Only a few weeks ago Hillary Clintons campaign was denouncing Donald Trump as un-American for saying the election might be rigged. We criticized Mr. Trump at the time. But now that Mrs. Clinton has lost, her campaign is claiming the election really was rigged, albeit for Mr. Trump by Russian meddling, and it wants the Electoral College to stage what amounts to a coup.
Thats the only way to interpret the extraordinary statement Monday by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta endorsing a special intelligence briefing for electors a week before they cast their ballots for President on Dec. 19. He released the statement hours after 10 members of the Electoral College sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper seeking information on foreign interference in the election to judge if Mr. Trump is fit to serve. One of those electors is House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosis daughter.
The bipartisan electors letter raises very grave issues involving our national security. Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed, Mr. Podesta said. We now know that the CIA has determined Russias interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American.
What should really distress Americans is that the losers are trying to overturn the election results based on little more than anonymous leaks and innuendo. Whatever Russias hacking motives, there is no evidence that the emails it turned up were decisive to the election result. Mr. Podesta is citing a CIA judgment that Americans have never seen and whose findings are vaguely public only because one or more unidentified officials chose to relate them to a few reporters last week.

Damn those Russians!!
They made Hillary call Trump supporters a basket of deplorables.
They made Hillary’s staff make fun of Catholics in e-mails.
They prevented Hillary from campaigning in Wisconsin
They made Hillary keep a server in her basement while Secretary of State
They are dastardly!!!
We have all of the firearms too.
I’ll be damned....he trolled them into a trap AGAIN!
You are correct sir. Power, to slime bags like the Hildebeast, is like a drug. It's intoxicating. She wants to rule over people, especially those she hates, like us deplorables. I believe they are mentally ill, but I think It's how they get their jollies.
How can they rule after the coup if none of them are left?
Some really negative stuff was posted on FR about that guy. Wouldnt hold my breath waiting for Monopoly Journalism to cover that.
Interesting speculating about who obama will pardon.
Tainted and dirty people who are no longer in power still throwing stones from their glass houses. They’ll never understand their losses in 2018, 2020, 2022 and beyond.
The election was rigged; in favor of Hillary by Hillary. It simply did not produce the expected results.
But we already knew that.
They are embarrassing themselves by their grasping at straws.
To paraphrase Spock, "they're dead, Jim."
“Every liberal is a lying totalitarian thug.”
...not to mention a psychotic, adolescent, revolutionary,
Progressive scu&bag.
IMHO
Is that show on every week?
Nice
I’m wondering if this is what Obama meant when he told Russia he would have more flexibility after he is reelected.
Kennedy’s election was rigged.
Trump won his legitimately.
An honest media would be denouncing Hillary.......total hypocrite and corrupt.
Great pic!
It is a three part showing, Dec. 11, 18, 25.
She’s right, it was rigged, but not good enough.
This is garbage and its disgusting that Mitch and the other cowards are going along for this scam, but not surprising. I told you, Trump will continue to have to fight both the left and the right. PERIOD.
