HILLARY HAS SECRET REASON FOR
BACKING VOTE RECOUNT 'Whole agenda is to discredit Donald
Trump and his duly legal election', by Greg Corombos, 12/7/16, WND
Legal challenges and hand-counting
of ballots are daily occurrences in Michigan, and the head of an anti-Hillary
Clinton political action committee says the former Democratic Party nominee is
deeply involved in an effort to give the perception
Donald Trump’s victory is illegitimate while
Green Party candidate Jill Stein is just in it for herself.
The courts have been back and forth
on the issue. After Stein pressed the issue in court, federal judge Mark
Goldsmith ordered the recount to begin on Monday, despite Michigan Attorney
General Bill Schuette trying to stop the process. The state is arguing that
since Stein has no chance of winning, she has no standing to make the request.
On Tuesday, the Michigan Court of
Appeals agreed with Schuette and ordered the recount to be stopped. However, a
three-judge panel of the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the
recount ought to continue. The various parties were arguing the case again
before Goldsmith on Wednesday morning.
After all 83 Michigan counties
certified their vote totals last month, the Michigan Board of Canvassers
declared the winner of the state’s 16 electoral votes by a 10,704 vote margin.
Stein successfully triggered a recount in neighboring Wisconsin, where Trump
leads by roughly 22,000 votes, and Pennsylvania, where the margin is more than
twice the spread in Wisconsin.
The Committee to Defend
the President is also wading into the legal
waters. Formerly known as the Stop Hillary PAC, the group says the recount
drama is nothing more than an expensive circus.
“I think it is a waste of taxpayers’
money, first and foremost. The taxpayers in these three states are going to
have to pick up the tab for these recounts,” Committee to Defend the President
Chairman Ted Harvey told WND and Radio America.
“The recounts will achieve nothing,”
he said. “Jill Stein received 1 percent of the vote in these states. There
is no way that she can get the votes necessary to overcome Trump’s victory, and
I don’t believe she has any standing in these states to file lawsuits to do a
recount because of that.”He said Stein’s true motives are
fairly obvious. “She is simply doing this to raise
money for her organization, to raise her profile as an individual and to raise
the profile of the Green Party,” Harvey said.
The Clinton
campaign is officially joining Stein in
its stated cause of ensuring the vote was not subject to hacking, error or
fraud. However, the Clinton team has publicly stated it doesn’t expect any
changes in the results.
Harvey doesn’t believe Clinton is
just a silent bystander in all of this. He sees the former secretary of state
as a raging hypocrite. “After the (final) debate, she stood up in speech after
speech after speech and said Donald Trump is attacking democracy by questioning
the election. That was easy for her to say when she thought she was going to
win. Now that she is losing, her fingerprints are all over this recount,” said
Harvey, who also has scathing reviews for how the media is covering it.
Listen
to the WND/Radio America interview with Ted Harvey: “I think it’s typical
of the agenda of the left-wing media, which is all of the CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS,
ABC in this country. They are run by leftists and they have an agenda,” Harvey
said.
He said the media roundly mocked
Trump for suggesting voting irregularities could be a factor in the election,
but they are only too eager to treat Stein and Clinton’s challenge as serious
news.
On the contrary, he said there are
plenty of examples of truly concerning issues across the country, including in
his home state of Colorado. Here in Colorado, they
passed legislation to allow for same-day voter registration without proof of
voter ID,” Harvey said. “When it was brought up that this was only going to
lead to massive voter fraud, they laughed at it and they pushed it through. Now
here we are with an election that they lose and they’re coming before the
American people and the press and they’re claiming voter fraud. It’s just
hypocrisy left and right.”
Harvey said the media have been
toeing the liberal narrative since the moment Trump won the election. “You saw
what happened the day after the election when you had ‘spontaneous’ rallies
around the country protesting Donald Trump’s election. That didn’t just happen
overnight. That was organized by (George) Soros and the Clinton campaign to
rally young people around the country to protest,” he said. “The media gobbled that
up and ran with that hour after hour after hour.”
He said the media then jumped to new
stories when the protesting became stale, namely an obsession with Hillary
Clinton winning the popular vote and then treating the recounts as legitimate.
Harvey believes all these different
tactics have the same long-term goal. “Their whole agenda is to discredit
Donald Trump and discredit his duly legal election,” Harvey said. “I think they
will continue to do this for the next four years to say that everything that he
is going to do as president is not legitimate.”
