NOT SORRY! Jill Stein's Recount Cash Pays for Her Russia Legal Defense

Former Green Party nominee Jill Stein promised her donors they would have a say where the leftover money they gave to fund the 2016 recount was spent. They didn’t.

Stein has not been accused of any wrongdoing with respect to the various Russia investigations, but she has drawn attention from investigators for, among other things, her attendance at a December 2015 party in Moscow celebrating the 10th anniversary of state broadcaster RT. There she dined with Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser whom Mueller indicted for making false statements.

In December 2017, Senate investigators requested documents from the Stein campaign as part of its own look into Russian government interference in the last presidential election. Stein has largely complied.

There were posters here who proudly donated to her for her fake recount. I hope they look themselves in the mirror and recognize their ignorance and what they have done to further damage our country. Anyone with intelligence could see it had no chance of succeeding.

Just think, how instead of donating to useful charitable causes like homeless shelters or animal rescue groups, they chose instead to support Stein so she could continue her bullshit.

My concern is that the gullible that believed in her and some still believe in her, will just find another purity messiah and keep maintaining the political IQ of babies.

So many gullible people. Being perpetually cynical sometimes sucks, but at least I never get taken like that.
