Nasty CNN Says 'Someone Needs to FedEx' Trump the Constitution

November 11th, 2020 10:30 AM

On Sunday evening’s CNN Newsroom, host Ana Cabrera and national security analyst Samantha Vinograd nastily attacked President Trump for daring to question their candidate’s vote counts. Cabrera accused Trump of “a dangerous attempt to undermine” voting and Vinograd vehemently declared that “someone needs to FedEx President Trump a copy of the Constitution.”

Cabrera began the segment by crazily ranting that Trump desires “to undermine” voting:

 

 

President Trump has made it very clear he is not planning to concede defeat in this election. Instead, he continues to spread false and baseless claims that the results are somehow rigged against him and the Trump campaign says starting tomorrow, they will start prosecuting their case in court. All of it a dangerous attempt to undermine the most sacred part of our democracy, the vote.

How dare Trump question Joe Biden winning! That is Cabrera’s candidate and he is making her angry by questioning the declared results of an incredibly close election.

This set up Vinograd, a former Obama national security advisor, to rave against Trump and proclaim that “someone needs to FedEx President Trump a copy of the Constitution”:

Someone needs to FedEx President Trump a copy of the Constitution. His personal opinion is irrelevant here. The 12th Amendment clearly lays out a process for declaring a winner in this presidential election. The 20th Amendment clearly stipulates that at noon on January 20th the President's term ends. There is no legal requirement for President Trump to personally concede. Now, he seems to be trying to slow the process down through the courts. The truth is, he can cry fraud until the cows come home but it's really just background noise unless he can make a compelling case in court. To date his team has been throwing legal spaghetti against a -- against a wall and they haven't been able to get anything to stick. Remember as well that they're up against the clock. According to federal law, states have to settle election-related disputes by December 8th in this election cycle. So overall, Trump's personal concession won't impact the peaceful transfer of power. 

How ironic for a former Obama stooge to complain about someone not respecting the Constitution. Also, did not her former boss, Joe Biden, introduce his plan for a national mask mandate on Sunday? She may need someone to send her “a copy of the Constitution” before she discusses who is acting on questionable Constitutional grounds.

Cabrera then suggested that Trump will disrupt the transition process, to which Vinograd claimed that Trump “is harming” “the American people” through how he is handling the process:

Historically the administrator has made that ascertainment shortly after a winner is declared. An anomaly was 2000 of course because the results of the election were contested. Unfortunately, the administrator -- administrator confirmed yesterday that the GSA is not yet ready to make that ascertainment. That means that additional funding, additional office space, and the ability of Biden personnel to enter federal agencies and departments can't kick in. Concurrently, the Biden team can't finalize the vetting process for their political nominees and we don't know if the Biden team will be able to start receiving intelligence briefings absent this ascertainment. Now, Trump may be putting political pressure on the GSA to hold back on this certification. The Biden team could go to court. But it's worth noting that the only people that Trump is harming is the American people by potentially pressuring the GSA not to move forward with this post-election transition process. 

2000 was “an anomaly” because it was “contested”? The results of this election are also being contested. But of course, as a former Biden and Obama stooge, Vinograd does not want to acknowledge any possibility that the election results could be reversed.

CNN does not care about the Constitution but about attacking Trump.

ANA CABRERA: President Trump has made it very clear he is not planning to concede defeat in this election. Instead, he continues to spread false and baseless claims that the results are somehow rigged against him and the Trump campaign says starting tomorrow, they will start prosecuting their case in court. All of it a dangerous attempt to undermine the most sacred part of our democracy, the vote. CNN national security analyst Samantha Vinograd is with us now, she’s also a former national security adviser in the Obama administration. Sam, does Trump's refusal to concede actually have any impact? 

SAMATHA VINOGRAD (CNN NATIONAL SECURITY ANALYST): Ana, someone needs to FedEx President Trump a copy of the Constitution. His personal opinion is irrelevant here. The 12th Amendment clearly lays out a process for declaring a winner in this presidential election. The 20th Amendment clearly stipulates that at noon on January 20th the President's term ends. There is no legal requirement for President Trump to personally concede. Now, he seems to be trying to slow the process down through the courts. The truth is, he can cry fraud until the cows come home but it's really just background noise unless he can make a compelling case in court. To date his team has been throwing legal spaghetti against a -- against a wall and they haven't been able to get anything to stick. Remember as well that they're up against the clock. According to federal law, states have to settle election-related disputes by December 8th in this election cycle. So overall, Trump's personal concession won't impact the peaceful transfer of power. 

CABRERA: How much can Trump influence the transition process, though? 

VINOGRAD: Well, recognizing that any disruption occasioned by the transfer of executive power could harm our national security, Congress passed a presidential transition act and subsequent legislation. This legislation lays out specific requirements for both the pre-election and post-election period. The Trump team largely met their statutory obligations in the pre-election period. They set out their transition counsels, succession plan, and reported to Congress. As of -- after the convention, the Trump team signed a memorandum of understanding with the Biden team and gave them access to certain funding, certain office space, and gave them the ability to process security clearances. They also started to allow Biden officials to sit on the transition councils. From the Biden transition -- transition team’s perspective, keep in mind, this isn't Biden's first rodeo. He went through a transition process with President Obama and reportedly he is making good progress on his personnel list and he's already published policy plans. The outstanding question is when the Trump administration is going to pull the trigger -- pull the trigger on the post-election transition process. 

CABRERA: And what needs to happen for this post-election transition process to proceed? 

VINOGRAD: Well, by law, the administrator of the general services administration has to ascertain the winner of the election. Historically the administrator has made that ascertainment shortly after a winner is declared. An anomaly was 2000 of course because the results of the election were contested. Unfortunately, the administrator -- administrator confirmed yesterday that the GSA is not yet ready to make that ascertainment. That means that additional funding, additional office space, and the ability of Biden personnel to enter federal agencies and departments can't kick in. Concurrently, the Biden team can't finalize the vetting process for their political nominees and we don't know if the Biden team will be able to start receiving intelligence briefings absent this ascertainment. Now, Trump may be putting political pressure on the GSA to hold back on this certification. The Biden team could go to court. But it's worth noting that the only people that Trump is harming is the American people by potentially pressuring the GSA not to move forward with this post-election transition process. 

CABRERA: As always Sam Vinograd, great information. Thank you so much.
