While former Clinton spokesperson Brian Fallon called this a shoddy coup attempt, it appears as if the Hillary team was in contact with the Electoral College effort to block Donald Trump, though they fell short of endorsing this Hail Mary attempt to stop Trump from succeeding President Barack Obama. It had no chance of succeeding and it failed on Monday, as Trump nabbed 304 of his projected 306 electoral votes to Clinton’s 227. Two Republican electors jumped ship, but five defected from Clinton offering another stinging reminder that the former secretary just couldn’t hold her base of support together, even something as ironclad as Democratic electors. There was radio silence on the subject among the Clinton camp, but Politico has obtained emails that show top aides Jake Sullivan and Jennifer Palmieri in contact with those who called themselves Hamilton Electors.
