[DAILYCALLER] The public relations firm working behind the scenes with the faithless electors is rife with ties to prominent Democrats like President B.O. and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook... Megaphone Strategies, whose stated mission is to "use PR as a tool to diversify progressive movements," typically works with progressive causes like Black Lives Matter. The firm is representing the handful of "faithless electors" trying to keep President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... from winning the Electoral College vote.
The firm was co-founded by Van Jones, the former green jobs czar in the Obama White House who later resigned after it was revealed he signed a statement questioning whether the Bush administration had a role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Jones now works as a CNN commentator.

I'm not generally paranoid but the amount of $hit going on about the election results does have me a trifle concerned.
Could these criminal tyrant wannabes wind up triggering Civil War II? Most of me says no way, but there's that niggling doubt when all the various pieces start to add up. (see also DHS hacking states)

If they do one little thing that's even a little bit illegal, such as bribery or threats, then prosecute the hell outta them in January.

What I am wondering is what will they do when the electors choose Trump.
Most will whine and run to their safe-space. But some (Obama, Clinton, MSM,,,) will plot what they can do next.
Possibly try to declare the election void due to 'Russian Hacking'? they've been preparing that for months. And Obama is arrogant enough to think he has the authority.
[WSBTV] ATLANTA - Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Aaron Diamant has learned two more states’ election agencies have confirmed suspected cyberattacks linked to the same U.S. Department of Homeland Security IP address One rogue employee or a bunch of 'em all using the same computer?
as last month’s massive attack in Georgia. Rogue govt agencies. I think we voted against them.
The two states reporting the suspected cyberattacks were West Virginia and Kentucky. More argument in favor of paper ballots and purple finger.
"We need somebody to dig down into this story and figure out exactly what happened," said Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp.
In the past week, the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office has confirmed 10 separate cyberattacks on its network over the past 10 months that were traced back to DHS addresses.
"We're being told something that they think they have it figured out, yet nobody's really showed us how this happened," Kemp said. "We need to know."
He says the new information from the two other states presents even more reason to be concerned.
"So now this just raises more questions that haven't been answered about this and continues to raise the alarms and concern that I have," Kemp said.
Through an open-records request, Diamant acquired the results of a survey Kemp asked the National Association of Secretaries of State to send to its members.
West Virginia wrote back, "This IP address did access our election night results on November 7, 2016." Kentucky responded the same IP address "did touch the KY (online voter registration) system on one occasion, 11/1/16."
In a letter this week, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson told Kemp the department sourced the mid-November activity in Georgia to a federal contractor conducting what he called "normal" internet searches on the Secretary of State's website. But Kemp says there’s a problem with that answer.
"We haven't been able to recreate this the way they explained it to us," Kemp said.
Kemp also told Diamant that DHS has yet to explain at least nine other suspected network scans linked to DHS IP addresses over the last year on or around important primary and presidential election dates. Kemp's call for answers is amplified now by the National Association of Secretaries of State, or NASS.
"We have one administration leaving town and another coming in so it does remain to be seen just who will be left holding the bag if we don't get a great explanation on what has occurred very soon," said Kay Stimpson, with NASS.
Unsatisfied with the response he got from Johnson, Kemp fired off a letter Wednesday to loop in President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... . He is still awaiting a response.
"We just need to ask the new administration to take a look at this and make sure that we get the truth the people of Georgia are deserving to know that and really demanding it," Kemp said.
In an emailed statement the Kentucky Secretary of State's office told us it believes the IP address that sparked all this did not attack its system.
West Virginia's Secretary of State did not respond to our request for comment, neither did DHS.

Democrats who are having trouble getting out of the first stage of grief -- denial -- aren’t being helped by the fact that, now that all the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote has topped 2.8 million, giving her a 48% share of the vote compared with Trumps 46%.
To those unschooled in how the United States selects presidents, this seems totally unfair. But look more closely at the numbers and you see that Clinton’s advantage all but disappears.
As we noted in this space earlier, while Clinton’s overall margin looks large and impressive, it is due to Clinton’s huge margin of victory in one state -- California -- where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes than Trump.

Trump can sweeten the wall for Mexico City by renegotiate the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and return the California coast. Since its a treaty, it only takes 2/3rds of the Senate.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Sunday said she "regretted" her controversial tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton this summer while the FBI was still investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a secret server for her emails during her tenure as secretary of state.
While Lynch has never portrayed the June 27 Phoenix meeting as anything other than a cordial encounter, the lengthy tete-a-tete onboard Lynch's plane immediately raised questions about whether she – or the Justice Department – could be impartial in the Hillary Clinton investigation. Just days later, FBI Director James Comey called Hillary Clinton's actions "extremely careless" but declined to recommend charges.
"I wish I had seen around that corner and not had that discussion with the former president, as innocuous as it was, because it did give people concern," Lynch said on "State of the Union." "It did make people wonder, ‘Is it going to affect the investigation that's going on?' and that's not something that was an unreasonable question for anyone to ask." but was portrayed as that, amirite?
Asked why Clinton sought out the meeting with Lynch, the outgoing attorney general declined to speculate.
"Well, I can't say what President Clinton saw or thought because I wasn't in communication with him before that," Lynch said. "I don't know what was in his mind." "go ahead, pull the other one"

She should have known better, but figured they'd never get caught.

What was regrettable was that she was AG. What was regrettable was that being even worse than Holder was nearly impossible...

"Ellen had been walking her yellow lab Phoebe, distraught over the results and saying to herself, “If I see her, I see her” when she actually saw her, in the woods: Hillary Clinton coming around a bend."
My theory is they've internalized Hitler's fuhrerpinzip without realizing it. They don't campaign to elect chief executives so much as god-kings, and have convinced themselves their candidates are just shy of being deities. Similarly, they truly believe any opposition to them comes from a desire to do evil -- because leftists are all angels with totally pure motives.
The modt fortunate thing is the most delusional in their ranks are the ones least likely to engage with the real world. The least fortunate is they still have influence and even power.

Golly. How intimidating. Don't call his bluff, guys.
President Obama warned Russia on Friday not to wage cyber warfare against the United States, saying, "We can do stuff to you" as he defended his handling of Moscow's alleged hacking of Democrats' emails to influence the 2016 election.
"Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to Russia or others not to do this to us, because we can do stuff to you," Obama told reporters at his final press conference of 2016.
His comments came shortly after it was disclosed that the FBI agrees with the CIA's conclusions that Russia targeted Democrats with the aim of helping President-elect Donald Trump win on Nov. 8.
Obama promised that any U.S. retaliation against Russia would come "in a thoughtful, methodical way" that might be hidden from the U.S. public.
"Some of it we do publicly, some of it we will do in a way that they know but not everybody will," he said. "The message will be directly received by the Russians and not publicized."
Obama defended his response to Moscow's alleged intrusion, saying, "We handled it the way it should have been handled." This pernicious Obama regime is doing everything it can to not give legitimacy to the American people's election decision. Obama truly is a Soros, anti-American plant. Wikileaks said their information did not come from the Russians, but Presidente Zero stays with a Russian hacking theory.

On the other hand, the record shows what happens to a useful idiot when they're not useful any more to these guys. See - bad luck
I've held for a long time that Obama's usefulness as a live ex President probably isn't as valuable to The Cause as a Martyred ex president would be. He should really keep a LOW profile upon his retirement.

Baraq had eight years to do something and he failed. If I was Putin I don't think I'd be terribly concerned.

Okay. On this Sunday via MSM the regime is trying to tie all of their lies hacked Russia hacked the election to make Donald Trump a Russian puppet.
At least he is not a puppet of Iran like Obama was.

Apparently, they see they have no chance of stealing the Electoral College count on Monday.
Insightful of them. It will make what follows easier, albeit no less painful.
"It was like a wake with a band," quipped one guest who was at the Plaza on Thursday for Hillary Clinton’s holiday party to thank top-tier donors, VIP boosters and campaign advisers.
The source said, "It was a little bit of group therapy and a lot of love" among the losing Democratic rainmakers.
Spotted in the crowd were Clinton advisers Huma Abedin, John Podesta and Robby Mook, donors Alan Patricof, Bernard Schwartz, Marc Lasry, Jay Snyder and Robert Zimmerman, designers Vera Wang and Tory Burch, plus Anna Wintour, Harvey Weinstein and restaurateur Danny Meyer.
Also there were Bill and Chelsea Clinton and Chelsea’s husband, Marc Mezvinsky.
"No one has any illusion of ’the band coming back together again,’ but it did bring a sense of closure," said a Hillary backer of the possibility she’d come back as a candidate.
