Electors demand intelligence briefing before Electoral College voteBy KYLE CHENEY and GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI 12/12/16 10:13 AM EST Updated 12/12/16 11:28 AM EST
Ten members of the Electoral College, including Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosis daughter Christine and a former member of Congress, are demanding a briefing from U.S. intelligence officials on any ongoing investigations into Donald Trumps ties to Russia.
In a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the electors nine Democrats and one Republican argue that they require the information ahead of Dec. 19, when the Electoral College is set to meet and select the next president.

The intel report on Russia's role in the 2016 election must be available for all electors before the electoral college meets Dec. 19.

(10,252 posts)It's the whole god-damned republican party and some Dems too, who are venal and corrupted by money and power. The Republican party is a vast criminal enterprise to create & maintain corporate monopolies, tax-free and regulation free environments, as low labor costs as possible, and as much tax payer money as possible to fund their research and development. Wake up Americans! Progressves better start getting their act together, working together before the American Fascists start rounding us up and shutting us down.
