Obama, GOP had secret plan to validate Clinton victory if Trump didn’t accept it

FOX:  Former President Obama had a plan to validate the 2016 election in the event that then-candidate Donald Trump lost and challenged the results.

Obama administration officials told New York magazine that a bipartisan plan was in place just in time for the election to certify the results and reveal the intelligence community’s claims that Russian interference supported Trump’s candidacy.

Such a measure was devised after Trump said the election was “rigged” and joked on the campaign trail that he wouldn’t accept the election results if he lost.

“I will totally accept the result of this great and historic presidential election,” he said. “If I win.”

The plan to validate the election involved former secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. Former presidents and congressional Republicans also participated in the plan, the outlet reported.  more

  1. Part of any governments job is to plan for possible contingencies. This should come as no big surprise to anyone. Heavy handed suppression of rioting and other illegal activities could become necessary regardless of who is in control.
    Protests should be legal and civil, NOT like what we are seeing presently by the unhinged left. Failure to confront illegal activities will result in the acceptance of these actions as normal and will continue to deteriorate civility beyond recovery. Then its chaos.

  2. “Bi-Patrisan” means the Bush/Rove leftist wing of the GOP is/was working with Barry. not news! Clapper, Brennan, Mueller, Comey …. were all promoted or hired by GWB and kept on by Barry because GWB and Barry are both NWO/America last Presidents.

  3. The civil unrest if Hillary had won would have been horrible. TEA Party activists ripping up posters of Hillary on street corners and then picking up the pieces and putting them in trash receptacles. Conservative voters protesting by showing up for work 10 minutes late and taking a few extra minutes for lunch to protest higher taxes. Republicans moving their 401k investments to safer vehicles. Homeowners refusing to repaint their homes or maintain their yards adequately for a couple of years due to a continued lagging economy.

    Don Lemon, Jim Acosta and Cooper Anderson would have had a field day reporting on all of this unrest.

  4. What would have happened if Trump lost is that he would have conceded defeat and congratulated Hillary. It is Hillary who refused to concede and announced a “resistance” based on their phony Russia collusion lies.

    No, Obama’s secret plan involved much more than PSAs invoking civility and peaceful transfer of power. I would not be surprised if the plans involved arresting Trump “for his protection” to get him out of the way while Hillary installed “hope and change” part 2.

    Conspiracy theory? Well, who would have believed that the FBI Director (Comey) and the former Director (Mueller)conspired to install a Special Counsel to investigate the President for carrying out his Constitutional duties? Yet that is exactly what they did.

    Remember, Republicans vote on Tuesday. Democrats vote on Wednesday. Tell your Democrat friends. Get the word out.

  5. In hindsight it scares me to think how perilously close to a Communist take-over we really were! Just look at Hillary’s unhinged marxists calling for violence! We’re still cleaning up the Rat’s nest and will be for a few more years, but thank God it didn’t go any longer!

  6. Be prepared, right Barry? And yet there didn’t seem to be any bipartisan plan to deal with all the post-election violence that resulted when Hillary lost and refused to accept the election results. The New Yorker article was just another chance to poke at President Trump.
