The Florida-recount is now somehow about Fusion GPS and the Steele-dossier???

https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2018/11/08/foxs-brian-kilmeade-connects-florida-recounts-christopher-steele-and-fusion-gps-we-are-back-dossier/222039

BRIAN KILMEADE (GUEST HOST): Senator, real quick, Marc Elias is coming in. He's a Clinton attorney, and guess what? Works for Perkins Coie, and guess what? They hired Fusion GPS, who hired Christopher Steele.

We are back in the dossier conversation. Marc Elias is back in our lives, as a country. The Clinton lawyers are here, and they are going to start putting a lawsuit together ...

Joining us now, the man himself, Governor Rick Scott. Governor, I'm looking at these numbers. On Election Day, you were up 57,000 votes. What is the number now?

RICK SCOTT: Now it's down to 15,000 votes, so it's clear we got some left-wing activists, we have got some Democratic D.C. Lawyers, they're down here for one purpose, to steal this election.

...

HANNITY: I cannot -- to me, this is the single biggest abuse of power in an election I have seen, and they have Marc Elias the guy at the heart of the whole Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, Clinton bought and paid for dossier, leading the way?

SCOTT: Yep. I mean, they are down here, he is down here for one purpose, to steal this election.

I like how they always dance around what they really want to say because they know it's a lie. There is no conspiracy... it's called counting every ballot.

I also love that they believe that whomever is up on election night is the automatic winner. Concerning how many people have no idea how elections work. Rick Scott has never won a race with over 50% of the vote, but wants to cry foul when he could be the one to lose a neck and neck race.

6. Oh I didn't make that connection. No wonder they are spinning these conspiracy theories.

Is the Nelson and Gillum are both Florida people. So they know where the proverbial bodies are buried. And they have Florida people backing them that can play just as dirty.

This should be interesting.

Brian Kilmeade is a fooking idiot.

As long as it makes these bastards squirm I say go full force on them.
