In its first show of public support for efforts questioning the legitimacy of Donald Trump's victory, Hillary Clinton’s campaign said it is supporting a request by members of the Electoral College for 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.”

Errrr... no.


Make the briefing public before giving them any information.


I still haven't seen any definitive proof that Russia did anything. Trump's idiotic response exploded the situation, but no proof.

I'm still trying to figure out on what constitutional basis they believe they can demand anything of this nature.

They need to go back to chasing unicorns or bigfoot hunting.

I demand they all shut up and vote like their supposed to.
