McConnell: No Federal Money for Investigating Voter Fraud
Breitbart - Big Government ^ | 2-5-2017 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 02/06/2017 3:46:35 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he would not spend federal funds investigating what President Trump says is “massive voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election.”

McConnell told CNN’s Jake Tapper that, although there are instances of voter fraud, he believes that it’s not “as widespread as Trump claims” and that combating voter fraud should be an issue “best left to the states” instead of the federal government.

“Election fraud does occur,” he told CNN’s State of the Union, adding that “there’s no evidence that occurred in such a significant number that it would have changed the presidential election.”

And I am rather curious why everyone is so anxious to shut down this investigation.

I should think it obvious ... They want the investigation shut down because they KNOW what it will find.

He certainly planned for it during the Mississippi Senate runoff election between Chris McDaniel and Thad Cochran. McConnell paid for racist ads against McDaniel and then organized Democrats to cross over and vote for Cochran, many ineligible due to already voting for the Democrat in the general election.

“””http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/nvra/laws-standards/nvra-manual/chapter-5/

VI. Voter Registration Cards where the voter indicates he or she is not a U.S. Citizen:
The VRC asks the applicant if he or she is a United States citizen. The voter may check either “Yes”, “No”, or not check either box.
If the voter indicates, by checking the “yes” box, that he or she is a U.S. citizen, the registration should be processed normally.
If the voter indicates, by checking the “No” box, that he or she is not a U.S. citizen, the registration may not be entered on the voter rolls. The elections official should send the voter a returnable card or letter requesting clarification as to whether or not the voter is a U.S. citizen. If the voter returns the card indicating that he or she is a U.S. citizen, the VRC should be entered on the voter rolls. If the card is returned and the voter indicates he or she is not a citizen, or if no response is received from the voter, then the voter shall not be registered.
If the voter does not check either the “Yes” or “No” box, and the registration is otherwise complete, the registration should be processed normally and entered on the voter rolls.”””


The above is an excerpt from the California Secretary of State website. Those instructions alone should be reason to immediately investigate voter fraud.

Here is the problem as I see it. We have “big government globalists (BGG’s) “ in control of both political parties and the BGG’s believe open borders and world citizenship is ok.

McConnell and a whole bunch of Republicans are BGG puppets.

Remember Jeb Bush and the millions of dollars he had in his campaign chest from the Bib Government Globalists?

Yesterday, I emailed the above excerpt from the California Sec of State and they were shocked that voter registration was so corrupt in California.

At 4:45 mark, President Trump indicates that voter registrations of aliens, dead people, and people registered in more than one place amount to millions. This is true. But, this is not what he is quoted as saying. He is quoted as saying votes, not registrations. Perhaps he was bring more careful in this interview than in the past, and the media are referring to something he said in the past. You know, the way the media continually talk about his Muslim ban. Trump may be the most honest “politician” there is, in terms of speaking his mind on issues. The media “rewards” him for his honesty by treating an opinion spoken off the cuff as though it was a fully-informed policy position. The media are being dishonest.

Of that I have no doubt. When you have a multi trillion dollar annual budget there is an awful lot of money sloshing around. It just needs to be redeployed in useful ways.

This guy's statement is ludicrous on its face.

Voter fraud is a Federal crime.

I'm positive it's this......and this and this.

THIS-—Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers Homes Days Before Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy
Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

ITEM..... Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

ITEM-—The guest list for an earlier event at the home of John Podesta was limited to reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. —snip—

===================================

ITEM-—Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013.

So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.

ITEM——I hope talk hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher, Seth Myers, Trevor Noah and Conan O’Brien have their lawyers on retainer and speed dial.

....because if the Trump Administration uncovers that the DNC and the Clintons were directly working with any member of media and their writing staff during the 2016 Presidential election, they could be charged with violating Federal election laws.

=============================================

THIS--CAUGHT ON TAPE---Nov 5, 2016---Obama encourages illegal aliens to vote without fear of being deported

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfgEvgVC6Qs

==================================================

FOLLOW THE MONEY---Obama provided tons of money to fix the presidential election; a voter fraud campaign they hoped might alter the course of the elections not to mention the future of the United States.

Obama and Congressional Democrats----with a huge assist from then-AG Eric Holder----gaven NeighborWorks America (formerly ACORN) and La Raza a huge funding source of tax dollars (to achieve Obama's dream of a permanent Democrat majority?).

<><> Obama/Holder/Dems extorted banks via DOJ litigation/bank settlements----into paying off these nefarious organizations.

DOJ went after CitiCorp and ordered them to pay $50 million to La Raza and NeighborWorks America as part of the settlement.

Another clause in the agreement makes it possible for La Raza and NeighborWorks America to rake in even larger amounts of money.

Of the remaining money the banks needed to pay in settlements, the banks were able to contribute additional money to La Raza and NeighborWorks America. For every dollar they contribute, it reduces their debt to the government by 2 dollars. That’s some mighty powerful incentive to give generously.

==================================================

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling have questioned why this money was sent to the ACORN clone and the blood-thirsty LaRaza----rather than to the alleged victims of the bank’s crime. The administration of course declined to answer.

Here's part of the Congressmen's letter to Holder: “It seems that the alleged victims are not the primary beneficiaries of these multi-billion dollar settlements. Instead, the terms in the Justice Department’s two latest settlements look less like consumer relief and more like a scheme to funnel money to politically favored special interest groups.”

“This makes donations to activist groups far more attractive to banks than providing direct relief to injured consumers. As a result, the settlements appear to serve as a vehicle for funding activist groups rather than as a means of securing relief for consumers actually harmed.”

============================================

MOTOR VOTER FRAUD: In Washington State to get the vote all you need to do is "complete a transaction" at any office...this means taking a number to ask for a brochure qualifies at any DMV office. Take a number, ask for a brochure......et voila.....you get to vote.

THIS IS FOR HILLARY-- MOTOR VOTER SIGNING--Everything conman Clinton did in office needs to be reexamined. Bill Clinton signs motor voter bill of 1993.

That's the bill's pushers Alinsky radicals, Cloward and Piven, looking over his shoulder.

Hmm, let’s see. A lot of voter fraud in California is due to motor/voter registration. I am sure Calif State Transportation Dept. gets money from the US Dept of Transportation. Task the Sec of Transportation with investigating motor/voter fraud. Now the Sec of Transportation happens to be The Turtles wife. Let’s see The Turtle explain to his wife why she isn’t getting the money she needs to carry out an order from the President.

Fine. No Federal money. I’m sure President Trump can assemble a group of States who would be happy to contribute, and work closely with TrueTheVote.com.

this Quaker Oats looking puppet mouth RINO would probably say the same thing about the IRS and Hillary and Obama, ‘Sure there may have been instances of wrong doing, but nothing to warrant an expensive investigation’

“What the hell is wrong with these people? How do we get them out of there? Trump has NOBODY helping him and us.”

It sure seems like that. Before he was elected, it was Trump (and us) against the vile RATS, the GOP and the media. Now we’ve won. And it’s STILL Trump (and us) against the vile RATS, the GOP and the media. Sure makes you realize how our political parties have turned into RAT and RAT-lite.

I was happy when the govt. was shutdown when Obama was in and maybe it needs to happen again with idiots like McConnell in place.
