Poor Hillary.
As of yesterday, Jill Stein, who keeps disproving the premise that she couldn’t look any more ridiculous, has withdrawn her lawsuit demanding that Pennsylvania ignore state law and recount the votes for President.
The result? Even if recounts in Michigan (not started yet) and Wisconsin (in progress: so far Trump has gained votes, not lost any) turn the states to Clinton, Trump wins anyway.
Why is this a betrayal of Hillary Clinton? Because Jill Stein got less than 1% of the vote in Pennsylvania, so her ridiculously quixotic, wasteful recount effort, which was emphatically supported by the Clinton campaign, could only have benefited Ms. Clinton.
I keep asking this question, and I’m going to ask it again now: if Donald Trump lost the election, and he said nothing while
-his supporters went to the streets disrupting people’s lives while engaging in violence and vandalism,
-his supporters intimidated/threatened electors to change the votes they are committed to, and
-his supporters jumped in on the idea of recounting states he lost by small margins, without any evidence of impropriety that would change the result…
….what do you think media would be saying about him?
Do you think they would be absolving him of any responsibility, as media are clearly absolving Ms. Clinton?
And, yes, these are the same “journalists” who bristle with indignation when they are accused of bias.
==================
UPDATE: I may have jumped the gun here.
Jill Stein, apparently, is now trying to sue for a Pennsylvania recount in federal court.
I wish her every bit as much success as she has had in the state.
This is LAWfare.
Using any remotely applicable law or regulation (no matter how ridiculous the connection) to delay, obstruct, confuse.
Sarah Palin resigned half way through her Alaska Governorship because of the incredible avalanche of frivolous lawsuits – each requiring depositions, interrogatories, motions, appearances in court, etc. None of the lawsuits prevailed against her, but there were not enough hours in the week to defend against them and also govern the State of Alaska.
Jillie and Hillie are pursuing the same game plan. Financed with Georgie Soros’ money.
