    Hillary Clinton questions 'legitimacy' of Trump's victory in 2016 election

    One year after losing the presidential race, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is still questioning the “legitimacy” of President Trump’s victory, accusing Republicans of voter suppression tactics in swing states and Russians of influencing votes through a “disinformation campaign.”

    “I think that there are lots of questions about its legitimacy,” Clinton said of the election during a video interview posted online Friday by the liberal Mother Jones website.

    Clinton lamented how “we don’t have a method for contesting” the election in the United States and called for an independent commission to “get to the bottom of what happened.”

    She's certainly been on TV way too much. After you lose a presidential election, you just have to shut the fuck up for a while - cf. Kerry, McCain, and Romney.

    It's like a year since the election and she's barely been visible. There was literally a meme about her hiding in the woods!

    Republicans are mad at the moment because she said something indicating she thinks the election might not have entirely on the up and up recently. What with the Russian hacking and GOP voter suppression of it all.

    Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

    On the contrary, she's had multiple televised interviews and appeared on various shows. Certainly far more than the last three losers.

    Well yeah, because she is still popular and influential and actually won the election. She can do as she damn pleases.

    Senator from Rhode Island helps put things in perspective.
    The news has dribbled out slowly, but the totals are striking: “the Trump campaign interacted with Russians at least thirty-one times throughout the campaign” and there were “at least 19 known meetings."
    We've been seeing the details roll out over such a long period of time that it's easy to forget how much of a grove has formed from all the trees. This isn't one or two incidental things that happened, there was a lot going on.

    31 times is a lot for Sessions to be unable to recall

    Unless they colluded during 31 Sessions, and after each one they realised the magnitude of these crimes and killed and regrew a new clone of him before he had a chance to sleep and upload his memories to the Prime Consciousness. I mean at the time of the election he was Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, the first of which lived during the Civil War era, so this wasn't necessarily an exclusively Trump thing. No reason to believe that we're not up to LIX now.

    Maybe there is another reason he's unconsciously against stem cell research and human cloning.

    George Papadopoulos won't go away

    Trump’s “Coffee Boy” Keeps Sabotaging His Russia Story

    Papadopoulos, according to Donald Trump, was a low-level volunteer—a “coffee boy,” according to another former campaign official. But Papadopoulos saw his role as much more significant—and evidence of his travels and communications on behalf of the campaign suggests that it was.
    Regardless, however, Papadopoulos’s boasts appear to have opened doors for him. Politico reports that Papadopoulos traveled at least twice to Greece and, as a representative of the Trump campaign, met with senior government officials, including President Prokopis Pavlopoulos while he was there. He is also reported to have met, at various points, with British Under-Secretary of State for Defence People and Veterans Tobias Ellwood, as well as Cypriot and Israeli officials, in addition to his now well-publicized contacts with Russian intermediaries.

    Just a low level campaign volunteer of no consequence...that was sent all over the world to meet with foreign government officials.

    Maybe, but there's a few more likely meanings: people in it, like Sessions, are, or because it's a large and wide ranging request this may be to get the status of any prior investigation before Trump took office and what was done with it since. If it magically stopped progressing it would be the smoking gun that Trump and Sessions killed the investigation.

    A Russian Journalist Explains How the Kremlin Instructed Him to Cover the 2016 Election

    During the 2016 election, the directions from the Kremlin were less subtle than usual. “Me and my colleagues, we were given a clear instruction: to show Donald Trump in a positive way, and his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in a negative way,” he said in his speech. In a later interview, he explained to me how the instructions were relayed. “Sometimes it was a phone call. Sometimes it was a conversation,” he told me. “If Donald Trump has a successful press conference, we broadcast it for sure. And if something goes wrong with Clinton, we underline it.”
    “There was even a slogan among Russian political élite,” he said. “ ‘Trump is our president.’ And, when he won the elections, on 9th November, 2016, Russian Parliament or State Duma even applauded him and arranged a champagne party celebrating the victory of Donald Trump.” That night, Skorobutov and his colleagues played clips of the party on the news.
