This is why we have to vote out all the never Trumpers and Rinos
GOP Cut Backroom Deal with Obama Administration During 2016 Election
Trump stating things such as election rigging concerns and joking about accepting the results only if he won. Clinton had spoken about the importance of a “peaceful transfer of power’ and stated that not accepting the results was “a direct threat to our democracy.”
Perhaps with this in mind, according to NYMag Intelligencer, the Obama Administration had a plan to circumvent Trump objections — and it involved prominent members of the Republican party.
The publication interviewed both Ben Rhodes, Obama’s senior aide and speechwriter, and Jen Psaki, Obama’s communications director. They revealed a plan formulated by Obama Administration senior staff members.
The offensive “called for congressional Republicans, former presidents, and former Cabinet-level officials including Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, to try and forestall a political crisis by validating the election result.” But that was only one aspect of it, and validating elections is itself a problem.
“In the event that Trump tried to dispute a Clinton victory, they would affirm the result as well as the conclusions reached by the U.S. intelligence community that Russian interference in the election sought to favor Trump, and not Clinton.”
