Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich says that a “dark cloud of illegitimacy” hangs over the pending presidency of Donald Trump, and that the only remedy is for Trump to release his tax returns and for the CIA to release its findings about alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election to help Trump win.
This information must be released, Reich said, before the Electoral College casts its ballots next week.
“The CIA has found credible evidence that Russia intervened in the election in order to help Trump become president,” Reich wrote in a Facebook post over the weekend ― referring to a recent CIA assessment, reported by The Washington Post, that Russia interfered in the U.S. election not merely to disrupt the American democratic system, but specifically to help Trump win the presidency.
The former secretary, who served in the cabinet of President Bill Clinton, went on to outline several other disturbing questions that continue to plague the president-elect....

What George Soros and his voting machines used in sixteen states to help Hitlery?
And millions of illegal aliens voting?
Memo to the Donald...
Tell ‘em all to pound sand on that tax return crappola. There is no requirement for you to do so, and it’s nobody’s bidness but yours.
Besides, as you know, a tax return tells you nothing about the true state of anyone’s wealth, but rather only reportable, taxable income.
Is that anything like Jerry Nadler's "whiff of fascism" comment in 2000 over the Florida recount rulings?

That’s not a ‘Dark Cloud”, Bob. It’s his shadow falling over you...................
She probably showed him the best ways
to s*** d***.
But meanwhile Hillary Clinton is unstained, pure as the driven snow, and living in glorious sunshine with nary a blemish on her sterling record.
A low cloud of lunacy always enters the room along with Robert Reich, not quite five feet from the floor. It’s just the darnedest thing.
Little Robby Reich. The poor midget. It must be hard trying to make up for your shortcomings. What is that they say about little maniacal people? They have swizzlestick weenies? They try to make up for those insecurities by being azzholes.
Political stances
In an interview with The New York Times, he explained that “I don’t believe in redistribution of wealth for the sake of redistributing wealth. But I am concerned about how we can afford to pay for what we as a nation need to do [...] [Taxes should pay] for what we need in order to be safe and productive. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, ‘taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.’”
In response to a question as to what to recommend to the incoming president regarding a fair and sustainable income and wealth distribution, Reich said: “Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit—a wage supplement for lower-income people, and finance it with a higher marginal income tax on the top five percent. For the longer term, invest in education for lower income communities, starting with early-childhood education and extending all the way up to better access to post-secondary education.”
Reich is pro-union, saying: “Unionization is not just good for workers in unions, unionization is very, very important for the economy overall, and would create broad benefits for the United States.”He also favors raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hr over three years, believing that it will not adversely impact big business, and will increase higher value worker availability.
Reich also supports an unconditional and universal basic income. On the eve of a June 2016 popular vote in Switzerland on basic income, he declared that countries will have to introduce this instrument sooner or later.

There aren’t many in our country who are as radically left as Reich.
This is from the Onion right?
Jesuss, these people have lost their minds.
Cry you liberal bitter clingers, I frolic happily
in an olympic size pool of your sweet tears.
Question, what do liberal bitter clingers hold on to?
It’s not god, it’s not guns, only their pitiful delusions
of grandeur of once being grandees.
Note to Reich, we don’t care if you snivel,
you ain’t getting the reins BACK.
There are so many positives to Trump becoming President.
He will actually work hard to achieve everything he promised in the campaign. He will have to FIGHT the progressives every inch of the way tho’ he’s up to the job.
He will not be appointing “old friends” to cabinet positions but people actually capable of doing the job. No return of favors and no one looking to “move on up” - ala Clinton!! Actually too many to count who rode to the WH on the coattails of a new president in the past two dem administrations.
He will not be dragging “old friends” into the WH with him.
No more Reich/Begala/Carville/Rice/Jarrett/Emanuel. Actually too many to count who rode to the WH and cabinet on coattails of a new president.
NO family moving in unless Melania’s parents do. I believe she did say they are considering moving from NYC to DC to be near them but I’m presuming they would be in their own home or perhaps the new DC hotel. At any rate, I don’t see it happening any time soon as long as Melania remains in NYC so Barron can finish school - at least through the final semester.
He (and Melania) will not be trying to prove anything by having the WH overhauled to their taste. They already have everything they want. No need to try to “impress” anyone and they will be more conservative with the taxpayer dollars. But AGAIN, they have to be ready to take the slings and arrows of which there will be plenty.
Work will finally begin on renovating the Oval Office and expect the media to jump all over the cost as being part of Trump’s administration when the work was authorized in 2013 and put off by the “clown that be” in the WH at the time.
Why is this any different than the political discord of the past 40 years?
At best they are claiming that "the Russians" exposed the true thoughts and behavior of a bunch of DNC staffers and Clinton supporters. And knowing the truth the voters rejected Clinton.
The media people who were a part of the conspiracies exposed by Wikileaks have a lot of nerve to be complaining about somebody exposing their actions. After all, isn't that supposed to be the job of the media?
And that...boils it all down in a few eloquent words. They fear that Onambla will be exposed as the usurper he is.
Reich is too short (in mental capacity) to see the horizon.
Whoops - copied and pasted lines elsewhere and they didn’t go away. No intention to double up on post....
I think the Democrat/Media is about to get an ass kicking of unheard proportions. He won’t let the lies slide.
