Internal calls and emails reveal leaders of last-ditch effort to swing Electoral College from Donald Trump communicated with Clinton campaign officials
The Clinton camp kept its distance publicly and didn't explicitly endorse efforts
Senior advisors to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign kept in touch by phone and email with a driver of the ill-fated, last-ditch effort to dump Donald Trump at the electoral college.
The advisors kept tabs on Colorado elector Micheal Baca, who was helping try to persuade Republican members of the Electoral College to vote against Trump. The effort ultimately flamed out, although a handful of Clinton electors ultimately ended up voting for other people.
Baca himself is facing prosecution for his decision to cast his vote for Ohio Republican Governor John Kasich rather than Clinton, notwithstanding a state law directing him to back Clinton and the oath he swore.
Some members of the group Hamilton Electors had spoken of trying to engineer a victory for Kasich as an alternative to Trump, arguing that Trump was unfit for office despite his winning 306 electoral votes. Clinton beat Trump in the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.
Calls and emails with senior campaign aides Jennifer Palmieri and Jake Sullivan 'Look forward to being in touch'
In one email following up to a call with Clinton advisor Jake Sullivan, Baca apologized for being overly urgent, in one of multiple internal emails obtained by Politico.
'Not at all! We all share a sense of urgency,' Sullivan wrote Baca. 'Look forward to being in touch.'

Judging by how tremendously horrible their little coup went over....Id say the Clinton campaign had to be directly involved.

Yes, I seem to recall that a certain FBI Director was threatened with exactly that if he had the temerity to recommend indictment of Hillary back before the Democrat convention.
I’ve heard that if you want to kill the king, make sure you kill the king. On the other hand, these Electoral College protestors were having a group purse fight with themselves.
Did someone tape Loretta Lynch’s big mouth shut?
Was there any doubt?
Add sedition to the long list
Lock her up
George Soros was probably in the bathroom or taking a nap at the time.
It's obvious isn't it? The Russian hackers gave it to them. /sarcasm
“In Touch”. Nah, it was a planned coup that failed. I am so tired of fake news.
Not a bit surprising. They have now been able to use the EC to help them every time they don’t like the election results.
this is a huge victory for them, even though she lost.
Nonsense. Free speech is free speech.
The Wicked Witch attempted to manipulate the Electoral College into overthrowing the election and the result was a net gain of 3 electoral votes FOR TRUMP!
I hope the Trump DOJ finds enough charges to put each Clinton in the federal penitentiary for 500 years.
ROFL...Old Bag Clinton lost more than she gained....I think this is so funny, she lost 7 voters, 1 in Maine that wanted to vote for Sanders, and couldn’t; 1 in Mass; 1 in Minnesota and they had to be replaced to vote for Old Bag Clinton, and then Colin Powell got 3 votes in Washington with Faith Spotted Eagle with 1 vote...so The Old Bag Clinton lost more than she had...
People cannot stand that POS...and she wonders why people are not ‘flocking’ to her side, from what we heard: ‘she smells like urine and farts and when was the last time she bathed’...maybe that’s why she’s out in the woods, but she best be careful, bears love those smells!!!
I guess they didn’t realize they were to get Trump electors to change their vote not Hillary’s. Retarded flying monkeys?
No! Who would have guessed?
States can end this circus by assigning the votes to the winning candidate without electors.
There have to be Electors for there to be electoral votes. See Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 and the 23rd Amendment.
