General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhen the investigations begin, Jill Stein should be called before the committees,
along with all of the other US politicians who have a connection with Russia and Putin. Among the questions that should be asked:
"Did you pay for your own trip to Russia, where you sat at a table with Putin and the now discredited Flynn, or was your trip paid for by Russia? Also, did you accept any fee for attending that dinner? Further, did any discussion of the upcoming Presidential election occur? Please remember that you are under oath."
Given the fact that the number of votes in WI, MI, and PA received by Jill Stein in November, 2016, were enough to throw the election in those states to Donald J. Trump, these questions, and many others, need to be asked of her. This is no longer just a coincidence. We need to have answers.

(11,509 posts)When there is an investigation, Stein's participation should definitely be looked at, especially given her dinner with Putin during a critical time frame. Why was she even there? Plus, her visceral animosity toward Hillary always sounded off for some reason. Now, perhaps, there is a good one.

(146,248 posts)It's a shame, really. She had no real qualifications, was sort of a nutcase about things like vaccines, and was just generally a loon. I never could understand why anyone would support her, but maybe support wasn't the deal. Maybe it was just spitefully refusing to vote for Hillary Clinton, for whatever reason.

(790 posts)Who knows or if she was just a idiot asset. But something smells about her. Just like we have a Green party candidate that help throw the election here in my 21st NY Congressional District to a TRUMPY backer Elise Stefanik. He drew like 20% of the vote.

(146,248 posts)Remember all those donations for the recounts? Those are gone. She was sure that if she bought that many lottery tickets she'd be sure to win. She did have a couple smaller wins, but she bought more lottery tickets with those. No joy. But, that's how she rolls.
If you want her to speak, you've gotta cover her expenses, see. The Russians did, so she got to eat some borscht and kasha, and they gave her this cool coat with a wolf fur collar. But, by the time she got home, she was broke again, so she had to pawn it.
Jill's not completely put together, if you know what I mean...
