Who Are the Real Insurrectionaries? Part Two
Hillary Clinton was joined in her later efforts to deny the legitimacy of the 2016 election by a large chorus of elected House members, and ex-president Jimmy Carter.
Carter in 2019 echoed her charges: āAnd there's no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election. And I think the interference although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show that Trump didn't win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.ā
Here we have an ex-president election denialist accusing the then-president of being a veritable traitor as well as an election rigger. We do not recall any outrage at the time.
During the 2016 electoral college process, third-party Green candidate Jill Stein, de facto acting as a DNC surrogate, claimed the 2016 ballot count was illegitimate. She thus sued in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin claiming the voting machines were rigged. (To my knowledge the companies involved like ExpressVote XL did not sue Stein, Dominion-Voting-Systems-style for $1 billion).
Steinās denialism arose mostly in reaction to the Clinton campaign that had loudly claimed āexpertsā found that Clinton tallies in those states did not meet her campaignās pre-election expectations.
At the same time, Democrats organized a media/publicity campaignā headed by about a dozen Hollywood āstarsā appearing in nightly TV commercials āseeking to flip electors into āfaithlessā electors.
In other words, they urged electors to violate their oaths, and not to reflect the uncontested majority votes of their states. Instead, they were begged to vote for Hillary Clinton, who had lost their respective statesā popular vote.
All this activism arose despite a July 2020 Supreme Court ruling reaffirming the constitutionality of prior state laws that had declared faithless electors illegal.
In other words, the Left organized a well-funded effort to overturn the 2016 election by creating faithless electors. They sought to deny the peopleās majority votes in their states, and they continued despite a recent prior Supreme Court ruling that this ploy was patently illegal.
Just four months after the Inauguration, Clinton boasted that she was part of the āResistanceā, a direct echo to the armed French armed effort āLa RĆ©sistance
āagainst the Nazi occupation. I suppose Hillary thought she was one of the heroic Democratic maquis and Trump of course Adolf Hitler.
Leftwing fact-checkers bristle when such comparisons are made between the 2016 and 2020 election denialism.
But the real difference between the two electionsā denialism was that the organized āresistanceā to an āillegitimateā president who had āriggedā and āstolenā the 2016 vote continued throughout the Trump administration, often in illegal fashion.

Who Are the Real Insurrectionaries? Part One
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows just ordered Trumpās name removed from the primary ballot in May. She claimed he is guilty in her view of āinsurrectionāāa crime Trump has never been charged with, much less convicted of.
Her evidence, mostly gleaned from popular news accounts and video reports, would not stand up in a court of law.
Bellows has no law degree. She was appointed by a majority vote of the Democratic-controlled Maine legislature, not through a popular ballot. Her legal expertise seems to be derived from years of political activism with the ACLU.
We can see where the ultimate trajectory of this usurpation is goingāonce a single official decides to remove the leading primary and general election candidate of the opposition from the ballot by fiat. Tit-for-tat will likely follow and would unwind the republic.
Take Bellowsā action and then apply it to any future candidacy of Hillary Clinton. And by these new rules she surely would fail to qualify to have her name on a state ballot.
Remember, in 2016 Hillary Clinton illegally hired a foreign national (by law forbidden to work in presidential campaigns), Christopher Steele, to create a ādossierā of smears and fake-news accounts, aimed at destroying her presidential opponent Donald Trump by extra-legal means.
Clinton hid her illicit payments to Steele behind the paywalls of the DNC, the Perkins-Coie law firm, and Fusion GPS.
Her leftwing associates and partisans in the waning Obama administration, the DOJ, State Department, FBI, and CIA worked hard to brand the slurs as credible, as they variously passed them off and leaked to the media on the eve of the election.
They and Democrats in congress later engineered the appointment of a special counsel, whose investigations consumed two years of the Trump administrationās term, before finding no ācollusionā.
Even three years after the election in 2019 and the special counselās findings, Clinton could still persist that Trump was an āillegitimateā president: āHe knows heās an illegitimate presidentā.
She also declared that year that the 2016 election had been āstolenā: āI think itās also critical to understand that, as Iāve been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from youāāde facto asserting the balloting was fraudulent.
She was prepping the battlefield for 2020. So Clinton continued her denialism right up to the eve of the 2020 election, further claiming the 2016 election was rigged, āThere was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level.ā
