Today on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127

On Monday, ten members of the Electoral College sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asking for a briefing before next week on “Russian election interference.” Citing Alexander Hamilton’s The Federalist Paper No. 68, the electors contend that they have a duty to ensure “that the American people elect a president who is constitutionally qualified and fit to serve.”  Joining me today to talk all about the effort to inform the Electoral College about the Russian hacking of the election is Christine Pelosi, a Democratic California elector and lead author of the letter to Clapper. 

Late Wednesday, Republicans in North Carolina’s General Assembly announced that they would gather for a special session supposedly to work on disaster relief for hurricane victims, but it appears that that was just a clever ruse and they were really planning a massive power grab which is being described as a ‘coup’.  Joining me today to talk all about Republican efforts in the Tar Heel state to maintain one-party rule by rejecting democratic norms and revoking the will of the voters is North Carolina State Rep. Chris Sgro who represents District 58 in Guilford County. 

This sure has been another crazy week in politics what with President Elect Trump picking the CEO of ExxonMobile to be Secretary of State, the CIA and the White House have said that Russia was behind the hacking of the DNC, and Republicans in North Carolina are launching what has been described a ‘coup d’etat’ or a ‘power grab’.  Joining me today to help us wrap up the week in politics is Eleanor Clift the Washington correspondent for The Daily Beast, where she covers the White House and writes about politics and culture.
