trump attacking Hillary over election recount

woodsman said:
You are so missing the point with his statement on this, he left a barn sized back door open to go after HRC. look back at how he and the surrogates termed this softening, “Personally”. Congress and the FBI are still in play, the new and approved justice department with a Trump AG will absolutely destroy the Clintons and their fake foundation. Trump can sit back and repeat he “personally” disapproves but can’t control autonomies agencies.

According to new reports, President-elect Donald Trump will ask his ambassadors to probe the Clinton Foundation.

Foxnews.com reported: There has been a new twist in the investigation into the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, Sandra Smith reported.

Ambassadors to certain countries may be asked to pressure the governments with which they are the liaison to commence their own investigations into their relationships with the foundation.

The Post reported that two countries targeted in particular are Haiti and Colombia.

Trump Just Changed His Mind-Hillary Is Finished

I look forward to Trump Tweeting that he will reconsider his statement that he won't pursue charges against Hillary, now that she is participating in the recount.

I'm sure that will go over really well at the Department of Justice.

Trump Threatens To Prosecute Hillary Clinton If She Pursues An Election Recount

By Jason Easley on Sun, Nov 27th, 2016 at 2:44 pm


Full transcript via CNN’s State Of The Union:


Trump Senior Adviser Kellyanne Conway delivered a threat to prosecute Hillary Clinton if she pursues the recount during an interview on CNN's State Of The Union.

Conway was issuing a not so thinly veiled threat to Hillary Clinton. If Clinton’s team continues to assist with the recount, the former Secretary of State may face prosecution. The incoming administration is expressing their willingness to punish anyone who questions or expresses dissent.

Trump’s reaction to the recount and threat to prosecute Hillary Clinton is not normal, and a sign that the incoming administration has an expansive and authoritarian view of executive powers that could represent a grave danger to the civil liberties and freedoms of the American people


Trump Threatens To Prosecute Hillary Clinton If She Pursues An Election Recount


The belief is that Trump will lay low during the hiatus until after he takes office. Then exact revenge for the recount by persecuting/prosecuting Hillary Clinton and bend the laws to suit Trump.

FBI Trumpville and AG Sessions will be more than pleased to follow orders. A mass of us however are not now, nor are we going to be, good Germans.

Donald Trump: The Uniquely American Fascist.
 
trumps stupid comments are guaranteeing recounts in WI, MI and Ohio. What a moron.

Donald Trump: The Uniquely American Fascist.

Hillarious coming from your failed candidate (Hillary) who stated she was "horrified" and "appalled" that Trump wouldn't outright accept the election results.

 
Trump himself undermined the election results and he's aggravating it all the more now saying millions of illegals voted and that minus them he won the legitimate popular vote.

We are looking at Donald Trump the first and uniquely American fascist.

Trump has been busily undermining democracy openly and shamelessly for most of this year. After he's finished at some point undermining democracy enough, he'll take the next profoundly radical step.

Too many Americans however are not good Germans. We are good Americans which has the directly opposite meaning.

In true trumpish style, the President-elect is attacking Hillary Clinton for participating in the vote recounts in PA, Wisconsin, Michigan.
Click to expand...

In typical media style, they spent a week grilling Trump surrogates and having morning show hypothesizing sessions asking whether TRUMP would accept the results of the election and basically forgoing even conceiving of such a question for Hillary. Yet here we are, 20 days after the election, with the side who the media wasn't asking "will you accept the results" indicating a reversal on their acceptance of the results.

Hillary lost by less than 1% in these states. That warrants a recount.

Please do some cursory research in the future. He won by less than 1% in Michigan. He won by roughly 3% in Wisconsin and over 1% in Pennsylvania.

Why would trump oppose a recount?
Click to expand...

A large variety of reasons, some potentially problematic and others potentially reasonable. Without more information, it's impossible to really say for sure why outside of idle speculation.

This recount is another leftist attempt at creating chaos and division. Proof the left doesn't care about the country or moving forward.

It's far more likely that it's a last ditch effort in hopes of a hail mary. I doubt the amount of effort, and money, needing to be employed here is being done simply to "create chaos". That's a useless goal in and of itself.
 
Sietske22 said:
I can accept the candidate requesting the recount paying for it.
Click to expand...

And that's my problem with the Stein recount. Leaving aside the fact that she has no way of gaining 1%, let alone becoming President, no way her campaign is generating enough money to pay for it. Trump has no reason to contest, so that leaves Hillary.

If Hillary wants a recount, let her admit it and pay for it above board.

It depends how long of a view they are taking - if creating chaos is a long term goal to undermine Trump and the Presidency, that may simply be the first step to the 2020 election. Perhaps I'm giving these people too much credit as well as assume they could formulate a strategic and tactical plan of action to bear fruit 4 years from now, but it's possible if not very probable.

The Clinton's have to have one of their toadies do it for them; Stein is no Green Party anything, she's bucking for a (D) next to her name and this is how she pledges fealty to the Progressives.

From what I am understanding, both sides are saying the recount outcome will not change anything. It's just another way the left is attempting to make it appear DJT is not legit. In other words, leftists are doing this to create chaos and havoc in the country. They are truly spoiled children.

If anyone is trying to undermine the election, it would be the leftists. Leftists started this recount crap, so don't go blaming DJT for making comments when this is another leftist sh*t sammich they are serving up for the nation.

Nice try.

She also lost Florida by about 1%. There was definitely a lot of voter/election fraud but Wikileaks, Project Veritas and Blackboxvoting show that aside from a couple of individuals it was 100% in favor of Hillary.

Hillary and the DNC did not call for recounts weeks ago because they know that close scrutiny will show their criminal activity and that Trump won the popular as well as the electoral vote.

They are only getting on board now because they know the recount will happen with or without them.

Which equates to Trump's margin in Pennsylvania being 70,638 votes.

Yeah, so? Your point?

Since when has a 1.2% margin ever been a reason for a recount?
 
Crovax said:
Except the vote wasn't close, as we get so many votes even with less than 1% Trump still has a 20,000 vote lead. Unless there was massive fraud or major mistakes there is no way a recount will shift that many votes. Not to mention even when there is a close enough margin for a real recount and it does flip an election what happens after could not be described by anyone as "healthy for democracy"

The issues being looked at are electronic voting inconsistencies.

Computer scientists urge Clinton campaign to challenge election results

The group informed John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, and Marc Elias, the campaign's general counsel, that Clinton received 7% fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic voting machines, which the group said could have been hacked.​

The only other alternative for the left is the resurgence of leftists terror groups such as those in the 60's/70's, where they blow things up and killed people. That's next.

My point is that 1.2% = 70,000 vote margin apparently. That's the point. What's your point?
