Hillary Clinton’s top political adviser John Podesta said the campaign is supporting an effort by members of the Electoral College to request 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.”

And .. who are they that they’re entitled to receive an “intelligence briefing” ..???? Are any of them currently on an intel committee ..????; are any of them the PRESIDENT-ELECT ..?????
What am I missing - and only one reply is necessary .. not 100.
THIS is what Podesta meant when he took the stage on Election night. Sedition, plain and simple.
Trump is absolutely insane if he does not see to it this criminal BITCH isn’t indicted and sent away. This is not going to end with her, past the electoral vote she will continue to do everything she can to get revenge, up to and including murder. GET HER THE HELL OFF THE STREETS! SHE IS A CAREER CRIMINAL DONALD!! Seriously, this is no joke, she’s going to go after his family next if she hasn’t already. She IS a psychotic criminal!

Trump showed Hillary Kindness, she rightly saw that as weakness, so we went through a “Recount”, “Fake News”, and now this.
I think you are right. I have hoped that this election would be a tipping point in exposing their partisanship.
For a long time I have only watched Fox Business channel for news and commentary. But since the election I have visited CNN and MSNBC a few times. Each time I did it was obvious that they have gotten so carried away with their despair that they are turning even the most insignificant stories into opportunities for political spin. (and it ain't workin')
The election is over. Trump won. there is nothing they can do— nothing.
No, tomorrow is the certification deadline to get the #s to the Congress; the electors meet in their state capitals on 12/19.
Total losers.
Or maybe they think it all to clever for the Russians to put Debbie Wasserman-Schulz in as Chair of the DNC to assure the nomination of the worst presidential candidate in US history.
That’s right. Got ahead of myself.
If they have PROOF of this, why not just have a press conference and lay it all out on the table for ALL of us to see it????
Answer: they have nothing.
When will they learn. W showed a distaste for fighting back so they skewered him. Now Trump has softened since his election and they only take advantage of his taking his foot off the gas. He should be out there informing people of Hillary’s breath taking lawlessness. And he should deport Soros.

Not going anywhere. Rest of ic community will not go along with bogus cia report conclusion.
The Electors’ “solemn responsibility” is being totally mischaracterized.
The “solemn responsibility” of electors, according to the recent Clinton line of propaganda, is to vote their conscience (in other words vote against Trump even though he won their winner take all state).
This is hogwash. Their solemn responsibility is to their state. To say otherwise is like saying a Senator elected as a Republican on a conservative platform should betray his constituents and vote with the democrats if he feels like it.
Representing means representing, not acting on your own behalf.
Electors exist for the exact same reason that senators exist: to represent the state as a whole, to give the state a little more clout regardless of population size. The states demanded this representation when they ratified the constitution, and they adopted and maintain winner take all rules all these years (with two minor exceptions) for this very reason.
If any elector really believes that his solemn responsibility is to put his own personal ‘conscience’ ahead of the will of the voters of his state, I strongly advise that he think again. I do not think he will be given a parade for it - in fact, I shudder to think of the wrath he would face for such a betrayal.
