Clinton Campaign Joins Jill Stein Recount Effort; Team Trump Decries ‘Sore Losers’

Because the Russians are hacking everything in sight, the Hillary Clinton campaign has decided to join the grass roots efforts of Jill Stein to overthrow the elections and to hopefully get to the bottom of all of this craziness — which perhaps may pave the way to the first female President of the United States of America.

Her campaign counsel, Marc Elias, said the Clinton campaign ‘will participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.’ How benevolent of them, to take time out from their busy schedules to ensure that Donald Trump is getting a fair deal.

Kellyanne Conway wasn’t at all appreciative of this Clinton generosity, saying “what a pack of sore losers. After asking Mr. Trump and his team a million times on the trail, ‘Will HE accept the election results?’ it turns out Team Hillary and their new BFF Jill Stein can’t accept reality.”

Indeud.

The unappreciative Conway furthered her assault:

Rather than adhere to the tradition of graciously conceding and wishing the winner well, they’ve opted to waste millions of dollars and dismiss the democratic process. The people have spoken. Time to listen up. #YesYourPresident.”

Elias insisted that they hadn’t found “any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology.” Even still, one can never be too careful with the diabolical Putin still out there, lurking in the shadows, hacking about the internets.

Even though Elias thinks this is all a grand waste of time and money, they’re gonna participate anyway, in order to ensure fairness, justice and the American way.

“We do so fully aware that the number of votes separating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the closest of these states — Michigan — well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount,“ Elias said. “But regardless of the potential to change the outcome in any of the states, we feel it is important, on principle, to ensure our campaign is legally represented in any court proceedings and represented on the ground in order to monitor the recount process itself.”

As the interview with Bloomberg wasted on, Elias became emboldened, decrying his duty to the 64 million people who voted for Hillary.

“We believe we have an obligation to the more than 64 million Americans who cast ballots for Hillary Clinton to participate in ongoing proceedings to ensure that an accurate vote count will be reported.”

And then he showed his cards, the fucking Russians.

The 2016 election cycle “was unique in the degree of foreign interference witnessed throughout the campaign,” Elias said, noting that the U.S. government had concluded Russian state actors behind hacks of the Democrat National Committee and the personal e-mails of some Clinton campaign officials.

Data scientists have been on the job, making sure the vote was legit. Bear in mind, these same data scientists, whatever the fuck that term means, were all clown raped on election night — made to look like data idiots — completely and utterly disgraced by the election results.

“We have quietly taken a number of steps in the last two weeks to rule in or out any possibility of outside interference in the vote tally in these critical battleground states,” he said, including having data scientists and lawyers comb over the results, and monitored and staffed post-election canvasses.

Trump called the recount efforts by Stein a scam.

This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded, and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what (Green Party leader) Jill Stein is doing,” Trump said in a statement about the recount.

“This recount is just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasn’t even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount.”

It would be ironic if this meddling by the Clinton’s convinced Trump that Hillary was irredeemable and a motivator to prosecute a case against her for the emails and the Clinton Foundation pay to play schemes.

    Let me get this straight: you don’t think Russia hacked or manipulated anything, or you don’t care, or what.

    Castro is dead,

    Thinking DNC likely influenced the tiny party into this one.
