Jill Stein warns against Senate Intel Committee trying to 'criminalize' people with Russian backgrou

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Thursday explained her opposition to turning over certain documents to the Senate Intelligence Committee in its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“The only thing we’re not turning over is what the Constitution says the government should never ask of us,” Stein said on Fox News.

She explained that she would turn over her campaign’s communications with the Russian government and Russian media. However, her campaign has declined to comply with a request to release communication records with "all people of Russian descent."

Stein warned that giving the committee those documents when they aren't relevant to the investigation could risk unfairly implicating Russians.

“The point we’re making is that there is no way to know who has Russian background,” Stein said.

"They are trying to criminalize the simple act of sitting down to dinner with Putin and discussing how to rig the election. What's so wrong with that?"

all credibility. She's spinning her wheels, most likely because further documentation will put her and her campaign in a less than favorable light.

Here's the question I'd like an answer to Ms Stein: What happen to all those millions of $ to recount the vote?

She still got that pile of "recount" cash that she got from too many people on our side.
