But no one has said that. And no one ever will because there is no reason to think they are fabricated.

And if they are real voters have every right as free people in a free society to read them, consider them and make their judgements based on them - revealing the truth is not manipulation. That's just word games.The Democrats and the Clinton's should not have been doing things in the dark embarrassing enough to cost them the election, and if they did those things anyways they have no one to blame but themselves. Just like Trump ultimately had to own his Pussy remarks, you cannot outrun yourself.

As Obama said sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Then they should have revealed the RNC stuff too.

Meanwhile in Trumpland:

Trump to inherit state-run TV network with expanded reach

...Buried on page 1,404 of the National Defense Authorization Act that passed last week is a provision that would disband the bipartisan board of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the independent U.S. agency that includes Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia and the Middle East Broadcast Networks.

The move — pushed by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce as a way to streamline the agency — concentrates control into a powerful CEO who is appointed by the president...

Essentially, Trump is finally getting his Trump TV — financed by taxpayers to the tune of $800 million per year...

You claimed:
Nobody was worried it was rigged.

Just like Trump ultimately had to own his Pussy remarks, you cannot outrun yourself.

As Obama said sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Then Trump has nothing to fear from an investigation.

Seriously, if there's nothing to any of this, he should welcome an investigation to shore up his legitimacy.

Didn't Obama's Justice department under Eric Holder ignore and refuse to enforce federal laws it did not like? I'm sure Jeff Sessions will do the same.

I was very specific. You made the leap from "nobody worried" to "nobody said" on your own.

Now if I made a questionable claim it would be to imply that Donald Trump could not have been genuinely worried about the election being rigged against him - he might very well have been. But then he might not have been that worried since his actions indicate he still believed (correctly) that he could win.

'Tis a most expansive and Imperial bed the Democrats have made.
Now they have to sleep in it.

It would be ironic and amusing if the rest of us weren't dragged into that bed with them.

What a far thinking and wise idea the Democrats had. They had a chance to destroy that power but foolishly kept it and expanded it. Now we shall all suffer for their arrogance.

Under § 501 of the Smith–Mundt Act of 1948, Voice of America was forbidden to broadcast directly to American citizens until July 2013[3] when it was repealed in the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act provision of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013.[4] The intent of the legislation in 1948 was to protect the American public from propaganda actions by its own government.[35]
