40 Electoral College Members Demand Briefing On Russian Interference
The Hill ^ | December 13, 2016 | By Jennifer Calfas

Posted on 12/15/2016 5:28:09 AM PST by Fennie

Forty members of the Electoral College on Tuesday signed a letter demanding an intelligence briefing on Russian interference in the election ahead of their Dec. 19 vote.

Ten electors originally signed the letter when it was published Monday, and 30 more have since added their names.

The open letter - led by Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) - urged Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to give a detailed briefing on President-elect Donald Trump's ties to Russia.

"We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States," the letter read. The Clinton campaign applauded the effort Monday, saying it had repeatedly warned about Russian interference aimed at swaying the election in Trump's favor.

I’m with you...no need to keep posting articles that have INTENTIONALLY DECEPTIVE headlines (i.e., saying “40 electors” makes it seem to be a threat to Trump...but 39 of them are in Hillary states, so their ‘demand’ means nothing).

Nobody interfered. People were able to freely vote. They were better informed.

If they don’t have a clearance they can’t get a briefing.

Unless they are on Anthony Weiner's email list.

I hope for the sake of sport the people attempting this coup know how to use firearms so Civil War 2 will at least be slightly interesting.....

They won't even bring a knife to the gunfight! They will rely on the power of their arguments.

They're almost all gun grabbers, but being the hypocrites they are, I'm sure they all have guns.

Looks encouraging that just that one scoundrel from our side signed it. Only four days to go.

The signees of the letter are all Democratic electors, aside from one Republican: Chris Suprun from Texas.

Personally, I take it as a very good sign all they can get is Democrats (except for one fake-Republican). That means the Electors on our side aren't biting.

Very amusing that they “REQUIRE” this and that in order to obey the laws of their states. LAW AND ORDER and CONSEQUENCES for your acts will be very welcome back in the US after Jan. 20th! Anarchy is getting boring.

Someone get them a participation ribbon.

I’d rather see them have to watch the old movie, THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, ten or twelve times. Maybe they will get a glimmer of how stupid they are.

#8 And the loud mouthed one is Nancy Pelosi’s daughter. Imagine that. Someone get them a participation ribbon

There was recent satire article "Police Calm Millennial Protesters By Handing Out Participation Trophies" I'm sure these idiot electors are convinced of their own importance and a mere ribbon won't do, especially when the unwashed rabble in the mob got trophies.

Note - There were enough people who believed the report that Snopes had to weigh in on it. My guess is a bunch of snowflakes were upset - "I walked six whole blocks protesting that evil racist dictator Trump, and I didn't even get my trophy. Do you think they will mail it to me?"

Can’t be bothered to read this garbage but willing to bet 90% if not all of these knucleheads are Clinton electors.

Where is the story link to the 37% more votes than registered voters? That’s interesting!
