If you don't know then don't offer your damn opinion.

The request represents the latest effort by Democratic electors to look to the Electoral College as a possible bulwark against a Trump presidency.

Excerpts:

In its first show of public support for efforts questioning the legitimacy of Donald Trump's victory, Hillary Clinton’s campaign said it is supporting a request by members of the Electoral College for an intelligence briefing on foreign intervention in the presidential election.

“The bipartisan electors' letter raises very grave issues involving our national security,” Podesta said in a statement Monday. “Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed.”

“Each day that month, our campaign decried the interference of Russia in our campaign and its evident goal of hurting our campaign to aid Donald Trump,” he said. “Despite our protestations, this matter did not receive the attention it deserved by the media in the campaign. We now know that the CIA has determined Russia's interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American.” – Politico

It is distressing. A foreign nation brazenly interfered in our presidential election. Then, adding insult to injury, Hillary received at least 2.5 million more votes than Trump. And yet she still lost the Presidency because she lost the EC count. That' IS a mighty hard pill to swallow. I do understand her frustration.

But unless the CIA can provide solid evidence that our election truly was "rigged"…meaning Russia tampered with our vote counts in favor of Trump…..then an election "do-over" ain't gonna happen.

From CNN:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell broke with President-elect Donald Trump over Russia on Monday, saying he supports a congressional investigation into findings that Russian hackers attempted to influence the election.

McConnell praised the American intelligence community, saying he has "the highest confidence in the intelligence community, and especially the Central Intelligence Agency" — which Trump had recently lambasted over its findings.
McConnell's comments were an implicit rebuke of Trump, who has questioned whether Russia actually interfered with the election, including with hacks of Democratic operatives.
A bipartisan group of senators — McCain, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, and Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island — had on Sunday called for an investigation into the intelligence community's finding that Russia attempted to influence the election.

The President-elect on Sunday morning blasted the intelligence community anew, calling its assessment that Russia interfered in the election "ridiculous."
"I think it's just another excuse. I don't believe it," Trump said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday."
McConnell was also much more skeptical of Russia than Trump.
"Let me just speak for myself: The Russians are not our friends," McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, told reporters at a Monday morning news conference.
"I think we ought to approach all of these issues on the assumption the Russians do not wish us well," he said.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, took the same position as McConnell.
"Any foreign intervention in our elections is entirely unacceptable," Ryan said in a statement. "And any intervention by Russia is especially problematic because, under President Putin, Russia has been an aggressor that consistently undermines American interests."
Two days earlier Trump sided with Russia over the CIA and attacked the US intelligence assessment of Russia's role.
"These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction," Trump's transition team said in a terse, unsigned statement targeting the CIA on Friday.

Though he supported calls for an investigation into Russian hacking, McConnell poured cold water on the idea — which McCain had proposed — of a select committee to investigate Russian hacking.
Ryan, too, said the House Intelligence Committee, which has investigated cyber-hacking, would handle the matter — rejecting Democrats' calls for a bipartisan joint committee.

"You didn't need a security clearance to figure out who benefited from malicious Russian cyberactivity," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest during a briefing with reporters Monday. "The President-elect didn't call it into question, he called on Russia to hack his opponent. He called on Russia to hack Secretary Clinton. So he certainly had a pretty good sense of whose side this cyberactivity was coming down on."

"The last several week so the election were focused on a discussion of emails that had been hacked and leaked by the Russians. These were emails from the (Democratic National Committee) and John Podesta, not from the (Republican National Committee) and Stephen Bannon," Earnest said, naming the campaign chairmen of the Trump and Hillary Clinton campaigns.
Earnest said his assessment was bolstered by perceived tied between Russia and Trump, which he said would lead to a conclusion that Russia was motivated to help him win the election.
"It was the President-elect who over the course of the campaign indicated that he thought that President Putin was a strong leader," Earnest went on, listing other examples of areas Trump and his campaign appeared closely linked to Russian interests. "The President-elect's team, his campaign, did not make any effort to obscure this."
The statement came amid a dispute between Trump and the US intelligence community over Russia's influence in last month's vote. Trump, in tweets and during a television appearance, called into question an intelligence assessment released in October alleging Russian was attempting to influence the election.
Earnest brushed off Trump's assertion Monday.
"The President-elect has said one thing on Twitter. The 17 intelligence agencies have come forward with unanimous assessment about Russia's malicious cyberactivity. I'll let you and the American people judge who's in a better position to defend their argument," he said.
He said members of Congress should "spare us the hand-wringing" and move forward with investigating Russian ties to the election.

It sounds like the Russians did more than leak some emails. That is what the senators got briefed on by the CIA.. […]

BD, my friend, if indeed the CIA has uncovered concrete evidence that confirms this is about more than leaked emails, then by all means the CIA should be allowed to present the evidence to the American people and let the chips fall where they may.
