Electors press for intelligence briefing on Russian interference before Electoral College vote

At least 10 members of the Electoral College are asking U.S. intelligence officials for more information on ongoing investigations surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's relationship with Russia.

The electors, including the daughter of Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Christine Pelosi, wrote an open letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asking for the information ahead of their Dec. 19 meeting to vote for the next president.

"The Electors require to know from the intelligence community whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations," the letter read. "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."

I hope these unfaithful electors understand two facts. One, they will have to go home one day, and two, their addresses, phone numbers, car registrations, family names, property owned, etc is or can be known.

Just saying...

Congress people are not eligible to be electors.

Yes. It’s Chris Suprum, along with nine DemonRats.

I don't think we ever witnessed anything like this before.
The recounts showed they cheated, so they stopped it.
Unreal..
Obama has said a number of times he would not let Trump undo any of his policies. In other words he would not allow Donald Trump be President. I believe we are in danger...
Never forget, Obama "I have a pen and a phone" Somethings up..

Oh, absolutely, they should have the briefing... After they go through a through background check and each one which fails or refuses to cooperate with the check shall be replaced with an alternate.

Anyone care to bet how many of the 10 are eliminated during the check? (Or refuse to participate in the check and thus denied the information they’re demanding?)

There was also no concern whatsoever amongst the democrats, and McCain, Rubio, Linseed Graham, etc. about the British company owned by George Soros; the British company made voting machines used in sixteen U.S. states. American citizens complained during early voting that straight-line Republican votes switched Trump votes to Clinton.

Where was (is) the outrage about this situation?

And the millions of illegal alien voters?

And the multiple voters voting repeatedly in the names of deceased people and non-existent people?

I assume little Miss Pelosi is a democrat elector.

I don't believe a current federal office-holder can be an elector.

Insight into the real backstory.

It dawned on me yesterday that the complete BS about Russia was step one of an orchestrated scheme to bully electors. The media’s next assignment is to publicize this fake request as if it had substance, and trot out another round of fake news.

Yes, that’s who he is: https://medium.com/@electoralcollege16/bipartisan-electors-ask-james-clapper-release-facts-on-outside-interference-in-u-s-election-c1a3d11d5b7b#.ysd9iau38

it’s about whose ox is Gored.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Counting on lefties to hang on to this nonsense long after it has been aired and debunked in most quarter.

Democrats are shameless
They bring on many changes
And you can leave them behind if you please

She wants to influence other Electors.

McCain calls ‘Russian Hacking’ a form of warfare. He is onboard with the democrats on this. He and other RINOS to be sure. All who subscribe to ‘Trump Win Due To Russian Hacking’ are traitors.

38 Electors will need to be flipped from Trump to Clinton in order for Trump and the Trump movement to be denied the Presidency.

[Pollster1]

No security clearance. No background check. No need to know. No access to classified material. They do not need to know about Russia’s activities to know the certified vote counts for their states. The election is over, and the traitors and the tyrant wannabe lost.

[Redleg Duke]

Like the electors in the states won by Hitlery are not going to vote for Trump, anyway!

[VanDeKoik]

There are lots of former CIA guys. Most of them whore out their “services” to conspiracy radio shows and websites that think these guys are all like these super insiders with tons of “good Intel”.

[itsahoot]

A coup d’etat will not be tolerated.

It was 8 years ago.

[daler]

And if you didn’t read past the headline, you would likely think Trump’s presidency hangs in the balance.

FAKE NEWS STORY CREATED BY WASHINGTON POST!!

CIA: Washington Post Report Linking Russian Government to Trump & Election Hacking Is “Outright Lie”

{Some choice quotes..}

The Central Intelligence Agency is declaring the Washington Post’s much-hyped story linking the Russian government to hacking the presidential election to help Donald Trump an “outright lie,” according to CIA personnel with direct knowledge of the case.

...

“It’s an outright lie,” a CIA analyst divulged to True Pundit. “There’s nothing definitive like that. There are leads from activity originating in Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Britain, France, China and Russia.”

CIA and intelligence sources, however, quickly countered McCain’s claims as speculative at best, saying his information is simply not accurate and he, as the Arizona senator has done previously, was grandstanding for the media without knowing key facts.

“If he (McCain) in fact is being told that information, it is bad information,” a CIA source said,

Sadly, he said, the Washington Post’s recent practices are not the exception but the rule at the newspaper.

“They just make news up, fabricate whatever news was required at the time, especially when they were scooped or embarrassed by other publications,” said Gregg Morris.
