Donald Trump vs. the CIA over Russian Hacking: A Closer Look
If Trump falls below 270 votes, who is your best guess for who congress would install as President?
Editing to correct my misunderstanding of this. It sounds like congress would chose between Clinton and Trump so Trump ends up getting it anyway.

Predictit has Tillerson at 76 cents.
Watching McCain and Rubio attack Tillerson makes me want to put some money here. Kind of stunned they think he is still going to get confirmed. Maybe he will be but 76 cents? That seems really high.

Since GOP figures were hacked, won't the CIA need to see any compromised emails?
Not to mention the intelligence committee? They would need to know who Russia could be holding the strings to. This seems like it could open up a HUGE can of worms.
Edited to change RNC hacked to GOP figures.
To make the election fair the only solution is for Trump to release all his emails and taxes
and the RNC release all of their emails. Then we vote again. We would then be on a level playing field. If they won't do these things then Hillary should be declared president.
Sound fair?
Something for the electoral college to consider
This is no ordinary election. Yes the people voted and Trump scraped by in a few key states but lost the popular vote by a pretty hefty margin. Trump is clearly unfit for the job, is dividing the country and probably won because of outside influences from Russia and our own FBI. If there can't be another vote the fair thing for the electoral college to do is a compromise of someone politically between Hillary Clinton and Trump. I would suggest they consider someone perhaps like Jon Huntsman or Chris Gibson. I think we need to be making this case. When our election is hacked and the targeted candidate barely loses, the electoral college needs to make an attempt to set things straight. A compromise is the only plausible solution barring a re-vote.
How to Manipulate the Narcissist
Putin's fawning over Trump is right out of the playbook. Watching this I can really see why Saturday Night Live gets under his skin. I am thinking he may really like the Generals in face to face meeting because they have been taught to show respect to the Commander in Chief and in many ways do as the Commander in Chief orders. I am guessing that anyone coming into their interview and showing any signs of being a devils advocate is instantly dismissed from the running. Chris Christie for example is a lot like he is and so they might clash. Those in the CIA have been trained to deal with narcissists. Surely they have Trump's psychological profile on file.
