CBS NEWS December 12, 2016 Clinton Campaign Supports Briefing Electoral College on Russian Interference

John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, says her campaign supports the request of some Electoral College members for an intelligence briefing about possible Russian interference in the presidential election.

“Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed,” Podesta said in a statement Monday.

He was responding to an open letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper written by 10 electors (nine Democrats and one Republican) and posted on Medium. The electors wrote about their concern about the U.S. intelligence community’s assertion -- made with “high confidence”-- that Russia “acted covertly to interfere in the presidential campaign with the intent of promoting Donald Trump’s candidacy” and about Mr. Trump’s rejection of the intelligence community’s judgment.

Why does Clinton still have a campaign and campaign staff?

She lost.

Clinton and her supporters have probably spent as much after the election, as Trump did prior to it.

Sorry....Not a part of our process. These are not babies. They are ALL politically bent. That Pelosi’s daughter is one of them says a lot. Is Chelsea a delegate?

You are absolutely right. Trump must now announce an independent counsel inquiry into Clinton’s e-mails and the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary lost twice; the election, and the electioneering recount. She will lose this attempted coup attempt, also.

Not weakness. Trump is playing 3-D chess. Would have happened no matter what. After January 20 I’m not going to be one bit surprised if a special prosecutor gets appointed.

Podesta may not like it much if the investigation included the contents of those emails

Trump campaign supports advising Electoral College about the extent Clinton intentionally compromised national security. If it wasn’t intentional, such behavior was fatally and disqualifyingly incompetent.
