What Obama should have said at the press conference.

(From this OP)

"I am.. instructing James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, to arrange for briefings to any elector who wants one.
Fifty-six electors have signed a letter asking for an intelligence briefing on Russia's role in this election.
They want access to the best possible information before they cast their votes.
As President, I see it as my duty to provide it."

This goes deeper than Obama choosing neo-con Republican James Comey as FBI Director.

Obama could have allowed the 56 electors who asked for a briefing to be briefed on the Russian interference in the election' but he chose not to!

Thank You, Mr. President!
