    Hillary Clinton garnered more than 800,000 votes from noncitizens on Nov. 8, an approximation far short of President Trump’s estimate of up to 5 million illegal voters but supportive of his charges of fraud.
    Political scientist Jesse Richman of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, has worked with colleagues to produce groundbreaking research on noncitizen voting, and this week he posted a blog in response to Mr. Trump’s assertion.
    Based on national polling by a consortium of universities, a report by Mr. Richman said 6.4 percent of the estimated 20 million adult noncitizens in the U.S. voted in November. He extrapolated that that percentage would have added 834,381 net votes for Mrs. Clinton, who received about 2.8 million more votes than Mr. Trump.
    Mr. Richman calculated that Mrs. Clinton would have collected 81 percent of noncitizen votes.

    “Most voters are never asked for voter ID, so it is dishonest to suggest that with the tens of millions of illegal and legal aliens here, there is no voter fraud,” said Tom Fitton, who heads the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. “If the key Old Dominion study results on the 2008 election are applied to 2016 — 1.41 million aliens may have voted illegally, with 1.13 million voting for Democrats.”


    Hmm guess this answered my question a few pages back

    These clowns say there's voter fraud..

    Then that the media can't be trusted...

    Starting a divide between truths and lies..

    They will fabricate that there were illegal votes..

    They will then destroy the media...

    We will only rely on the WH, Trump and his administration for news, which will all be lies...

    Bruh wtf.. how can u not just impeach him and everyone else? ? .

    How can they truly not see this ? ? Baffles me.

    Still early, but trust me, that sh-t's gonna happen soon.

    Republican controlled House and Senate good luck with that.

    They know Trump is garbage but they'll use him to push their agenda and legislation.

    He'll be their useful idiot.

    Exactly....this is why he is crying voter fraud no matter how stupid he sounds....he will use that investigation to implement voter suppression laws that will possibly keep Democrats from gaining control of the House and Senate because he knows they will bring him up on impeachment charges

    t.

    This, but starting feel like Trump is also a diversion to some ? that they really trying pull behind the scenes.

    Also starting feel like Trump extremism is going to be used in where whoever follows him is going to use finesse tactics to ? us over just as much as Trump did and people not going to recognize it because of how extreme Trump was.

    They already are finessing the general public the likes of Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are just as extreme if not more extreme than Trump in their views.

    Those aforementioned are no friends of minorities, the poor, women, homosexuals, immigrants, or most other people unless they are Christian White males who are in a certain income bracket.

    They're a lot more tactful in how they present themselves but it's the same kind of crazy.

    If they could they would eliminate all those social programs privatize everything and likely impose taxes and fees that the middle class and poor would pay the brunt of.

    I know everyone's thought process is on the "worst of the worst" but I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to make it where he can't get impeached or some ? ..

    Police question Netanyahu for third time in criminal case

    Israeli police questioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday for the third time this month as part of a criminal investigation into abuse of office, Israeli media reported.

    A police source confirmed the questioning took place but would not provide further details. A Reuters cameraman at Netanyahu's official residence, where the questioning took place, said investigators were on the scene for three hours.

    Police confirm they are questioning Netanyahu as a suspect in two criminal cases, one involving gifts given to him and his family by businessmen and the other related to conversations he held with an Israeli publisher. He has denied wrongdoing.

    If charges are brought, political upheaval in Israel would be likely, with pressure on Netanyahu, 67, to step down after 11 years in office, spread over four terms.

    The first case -- referred to by police as Case 1,000 -- involves Netanyahu and family members receiving gifts on a regular basis from two businessmen. Israeli media have reported that the gifts include cigars and champagne.

    The second involves a deal Netanyahu allegedly discussed with the owner of one of Israel's largest newspapers, Yedioth Ahronoth, for better coverage in return for curbs on competition from a free paper owned by U.S. casino mogul Sheldon Adelson.

    Adelson is a supporter of the prime minister and his newspaper is staunchly pro-Netanyahu.

    Israel Radio said Friday's questioning mainly focused on the second case.

    Addressing parliament on Wednesday, Netanyahu said there was nothing wrong with receiving gifts from close friends and that it was common for politicians to hold conversations with newspaper publishers. He accused opponents of trying to overthrow him.

    "The goal is to pressure the attorney-general to press charges at any cost. There is no limit to the hounding, the persecution, the lies," Netanyahu said.

    In a research note published this week, Moody's rating agency said the investigations into Netanyahu "are sufficiently serious that they could end his tenure as prime minister".

    "Should Netanyahu be forced to resign, it is likely that new elections would need to be held, since there is no clear successor in his Likud party."

    Under Israeli law, the prime minister is not obliged to resign even after he is charged, but he could be pressured into stepping down. Opponents are calling for him to do so.

    Netanyahu is not the first Israeli leader to have faced criminal investigation: former prime minister Ehud Olmert was convicted of breach of trust and bribery in 2014 and Ariel Sharon was questioned while in office over allegations of bribery and campaign financing illegalities.

    Israel Radio and Channel Ten television reported this week that police were investigating two more cases involving Netanyahu. Police did not confirm or deny the reports.

    Here's how this type of ? works..

    You gather your evidence first, make the claim, then present it.

    Trump legit is basing his fraud ? on two cases, then throws the number of 3-5 million illegal votes out there and says "that's what I think.."

    Then we are told they're looking into it and it will be months before we find out

    At the same time they're discrediting the media

    If you fall for this, you're a dumb ? .

    It's clear what he's doing.

    btw she beat him by at least 3 million votes

    he's basically saying she should have none and he should've won every vote

    stop

    stop

    i didnt ask if u believe everything trump tries to spoon feed u, i asked if a study was done concluding illegal votes were cast would u act like an emotional blind trump supporter and ignore the facts? thats it

    there was already a study posted in one of the last few pages where evidence was gathered, the claim was made and presented posted by i believe washington times of hillary getting 800,000 illegal votes that while it doesnt close up the margin of popular votes its still unclear if she won any states because of it and that 81% of illegal votes go to democrats who race bait ppl into thinking if u want people to show ID at the polls you're a racist....while they allegedly benefit the most off of illegal votes.

    if that is the case, are u gonna whine and cry about that too? or just ignore it? cuz if u ignore it you're the same as the other side of blind biased idiots

    i dont give a ? if u hate trump or love him but a lot of mfs in here dont know how to be consistent
