Just curious, but if Trump is a certified delusional nut job for looking into voter frauds, then what does that make Jill Stein and all those who financially supported her 'recount' effort?  Think about.  It's a legit question to ponder for anyone capable of looking at both sides of an issue.

 

There are voting irregularities in virtually every major election.  Bad enough to swing the vote?  Don't know.  Maybe.  Perhaps we should ask Bernie Sander about the revelations of the Wikileaks information and how his campaign was effected.

Personally I'd support a review of voting processes.  There is always room for improvement to establish fair and unmanipulated elections.  What is crazy about that?  Consider this a rhetorical question. 

On the basis of no hard evidence Trump wants to commit the FBI to this huge project. Because the FBI has unlimited resources and nothing better to do. It gets even worse now that we know his suspicions were fueled by a fraudster named Gregg Phillips

 

A Dubious Vote-Fraud Claim Gets the Trump Seal of Approval

WASHINGTON — President Trump used Twitter on Friday to give a shout-out to a man whose claim to have proved that millions of people voted fraudulently has been repeatedly debunked.

In the Twitter message, the president said he looked forward to the results of a voting analysis promised by Gregg Phillips, who last year claimed to have access to data that proved that three million votes had been cast illegally in the election.

Of course keep the FBI busy chasing a nonexistent criminal enterprise and they won't have the manpower or will to investigate the newly formed criminal enterprise that is the Trump Administration

Trump's first network interview as POTUS drew 7.5 m viewers while Obama's drew 17m, but that was because of all those illegal viewers.

Statement from Bernhard Langer on what amounts to a game of telephone re: voter fraud story with Trump: 

 

 

 

Friend told Langer who told a friend who told Trump who used it to justify his voter fraud probe to House and Senate members? It's like Trump is back in high school, but with the nuclear codes.

The most frightening thing is that he takes it as truth
