Clinton campaign backs call for electors to get Trump-Russia intel briefing
Just over a month after he called claims of a “rigged” election “delusional,” Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign chairman on Monday backed calls for a group of renegade electors to receive an intelligence briefing on alleged political interference by Russia – days before the Electoral College is set to vote.

“We now know that the CIA has determined Russia’s interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump,” John Podesta said in a statement. “This should distress every American. Never before in the history of our Republic have we seen such an effort to undermine the bedrock of our democracy.”

Podesta’s statement follows mounting calls by Democrats and some Republicans to fully investigate whether Russia was behind a spate of hackings in the run-up to the election -- as Trump tries to tamp down the controversy.

Podesta, though, went a step further by describing the intelligence findings so far as important for electors' upcoming meeting.

The Electoral College is set to vote Dec. 19 in a typically routine exercise where electors essentially rubber stamp the results of the general election. But a group of 10 electors, in an open letter Monday to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, requested a briefing on Trump-Russia connections. These electors have argued they shouldn't be bound to the Nov. 8 result, and in their letter cited their role as a "deliberative body" designed in part to prevent foreign powers from trying to “influence the election.”

“The bipartisan electors’ letter raises very grave issues involving our national security,” Podesta said in his statement. “Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed.”

“Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election,” Clinton tweeted on Oct. 21. “By doing that, he’s threatening our democracy.”

Said Obama: “When you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people’s minds about the legitimacy of our elections – then that undermines our democracy.”

Hilary reeks of desperation ... And, dementia.

Why not release it publicly, to everyone?
"Electors" aren't like high level government employees with top secret eyes only access.
They're just normal people.

So no real reason to back calls for electors to get Trump-Russia intel briefing rather than just public release of briefing except as a means to try and manipulate that one specific group.

Not to mention, and maybe off topic since I don't think it's part of the uncited quoted article, most of the "evidence" and the "intel briefing" (CIA, intelligence conclusions) are from before the election.
It's not like they were "Oh no! We've just discovered this information right after the election! What do we do with it?!"


I think this is SOP for her.
Control the narrative by any means possible.
If lying will work? Lie. Push it as far as it will go.
Caught in a lie? Force them to prove it.
Proven a lie? Diminish it and change the story or just topic.

It's always a treat, to watch such a lengthy
public meltdown, as the one being carried on
by Hilary Clinton, AND, her cronies.




Researchers at the Mayo Clinic,
have determined, that liberalism
is a mental illness.

seeking Information the CIA doesn't have?
CIA hasn't determined anything!
Its that Liberal former CIA-Agent Baer who's been out of the Loop for twenty years making a Spectacle of himself again!
You know the Guy from the "Hunting Hitler-Series"!
More Leftwing Fake-News!

The election season wouldn't be complete without another Hail-Mary pass from Clinton.

I have have always associated the contents of Hillary's head with..."Bedrock".

White House, Clinton Tied To PR Firm Behind Electoral College Push


The public relations firm working behind the scenes with the faithless electors is rife with ties to prominent Democrats like President Obama and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Megaphone Strategies, whose stated mission is to “use PR as a tool to diversify progressive movements,” typically works with progressive causes like Black Lives Matter. The firm is representing the handful of “faithless electors” trying to keep President-elect Donald Trump from winning the Electoral College vote.

The firm was co-founded by Van Jones, the former green jobs czar in the Obama White House who later resigned after it was revealed he signed a statement questioning whether the Bush administration had a role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Jones now works as a CNN commentator.

Molly Haigh, Megaphone’s co-founder and president, worked for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Haigh blames the Republican party’s “racist, misogynist, xenophobic fear mongering” for Trump’s rise to power.

Megaphone communications manager Diane May worked for Bernie Sanders on his 2016 presidential campaign. Megaphone’s website advertises the fact that May worked on both Obama presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012.

Megaphone associate Carlos Vera “previously worked at the White House, European Parliament, House of Representatives, and Latino Victory Project,” according to the firm’s website.

Only two of Megaphone’s listed employees have not worked for Democratic politicians, although they have both worked for liberal causes.

Vien Truong, one of the firm’s four listed board members, headlined a Hillary Clinton fundraiser hosted last September by pro-Clinton environmentalist organization CleanTech Party. Truong also serves as the director of another Van Jones endeavor: Green for All, an environmentalist org that received a $200,000 cash infusion from left-wing financier George Soros through his Open Society Foundations as recently as 2010. Soros recently met with other liberal mega-donors to plot to their opposition to Trump, as first reported by Politico’s Ken Vogel.

The two board members that don’t have direct Obama or Clinton ties, Jodi Jacobsen and Catalina Velasquez, are still solid liberals.

Jacobsen, who is also the editor-in-chief of leftist publication Rewire, wrote in an article last October that “To Trump, women are sex objects. To the GOP, they are valued only insofar as they can reproduce children or serve their husbands. That is a world in which Donald Trump is very comfortable. Their vision is indeed the same.”

Velasquez served on the LGBT policy team for the Sanders campaign and previously worked for liberal organizations like People for the American Way.

Texas Republican elector Chris Suprun, who has said he will not cast his vote for Trump, claimed in an interview with The Daily Caller last week that he decided to switch his vote after watching Vice President-elect Mike Pence defend one of Trump’s tweets on TV.

In his interview with TheDC, Suprun went out of his way to deny any ties to George Soros.

“Nobody got to me,” he added later.

I'm not seeing your chosen headline claim, showing up anywhere in your unattributed quote.

Got anything saying what you are claiming? Or is this just an assumption on someone's part?

Democrats' all-out bid to smear Trump's victory as Clinton campaign backs electoral college members demanding intel briefing on Russian hacking before they vote

Democrat's campaign is piggybacking on a call from 10 presidential electors for a briefing on open investigations into Trump and Russian hacking
Among them: House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine
The electors penned a letter to the director of national intelligence asking for a briefing
'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 says
'Podesta said: 'Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed'

Democrats put on a united bid to question the legitimacy of Donald Trump's election victory on Monday with the Clinton campaign returning from the dead to join in.

In a series of developments the White House, the Clinton campaign and Democrat members of the electoral college all pounced on reports that the CIA believe Russian wanted Trump to win the election.

A group of electoral college members - aided by an anti-Trump Republican - demanded a security briefing on the CIA's findings - a clear attempt to influence other members of the college who are not bound to vote for Trump.

Then they were backed by John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, who launched a tirade against the media, claiming - in the teeth of overwhelming evidence - that claims of Russia interfering in the election had not been covered enough before voting day.

Next to the fray was the White House, which accused Trump of inviting Russia to hack Hillary Clinton, ending weeks of detente in the wake of the election result.>>>>>>more

Dimmocrats are trying to steal the Election they lost by Hook or by Crook!

well,George Soros want to have his way,come Hell or High Water!

I guess they are forgetting when team Obama interfered in Israel's election?

Thanks for the link. I will do some more serious research, since that one is obviously heavily biased against the Democrats. The title of the article includes an accusation of an intent that they don't support, and there is a list titled "the ten who want to frustrate democracy." Makes it rather clear that this isn't a NEWS report, it's an attack piece.

For myself, I'm done with the election. Unless the investigators discover actual vote tampering by someone, I'm for taking the vote as it is, and dealing with it. If all they have (as the RUMORS are so far) is that the Russians hacked into everyone, and then only released the nastiest part of the crap they found on the Democrats side, the fact that the American electorate as a whole didn't already know that hey! politicians say nasty stuff, and actually plot to win elections on purpose!, then it's time they did.
