Electoral College Members Ask For Intelligence Briefing

Posted On 12 Dec 2016

This week, ten members of the Electoral College sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper demanding an intelligence briefing on Russia’s association with Donald Trump and their interference in the 2016 election. A group of electors – nine Democrats and one Republican – are asking U.S. officials to give them all the information they have about Russian involvement before they cast their votes on December 19.

“The Electors require to know from the intelligence community whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations,” they wrote. “We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States.”

Among the signatories is Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, so you can judge for yourself if this is anything more than a partisan attempt to take Trump down. The sole Republican elector signed to the letter is Chris Suprun from Texas, who made waves last week when he said he would not cast his vote for the billionaire. So far, no other Republican electors have made any attempt to thwart the will of the people.

The younger Pelosi said the electors needed classified information to make the best decision possible next Tuesday.

“Yes, we the Electors should have temporary security clearance to perform our constitutional duty in reviewing the facts regarding outside interference in the US election and the intelligence agencies should declassify as much data as possible while protecting sources and methods so that the American people can learn the truth about our election,” said Pelosi.

If the electors are to overthrow the results, they’ll have to talk at least 36 more Republicans into betraying their mission statement. So far, that looks like a losing cause. Democrats are hoping, apparently, that there’s something so explosive in the intelligence community’s findings that it would leave Republicans with no other choice but to jump over to Hillary Clinton.

There’s very little chance that President Obama will suddenly grant all 538 electors security clearance, so this is just the Democrats shaking the tree to see what falls out.

They might want to be careful about that.

CIA, FBI in Conflict Over Russian Election Meddling

MAHB001

Is there any doubt that the Clinton machine hasn’t attempted to rig this election? I see this Russian Hack thing as nothing more than a red herring attempt to draw our attention away from the real corruption of the ELITE party. Project Veritas exposed the corruption, which forced it underground, now the elites are trying to save it for the next time.

The corruption is not from the outside, it is from the inside.

Elite Republicans = Elite Democrats = Elite MEDIA = Big Government Communism.

  The problem is that Hillary and gang could provoke the Third World War. Hillary has no qualms with that.
  - MAHB001
    
    Hillary and gang might just still provoke a second civil war….. And I think that would suit Hillary and 0bama’s purpose just fine…

    Yes, you know when Obama got elected, we were all very upset but I do not know anyone that rioted/or took the streets. After Obama started doing his “thing”, again we were
    dumbfounded that congress were not stopping him. Still no rioting even after every thing he has done. I guess we are educated and above all that nonsense!

The desperation is showing. The Hillary/Stein camp cannot control their disbelief that they lost in such a landslide. They are truly angered that the American people did not choose them. To cover up their incredible shame, they are creating schemes to try and reverse the will of the people. Not going to happen.
- MAHB001
  
  The American people never would have elected Hillary. Hillary is mad because her machine failed at rigging the election.
  
  Hillary planned on stealing the election regardless of the peoples votes. The election was rigged until Project Veritas released their sting videos.

    Next we may hear the people who set up the machines place the candidates name over the wrong button and the rigged voting scheme aided Trump instead of the hag.

    The Hillary. Stein coupe did us a favor. By asking for a recount in Michigan they found that at least 37% of the votes were fraudulent. It seems that the poll workers would put Hillary ballots through and then tell them it didn’t work. Then they would so it again and again so the ballot was counted multiple times. Hmm, who is rigging what? Their going to find that it wasn’t the Russians along, it was the DNC.
    - MAHB001
      
      That is exactly what I have been saying. This whole Russian thing is a red herring, designed to cover up the real rigging.. The rigging Hillary did to achieve any votes at all.
      - Joseph Vanchieri
        
        Amen to that. I can almost guarantee that if they did a complete recount state to state President Trump would have had the popular vote too.

  Tthe “will of the people” is the popular vote and HRC won that. Trump’s less than 50% popular vote total only represents a skewed result based on an 18th century concept designed to protect the then less populated and then slave holding states.
  - BRICE FREED
    
    Hillary also had less than 50%, so she also didn’t have the popular vote. Ok lets go by number of states won, or number of counties won. That would be a better representation of the cross-section of the United States. Trump won both of those criteria.

    Great, if you are correct, get everybody to pass a contitutional ammendment, and we will use the popular vote. Until then we will continue to use the Electoral college system, which favors smaller states on a per capita basis. By the way, on this same logic CA and NY should have 8 or 10 senators and WY should have none…
    Our entire government is designed to be checks and balances… but if it makes the snowflakes happy to know with 3 million illegal allien votes in CA, HRC wins the popular vote, then so be it.
    - thereasonableman
      
      Evidence of 3 mil illegal votes in CA-I mean evidence the new AG can use to get indictments and take to trial, not just DJT’s rants? …Hmmm, I didn’t think so. About the rest, am not advocating changing Congress, only getting rid of the electoral college so that every vote matters, regardless of your state of residence,
      - Dylan Davis
        
        There is proof of over 1,000 illegals who were registered to vote in Virginia. Unfortunately they were not caught trying to vote because the poll workers were unaware of their status so they were just removed from the rolls after the fact. How long and how many more is not yet known, however this was only in 8 counties where Virginia has 95.
      - thereasonableman

        If you get rid of the Electorate Liberals Will win every election. With NYC, Philidephia, Chicago plus all California’s cities. That would be your popular vote. So what say would the rest of us have. Hence the Electoral College. Our founders knew what they were doing. No Electorate no freedom. Just tyranny.

    - thereasonableman
      
      You are somewhat correct about the constitutional amd. The electoral college and the senate are the opposite of per capita representation.
    - Joseph Vanchieri
      
      I have explained the Electorate over and over again. I did it so my 10 year old grandson could understand and Liberals just can’t seem to grasp that without the Electorate 70% of the States would have no voice just the most populated government dependant areas would. The east and west coast would decide for the rest of the country. The problem with Liberals understanding this is they choose not to. To them getting elected isn’t about serving the people. It’s about power and that is why they want to do away with anything that could get in their way. Including our Founding documents. After all there’s no way the Founders were that smart and inciteful.

    Hillary got the most popular votes ONLY because of the votes in that foreign country – California. Of course, liberals don’t want you to know it was California and its’ “snowflakes” who gave them the ability to say, “SHE won the popular vote, (so SHE should be president). Sorry, but that is not how it works folks, but nice try. Another failure?

      Like I said all across this country there were illegals voting.

      What don’t you get about Electoral College, popular vote is not how elections are wonderful. Take away illegal voting and she would have lost the popular vote as well.
  - Sandman
    
    Not so fast, You need to subtract the votes by illegal aliens. OBOZO did an interview with a illegal woman and she asked him what would happen if she voted. Much to my surprise he replied no one is going to question you. Which really doesn’t surprise me. He talks about the Russians hacking into the system when illegals are hacking into the system on American soil. What a joke these socialists are.

  Since when do “electorates” have the proper “security clearances” to even SEE this (what I see as) fabricated “intelligence”? What’s next? Little green men from outer space “hacked in”?

      Actually, as I understand it, Hillary’s security clearance was voided when it became a proven fact that she violated the terms of the clearance sharing the information with those not cleared and authorized. Why she isn’t sitting in a jail cell right now is beyond comprehension
      - MAHB001
        
        It is common knowledge in the security world that Hillary could not obtain a security clearance for a normal peons job within the Government.

    The big deal might be no vote before Jan 20 and then Obama declares martial law until things get straightened out?
    - Texasimport
      
      That would be a problem. However maybe it would just go to the house and they would put him in office.
      - David in MA
        
        That is the way it is designed, BUT, under martial law El Presidente would be the supreme dictator and congress would be suspended……….. then, with the illegal immigrant forces Obama has infiltrated America with, it would get very interesting.

They are tasked with a simple job to do not the Peoples representative duties. I can’t imagine electors having the authority to make decisions that require they be allowed to evaluate matters related to ongoing CIA and FBI probes! If this is legit and not “fake news” (the left is known for the latter) then I imagine we will see this request ignored or shot down imminently.
Interesting that a Pelosi “dynasty” is alluded to 😂😂😂may the good Lord save us from that eventuality😇

What they need to be asking the goverment during their briefing is why did our goverment try and hack into the system. What was their motives and they can’t use to see if we could.

Notice that 9 of the 10 are Hillary Electors.

Here’s your job you were elected to do, Electors: Cast your vote for the person you were selected for by the American people who voted for you. You are supposed to vote for the Democrat if that’s what you said you would do. And vote for the Republican if that’s what you said you would do.

And to that one Republican who won’t vote for Trump, you made a solemn promise to the people who selected you, to vote for the Republican. You have already proved that your word is worth nothing.

And to the 9 Democrats…who would you vote for if you changed your mind?

Hold up the election, and Obama is liable to pull some horrible trick.

  I guess I don’t understand all I know about the Electoral college system.. Why do we have people voting again when the people have already made it known who they wanted. Why is it possible for these people to change the election results by not voting the way the people wanted. We are allowing 270 people decide who will be president? This would be like voting for 538 people and the party that got 270 votes wins the election. The people have spoken. Why do we have a system that can override the will of the people and decide who the next president is, That seems more like a dictatorship than a democracy..
  - Brenda
    
    Ten you should read up on the Electoral College system. But basically it is a safe guard against having future presidents selected rather than elected. Without the College, the heavily populated areas would be the deciders in any presidential race. Mostly the East Coast and the West Cost and the rest of the country would have no voice.
    - J.B.Jacobs
      
      I think you misunderstood my comment. The electoral college has already decided who the next president is by the vote of the people. Why are they allowed to change their vote and the outcome of the election now, after the people have already decided who they want. That just don’t seem right to me. Why do we have another vote. The people have already decided who won the electoral college.
      - Brenda
        
        In a normal election cycle the Electoral College will vote to uphold the people’s choice. Many states have laws that say the electors must uphold the will of the people, others have no such restraints and can for various reasons change their votes.
        As for the reason for the electoral college vote, it has to do with the way the college was set up to insure that future presidents were not selected by the larger populated states. For example: Clinton won the popular vote in the highly populated states of the North East and West Coast. Trump won the popular vote in the “fly over states”, states that had no large urban area or massive population centers. Were there no electoral college that actually gave the rest of the Nation an opportunity to have a say in the election process then she would have become President..
      - J.B.Jacobs
        
        I understand the reasoning behind the electoral college vote. Can you tell me how they determined how many electoral college votes each state would get. Was it by the population, the registered voters or whatever. If it’s the population, does the number of votes each state gets go up and down with the population. I just never did understand why they had to have a second vote when the college votes were already counted.
      - Jim Tuggle
        
        Each state get’s one vote for their Senator and one vote for each representative in Congress. It totals out to 539 of which you must get at least 270 to win…Donald Trump got 309 so he won.
      - Brenda
        
        Each state appoints the number of electors. They equal the number of Senators and Representatives each state is entitled to have. The number of Senators has always been two per state, but the number of Representatives can be influenced by the number of people living in that state per the latest Census.
        The College votes were not counted. What was counted was the number of votes, by the people, for the candidate of their choice.
        Under normal elections the electors would support the votes of the citizens of their state. But, in contentious elections the lines become blurred and the intent of the Electoral College is elevated to a “morality” issue, an issue not supported by the Constitution..

        Many of her votes have been dead for awhile, many more are the ILLEGALS OF EVERY ILK. Ship em out now.
      - Jim Tuggle
        
        They are not supposed to change the vote as reflected by the will of the people. Those who change the vote are called in the Constitution UNFAITHFUL ELECTORS and at one time they would be subject to severe criminal action by their states. As part of the conspiracy to destroy our government over the years this has been changed in a number of states to allow them to vote their conscience [which I doubt an unfaithful elector would possess if the do not do that which they were forsworn to do]
    - Deborah G
      
      THAT would suit the Democrats just fine. They cry Fairness but the reality is that is EXACTLY what they are dead set against
  - David in MA
    
    In over 20 states there is a state law they vote for the candidate who got the popular vote, regardless of their personal wish.
    - J.B.Jacobs
      
      I used to think that was the way a democracy worked, but I guess not. I guess there’s nothing wrong with the electoral college. I don’t think once a person wins the majority of the electoral votes because thats what the people wanted, they should be able to change the outcome of the election, by not voting the way the people wanted.
      - David in MA
        
        Thankfully America is not a democracy, no matter how bad the liberals want her to be, she is a Constitutional Republic and as such, the Supreme Law is the Constitution, the closest thing as being cast in stone there might ever be. Communists hate this. The Constitution is the “script” and America is the “stage” and Patriotic Americans are the “Players”. Anything else is just Un-Godly and of the Devil.

So what if we were hacked and by whom. The information was correct. The source does not matter the content does.

They are definitely trying to put us in a civil war ! Hillary couldn’t have shown people what she really was like on the campaign trail but I hope more of her fans wake up ! These electors have no right to the briefings they are not holding a government position of which allows this ! These buttercups need to be found and their faces shown to America !
Paul Benicky

Just goes to show you how dirty the Clinton’s are. When they’re being investigated it’s a witch hunt. When they want you investigated, it’s justice. Typical liberalism. They just don’t believe people don’t think like they do!!!! If I were President Trump I would hire a special non governmental investigator to investigate the Clinton Foundation. I’m sure they’ve probably burned or destroyed any evidence or paid off those tied to them by now though.
Tom Dewart

Quite a few say the information came within the US, Not from outside the US. I do not believe the Russians had anything to do with the election. I DO BELIEVE the Demarcates is pushing fake news that they started just to make Clinton President

NO WAY NO HOW! The elector college must end………it should be computerized so no one person can vote against the will of the people. Get rid of these “idiots” that believe they are the ones that will decide for the entire country. They are going against what their job description is………..they have a DEMOCRATIC attitude and it MUST STOP! They are no better than any LEGAL CITIZEN VOTER!
- David in MA
  
  The elector college is locked in for whom they can vote for in over 20 states due to state laws that they must vote for the candidate who got the popular vote and right now that is Trump.
  - rivahmitch

  - Carol
    
    Reread my post…..I said the electoral college should be computerized rather than people with their own personal opinions. This is the same reason why democrats are losing across the board……they do not represent the will of the people……they vote my “personal opinion” and than they do not live by it themselves.
  - Joseph Vanchieri
    
    It’s amazing that of all the politicians it is this election they decide the Electorate is evil. They don’t want to count every vote because it reminds them that most citizens would be left out of the election process.. They don’t come right out and say it but the Socialist Democrat party wants to trash the Constitution. What this is is a sickness. Most life want freedom. They want the government to run their lives for them. There will never be enough backing to end the Electorate. The amendment would die way before it was up for a vote. We the people would never stand for it.
- Jim Tuggle
  
  I disagree….we need to keep the electoral college but we need laws in each state requiring the electors to vote per the will of the people or face serious jail time.
  - Carol
    
    Reread my post. All I said was it should remain but be computerized so that no “personal opinion” is involved……only the :will of the people”.
    - Jim Tuggle
      
      Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough….my bad. The purpose of the Electoral College being done as it is done is because that is how it is spelled out in the Constitution and to change it would require a Constitutional Amendment….remember that the framers did not know [I hope] about computer systems; besides which then the votes would be more in danger of hacking or pfishing.
      - Carol
        
        I love your comment, it made me laugh……….I think the framers had great insight (computers in their heads) but I still do not like that the BS going on now is pushing electoral voters to change their vote, which makes it personal opinion. And to me, whomever the hackers were doesn’t matter because this was all WRITTEN TRUTH and not one democrat can deny what they wrote. They did it to themselves by lying and cheating and before taking it out on Trump where is the anger about what they did to Sanders? Sanders may have received the nomination rather than Hillary.

Brenda

What exactly do they seek in these intelligence reports? The FBI and CIA can not come to agreement on this issue. Not to mention that Russia is not the only player. What about China? And worst of all is the recent accusation from GA that DHS attempted to “hack” there system?
There was no interference with the voting machines, other than some machines not being calibrated and registering the wrong selections. The voting machines are not connected to the internet, so in order to “hack” them it would have been necessary for voting officials to “hack” them.
The released e-mails had little impact on Clinton voters, even when proven true, many called them les. Oh, they may have influenced some, but not all.
This tempest in the Tea Pot, smacks of attempts to steal the election and should it succeed then we will no longer be a Republic.
Bob Stewart

That is stupid. The only reason is the hope that some electors will change their vote and precipitate the new civil war. Electors don’t have a security clearance and briefings are not part of the governments responsibility. Podesta is a Clinton operative who is as slimy as she is.
SouthernPatriot

Pelosi, the Wicked Witch of the West, has a young witch daughter who is demented Democrat elector? Great.

Democrats again trying to undermine an election. Demented Democrats have a long history of undermining elections. Democrats attacked duly elected Republicans in Louisiana in the late 1800s and Democrat White League and Democrat KKK kept attacking elections and those elected. Now, instead of using fire brands, tar and feathers and guns, they use the legal system.

According to the FBI there is no convincing evidence to link any Russians or others to affecting U.S. elections.

Why isn’t anyone investigating how many “undocumented” aliens(illegal felon invaders) voted after being encouraged to do so by Obama when he also ensured them they would “not be harassed, nor arrested.”?
kotoc

If they DID overturn the election results, there would be such an outrage among Americans, who DID vote for Donald Trump, that there would likely be a revolution much like the Civil War.

To try to change the outcome is treason!

To change the electoral vote would bring great punishment on the electors.

Any information should be provided to the electors that they request. Would you prefet the electors vote blind? What if there were a murder or other heinous crime that was revealed, shouldnt the electors have a right to know. It is not dissimilar to juries who are allowed to ask questions of the judge so they can come up with a reasonable and fair decision.

Jack the Rooster

So some members of Electoral College are saying they are lacking in intelligence and are in desperate need for more. I’d think that would be considered self evident considering their actions and behavior. I’m doubtful they’ll increase their intelligence through the likes of an Obama appointee such as Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper. We do indeed need to take a hard look at our election process, beginning with a foolproof voter ID system, but we don’t need to be doing anything until Obama’s acronym agency heads have been given the steel toe boot to help them out the door.
David in MA

Not a proper request.
There are 20+ states which have state law which states these electors are to vote for the person who garnishes the most votes, this is a true representation of the will of the people (voters) and for an elector to vote their personal preference is a violation of law. There may be one or two states which leave the electors vote up to each elector but over half the states have changed this and the electors are locked in, years ago this was different but with the change to the electors responsibilities via state(s) law they are committed to vote the will of the people.
gah

The Electors are NOT entitled to classified info.

The “Electors need the classified information to make the best decision” is ridiculous. The PEOPLE have already made the decision…Donald J. Trump!

There is zero reason for these people to require an intelligence briefing. Their job is not to discern any interference in the election process; otherwise they would be up in arms regarding the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s false stories, etc., not where Wickileaks got their information. The electors have EXACTLY one job….to vote exactly as their voting citizens have told them to vote; nothing else. Any elector who is faithless should be the recipient of scorn and as much legal punishment as may be possible.
papa doug

Their desperation is indeed showing. The Russians if they were going to involve themselves in our political process (elections), and I don’t believe they were, they would most certainly have tried to help Hillary Clinton. SHE is the proven corrupt one, the proven liar who has often shown a willingness to be bought. Hillary is one who the Russians know they could gain a foothold in American politics and Government. With Trump they will have to deal with a Kennedy and Reagan type personality who will not back down or sell our country out.

  Dealing with anyone who does not sell out their core principles will cause panic and desperation in liberal progressives.
off2shop

The elector’s must not be able to read/or understand what they are reading if the must be briefed. If they want to know what happened, they need to ask George Soros about his used voting machines and why are they even allowed there in our USA. Then they could start with a list that reads, Clinton e-mail scam, Project Veritas, coverage of Bill Clinton’s rape charges, CNN giving HRC the debate questions, and the list just keeps on going!
The elector’s need to stick to their JOB and vote the way the electoral College is meant to work, not the way the Democrats want them to vote. No one should even know who these people are and what a kick in the teeth to find out the daughter of Nancy Pelosi is one of those chosen. I think that should disqualify the whole lot of them.
AmericanBelle1

Partisan attack of the highest order. Totally BS….these people do not have the clearance for a security briefing. Talk about sore losers! They will do anything to thwart this election. They keep this crap up and the ensuring civil war won’t be snowflakes crawling into safe spaces or anarchists throwing hissy fits. Could wind up with a bigger body count than the civil war (the last time these idiots tried to fight government!).
Clarice

Hacking seems to have become a questionable but accepted skill being applied quite frequently. The level of concern seems to be who the “hackee” is versus the “hackor”. Also the principle of “your friend is my friend” and “your enemy is my enemy” may apply. A future with Hillary Clinton at the helm was frightening, for our own citizens as well as nations throughout the world with concerns over her traditional “pay to play” demands, and her militarized threat to other countries. With that as her version of “diplomacy”, other countries including Russia and the US were concerned over her potential presidency. The findings of HER INCRIMINATING EMAILS is far more significant worldwide than WHO found them or the MANNER in which accomplished. Perhaps destiny helped achieve an ETHICAL PRESIDENT with honorable leadership skills.

Charlie

The election was won by POTUS elect Trump . The electoral votes were counted , the popular vote was contested Trump gained votes and the only corruption found was done by the democrats . Now all that has to happen is the actual filing into the records the electoral vote . Therefore there is absolutely no sound reason for any electoral voter to have any special security clearance or any flipping of any electoral vote already cast . We the People have sent the message that We are tired of political corruption of the democrats / liberals / progressives / socialist . It’s way past time for honorable principled political servants that stay within the parameters set forth by our Constitution including our Bill of Natural (God given not government given ) Rights .

Security Briefing News Flash….The Democrats have been taken over years ago by Socialists, NWO Communists, conclusion, why do they have a problem with Russia? why not China, who has done more to disrupt America Economy by money wars. Answer: Power and Money. Besides Putin detests the ground Hillary walks on. Even if Russia provided help to the Republicans (chances are they did not) the hypocrisy of the Democratic SNWOC and their liberal cronies do the same and have done so for years. Ever heard of George Soros, O yea ( a Socialist and NWO elite, who hates America) It is Strange how the Democrats accuse others of “wrong doing,” but yet do the same thing, if not morally worse. If the Democrats wish to be an example of right, perhaps it’s time to bring GOD back to where you kicked Him out from…your thinking.

Anyone closely associated with Nancy Pelosi on the Electoral College should raise all kinds of alarms! Everyone on the left is concerned about Donald Trump’s rise to political power and are having kittens over his kids and what roles they may play in the future, but no one on that side seems to get concerned when Chelsea Clinton or Christine Pelosi are involved in national affairs! Let’s face it! The Democrats are not ever going to accept the results of this election, nor will they play fair! They will do everything in their power to subvert this election and prevent Trump from taking over! But then, on an even greater level it is a war between “good” and “evil” and if we believe Bible prophecy, this country and the world will only get worse! There is still more than a month before the inauguration, and Obama still has the reins! An Islamic uprising leading to martial law could still occur. But, remember this: The Lord came the first time at Christmas; He could come again at any moment to take His people out [rapture] before He brings judgment!
Dexter L. Wilson

Again, they really probably know who did the hacking and because it is so embarrassing to them they do not want us to know. Anybody who has seen the movie “Snowden” would realize the NSA would know. The truth is it is someone like Seth Rich who hacked the DNC and we can’t talk to him because he was murdered. This whole thing is just like the old Radio Broadcast “War of the Worlds” where people were actually believing that we were invaded by the Martians!

Adam Keller

The United States Constitution says:”The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.”

Where does it say that electors have to vote for the candidate who got the majority in their state? There is nothing about that in the Constitution. The Constitution originally meant for voters to vote for Electors and to give these Electors a complete discretion whom do they want as President and Vice-President. Complete discretion.The Constitution does not place any limitation on Electors’ right to bestow the Presidency on whoever they think would best do the job.

True, there developed later a practice that Electors vote according to the vote in their State – but this practice is nowhere set down in the Constitution. I don’t say that the Electors ARE going to act differently on December 19. But have no doubt about it – whoever the Electors elect as President will be the completely legal and Constitutionally valid President of the United States.

What? You don’t like the Electors having so much power? Well, go ahead, amend the Constitution. Abolish the Electoral College. Perfectly fine with me. A good idea, actually. But as long as the Electors are here, don’t complain if they choose to exercise the power which the Constitution gives them.

Uh I believe you have to go through an EXTENSIVE background check before getting classified information, Not going to happen if it does some one should go to jail.

Eliminate the electors, If a presidential candidate wins a state they automatically get the amount of votes designated now for a state. This would eliminate the unnecessary BS going on now and save money.

This is not their job. They already voted for Trump. He is president. If they change their votes they are committing fraud and should be held accountable. Period. This is voter fraud and mass corruption by the electoral group. We the people have chosen president trump. It’s over. They have no proof. And there is more proof of Obamas and Hillary’s ties to Russia and many other foreign nations against the patriot act. Hello.

If these people are trustworthy enough to essentially choose the president of this country, aren’t they trustworthy enough to be given this data?
- draidt
  
  NO ! An elector’s only qualification is who do you know in state politics to run as an elector and BTW they don’t pick the president the VOTERS do.
  - Alan404
    
    It would appear that your last is not quite correct. While Clinton achieved a majority of the popular vote, she lost in The Electoral College vote, which I believe has happened previously. If you are not happy with this, it so appears, the results and or the EC itself, the latter can be removed via legislation I believe.

People in HEl* want ice water too. You have no need to know nor the clearance for a classified briefing. Contrary to your thinking your job description does not require it. According to the Government Security Regulations it Should not happen!
Susan Short

If any of them are planning to vote against the results of their respective states, they really need an intelligence briefing! They need some intelligence, period!
JCluvsTrump

Members of the electoral college are not authorized an intel briefing. Democrats better be careful here. They are playing with fire.
Lorraine E

barak Hussein obama has an astronomical number of lies he has told over the past eight years. hillary Benghazi clinton is notorious for always lying. And the electoral democrats want obama’s National director of intelligence to prepare a report for them as to whether or not the Russians are responsible for Donald Trump winning the election. Huh! Of course he is going to report exactly what they order him to put in his report!
Plus BHO and crooked hillary have been lusting to create a war with Russia for years so of course, undoubtedly, and without any question James Clapper will follow their orders and report that Putin and billions of Russians voted for Donald Trump and that they hacked into the voting machines and changed all of the votes from crooked hillary to Donald Trump. Remember also that James Clapper doesn’t want his name added to the “Clinton Death Toll Documentary” which google mysteriously deleted from the net.
As I recall it was the democrats who cheated in every conceivable way possible during the election and now they are going to accuse Donald Trump of what they themselves did. Even though recounts indicate that actually there were more votes for Donald Trump than what was reported which is proof of cheating by the democrats.
pineapple

If the electoral college members are not intelligent, how can they understand an intelligence briefing?
Gary Ritzman

The 5 boroughs of NYC had 2,167,982 popular votes for Hillary. Giving NY state to Hillary. California had 7 counties with 2,438,986 popular votes for Hillary. Giving California to Hillary. The Electoral College worked exactly as our Founding Fathers planned. To protect American citizen voters from the clout of a few centers of political influence.
BIGOTIST

These fckn idiots can’t be too brite if they an intelligence course to
inform them in how to vote~
- MAHB001
  
  They are EXACTLY the type of people the left controls. They certainly do not fit the definition of what an electorate should be.
Cookie Vranish

These 10 people have no business or security clearances to view secret information. Clapper must tell them no or face charges. Treason for revealing state secrets to unauthorized people.
e111w

A federal judge rules to shut off recounts. Where is a ruling to shut down this farce?
Phyllis Schultz

The Democrats worked with the Russians during the election for Ronald Reagan trying to discredit him and they worked with the Russians to discredit Netanyuh,so once again they are showing what hypocrites they are, and just how corrupt they have become. The Cia is saying Russia did attempt to help Trump and the FBI is not confirming their accusations.
IMSweetOlBob

I have seen bills of many denominations, and on the reverse side, at the end borders, there has been printed, “Hillary to Jail” !
I agree with that sentiment.
Junius Graham

Why would some of the Electorate ask for intelligent briefings, when they don’t have any intelligence? They are there to vote the people’s will.
Mark Brickey

Classified information?!? Since when do electors have the clearances for classified information? Sure, I want them to do their jobs to the best of their abilities (well, progressives… we’ll just hope they know how to get out of their safe spaces and can follow instructions…) But, their job isn’t difficult as they’re told exactly what they’re supposed to do by each State and the Constitution
IMSweetOlBob

Intelligence briefings are nowhere in their circle of responsibility. They are NOT to make decisions of any kind. They are just supposed to do their jobs and shut the hell up.
Sweping the sidewalk in front of the market does NOT give them the power to decide what will be sold.
Their duty is spelled out clearly. Do it and (once again)
SHUT THE HELL UP !
Bob Stewart

Democrats are unbelievable and will do anything to challenge the integrity of the election. Democrats knew they had been hacked and did nothing. Now all they want to do is to try and delegitimize Trump. Well it won’t work. Trump will be president and the communists (democrats) will whine for at least 4 years. Obama and his ilk just can’t understand the joy people feel that Obama is leaving the white house.
VirgoVince

IF they aren’t smart enough to do their jobs and STFU, they aren’t smart enough for ANY Intel!
Kent2012

I, for one, am pleased that these clowns have asked for an “intelligence report”..it may point out where their intelligence if hiding. That is if there is any remaining after their last circle jerky…
SPAlumni

Suprun betraying what he was elected to do disqualifies him for a security clearance. Little Pelosi et al are citizens like us and are not entitled to security intelligence that they would blab to others. PERIOD.

NO ONE WANTED NIXON GONE MORE THAN THE COMMUNIST PARTY. DEEP THROAT WAS THE NUMBER 2 MAN AT THE FBI. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT SECURITY? THE FBI IS NOW THE FIB. THE CIA IS NOW THE CYA AND THE MEDIA NEVER TELLS THE TRUTH TO THE BRAINWASHED.

TRUST NO POLLS BUT MY TWO POLLS. STASHU AND WANDA. THEY SAY TRUMP ALL THE WAY. GET THE TRUTH AT TRUMP’S TWITTER.

SCHOOL KIDS ARE USING A SNOWFLAKE EXCUSE FOR NOT COMPLETING ASSIGNMENTS.
THE EXCUSE THAT GETS ACCEPTED BY LIBERAL TEACHERS IS. VLADIMIR PUTIN ATE MY HOMEWORK.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY A USED LABEL MACHINE FROM THE OUTGOING COMMUNISTS. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THEY LABEL ALL THEIR OPPONENTS AS NAZIS AND FACISTS. THEY NEVER LABEL THEM WHAT THEY ARE. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD THEM LABEL ANYONE A COMMUNIST?

Abu Tom says VIVA EL TRUMPO THIS GUY IS GREAT ALREADY. A THOUSAND POINTS OF LIGHT. A THOUSAND POINTS IN THE STOCKMARKET. ALL PENSIONS HAVE EXXON MOBIL. HE WINS OVER HIS ENEMIES. THIS SUNDAY HE IS TAKING HILARY OUT FOR AN ICE CREAM CONE.

GLAD WE DON’T HAVE KAR SICK AS PRESIDENT. HE WAS AFRAID TO HELP KIDS WITH A HEART BEAT. HE HAS NO LIBERTY BELLS. TALKS TOUGH ACTS HUMBLE BUT WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH HE GOES HIDING. THE REASON HE WOULD NOT BACK TRUMP WAS HE DID NOT GET THE FREE TOASTER. TRUMP WON OHIO WITHOUT HIM. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? DID YOU HEAR THE AUDIENCE BOOS LAST NIGHT WHEN TRUMP SAID NICE THINGS ABOUT PAUL RINO? TRUMP ABSORBED THAT FEEDBACK FOR LATER. RIGHT NOW HE IS HIRING BUT THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN HE FIRES HIS MISTAKES. TAKE HEART AMERICA. TWO SAVIOURS ARE COMING. THE SON OF GOD AND EL TRUMPO THE JOB ZORRO. SOON EVEN THE BABY’S DIAPERS WILL SAY AGAIN MADE IN USA.

OBAMA IS A COMMUNITY DIS ORGANIZER. IN ONE WEEK TRUMP WILL DO MORE FOR THE GHETTO KIDS THAN THE ISLAMO COMMO DID FOR 8 YEARS. YOU CAN’T RESTORE THE INNER CITIES UNTIL YOU DO AWAY WITH DRUGS. DRUG DEALERS SELL GUNS AND OBAMA SAYS THEY ARE HARMLESS. THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN FIGHT DRUGS IN THE GHETTO ARE THE GOSPEL PEOPLE. WORK WITH THE GOSPEL PEOPLE AND YOU HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE. MERRY CHRIST MASS EVERYBODY.

Crooked Hillary Clinton has some nerve saying that Trump cheated and we all know that President Elect Trump did not cheat at all and Russia did not interfere with the elections. Because Hillary Clinton and Obama did cheat at the voting Polls by using Millions of Dead People votes.
usmcltc

This ladies last name says it all – Pelosi. What else do you need to know to determine that this is just another liberal prank?
Ben “Chip” Waple

These is way past desperation….if anyone had a part in rigging a election, it would be crooked, loser Hillary.
WhiteFalcon

If Hillary Clinton had not done the crimes, it wouldn’t have been worth anyone’s time to hack her E-mails, whether it was the Russians or anyone else. The fault ultimately lies with Hillary Clinton, and she should spend the rest of her life in prison because of them.
Joyce White

This is not about Trump and the POSSIBLE Russian hacking. This is about George Soros losing control of the W.H. (which he has had for several years) George and his friends do not like to have someone thwart their plans. Especially a bombastic non-politician. We of the “silent majority” don’t like some old Nazi sympathizer telling us what to do. It is the old ‘shell game’ get folks watching one thing while they steal the pea, so no matter which one we choose, we lose
Steve Harr

These people are like Hillarys staff, they do not have security clearances… another case for prosecution of Hillary.
ironbiker

you lost ASSHOLES!! this isn’t fake news like the Russian BS,we put up with Ojerkoff for 8 years,deal with it snowflakes.
Joseph Vanchieri

They deserve temporary security clearance? They have no reason at all to have such a thing done. The so called investigation is nothing but speculation. Not even circumstantial evidence. This game is not a game . It is an attack on the will of the people. A direct attack! If our Congress had any courage whatsoever they would put a stop to it. Unfortunately there are traitors in the Republican party. I could name them but it would take up more energy than it is worth. They talk about ” fake news ” ( a phrase they made up) well this is the biggest fake news out there. Call, text , email or fax get hold of you Senators and Congressmen and tell them that enough is enough. Put a stop to this agent to the peoples choice.
cathylovesyou

We know Clapper sold out and covered up for Obama as they all must do to continue being Communist. In interviews you can see Clapper was always uncomfortable lying. Obama ran everything without knowledge or experience, he went only on his plan of turning America Communist. Trump election has set the Communist in America back at least 4 years but many of Obama’s regulation will be abolished and/or turned over. We’ll get some honest Judges in the Supreme court.
Walter Flatt

WHY DIDN’T THE TELL YOU WHO THIS PERON IS, SHE IS FROM CALIFORNIA AND NANCY PEE-LOOSEY DAUGHTER. THEY ARE DOING EVEYTHING THEY CAN TO KEEP TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE. IF I WAS THEM, I WOULD BE AFRAID OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HE WAS THROWN OUT. FOLKS THIS COUNTRY WOULD NOT STAND FOR IT AND A POSSIBLE CIVIL WAR COULD HAPPEN.
jimmyk520000

The dumb asses over at the CIA can’t handle Congress. These screwed up elecoral college hound dogs think they are entitled.
barnjoer

The Demarats are just trying to get the focus off of Hillary & Bill’s corruption. That why they are so wanting to focus on Russia & the election. Just A big smoke screen. What about the money laundering of the Clinton Foundation? Does it not even exist any longer, oh yea it is more important whether or not the Russians leaked the criminal actions of the democratic party & the Clintons. Guess they are above the law!!
Boyd Herrst

The electors don’t have the need to know nor the security clearances…
So fuhgeddabiudit !
NAVY

Watch out for O’BAMA and the Shadow Government he’s trying to set up, only to try and Thwart Trump, The Presidency, and the Will of the People. Could this be considered Treason on his part ?
RsGoat

The one thing these people need to keep in mind is if the “interference” amounts to no more then reporting could have done they must also weigh in on the fact that Trump did go to a lot of the States he won and talked to thousands of people even in the neighborhoods he was not welcomed in, suffering the slings and arrows from those who thought little of him. He either won votes from or kept votes from Hillary in the minority populations and when the election was over he went to work keeping jobs in this country plus a “Thank You” Tour!! He is already a hard working president.
