Election Recount Not About the Election

One thing I have learned over the years when it comes to the liberal left Democrats is nothing is ever what it seems.  It's like the single-use plastic bag bans that are spreading across liberal America.  Notice there is a ten cent charge that goes along with using paper bags or thicker plastic bags that take 28 times the energy to create.  It's a hidden tax.  The single-use plastic bag ban has nothing to do with the environment, and everything to do with devising a way to get more money out of us.

The same thing goes for the desire for a recount.  It has nothing to do with the election, and everything to do with something else.

It turns out they were too late for a Pennsylvania recount.  If they, specifically Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein, were serious about a recount, wouldn't they have made sure they got to blue-since-Reagan Pennsylvania before the expiration date?

During the Trump campaign the chant "lock her up" was a regular occurrence.  The day after the election I wrote that Trump will not pursue putting Hillary in jail, but that does not ensure that the Attorney General, presumably Jeff Sessions, won't continue with investigations and prosecute Hillary Clinton for her crimes.  I think Hillary truly believes that if Trump is in the White House, she will be pursued.  And criminals are willing to do everything they can to keep from getting caught, even if what they are doing is obviously ridiculous.

From Hillary's point of view, the only thing that will keep her out of jail is keeping Trump out of the White House.  Therefore, the recount is necessary.  In the panic, however, they got sloppy, and missed Pennsylvania's deadline.  Time is short.  The criminal is panicking.  If the recount doesn't work, Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Crime Machine, will go into high gear, and the list of dead bodies caused by the Clintons will begin to grow again.

The recount is evidence she is panicking.

The last thing Hillary wants to be wearing is an orange jump suit, and she believes the only way to stop it from happening is to stop Trump from grabbing the reins of the federal government. . . by any means necessary.
