’t, the Russians did us a favor.

Was sitting in Church and the pastor was talking about the tax collectors, and I realized I really do have a hate on for the modern day cheats - but I was thinking of Wall Street.

But as much as I hate those Goldman Sachs bastards, I forgot how much I hate the liberal establishment, all of it.
