    It is not over until the fat lady sings.

    From the green party recounting, to the boycott by the electoral college, there is a strong effort to not elect President Trump.

    This is the most serious one, since the sitting President has the power to not hand over power if there is credible evidence of a rigged election.

    good needs to be done, wont be complete until long after Trump is in office, so you do not have to worry about that, this is just to find out what happened

    the quote says the President wants the review done before he leaves office.

    if there is credible evidence of hacking, most likely a republican of the establishment would be President.

    to me this is still a loss, i would rather see President Trump than an establishment republican as President.

    This is the right move and only those who hate America and love them some Russia woukd be against thus investigation. Oh funny ins't it that the mist ardent Trump supporters actually hate America and actually fear making a. Cum country likecRussia uncomfortable.

    Hmmm, so some left-wing activist bureaucrats who make their living off the Government are going to look around and maybe find some credible evidence that keeps Trump from becoming President? That would be totally out of character for the Obama Administration, the most transparent in history.

    No, the president has NO authority to "not turn over power" whatsoever. If at the end of his term there is no new president, the Speaker of the House becomes the president until the House of Representatives (Republican) picks a president. Either way Obama is gone at the end of his term.

    I've been looking forward to January 20th, 2017 for a long time. Seeing him, Moochelle, and sprogs hop aboard that helicopter and fly off will be one of the best sights we will ever see.

    The investigation that needs to be started is by a grand jury of Hilary Clinton on the emails, Hilary and Bill Clinton on pay for play, and of the Clinton Foundation(s).

    Talk about wasting money....libs want to investigate something they claim never happens, is impossible to happen and hasn't ever happened.

    This is just Obama distracting us away from the FACT that under his leadership this country has lost a ton of democrat seats along with a can't lose, sure-win Clinton election. He ego can't and never will allow us to think this election was a referendum on him and liberal policies, so he wants to cast doubt on its legitimacy.

    The one thing he will never cast doubt on is his legacy of being the worst president in American history.

    We know what happened. What is happening now is the losers trying to sew seeds of doubt for political benefit.

    Yep. Make Trump's Presidency look as illegitimate as possible and instill as much chaos as possible during his Administration. The left acts like an arsonist when it's not in power.

    President Trump will make the republican party famous for a generation if he makes high paying jobs for the poor, so this strategy could be to put in an establishment republican so that democrats could regain power in the next election.

    Trump won. You lost. Get over it. Trump will be president and no amount of crying or whining will change that.

    Probably whatever Obama decides. This is a foolish thing to do.

    Apparently you don't believe in fair elections but Obama does. Btw he's not the worst president in American history; Woodrow Wilson was; read up on your history.

    Although I voted for Trump I don't mind the truth coming out about what, if any, involvement the Russians had.

    Why does president Obama need to order a review? Doesn't American's intelligence agencies already do this on their own?

    If it comes to light that Russia was responsible for the hacking it still doesn't invalidate what the American people read in those emails. If Russia was responsible then America should take some appropriate retaliatory action against Russia.

    The election results can't be changed because there's no proof the leaked emails cost Clinton the election. In fact Clinton lost because the blue wall in the midwest fell. Those midwest voters did not cite Clinton's emails as their reason for voting for Trump.

    Evidence that the machines were tampered with. What level of credible evidence would you have to see to warrant an investigation at the very least?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I honestly don't care if Russia was behind the leaks. I do however care if we learn that Russia somehow rigged the voting machines.

    In other fake-news: it's not true that Obamacare insures 20 million.
