Where's That Promised Investigation?
Wait a minute. Donald J Trump alleges the biggest voter fraud scandal in US history, with some 5 million illegal votes cast,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,promises an EO and investigation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but now it's "No longer a top priority."
One more promise broken.
What's the word? Oh yeah, Sad. 
Still no executive order on voter fraud, as Trump moves on
Washington (CNN)A full week has passed since President Donald Trump said he would sign an executive order opening a Justice Department investigation into his unsubstantiated claim that millions of people voted illegally in November.
The Oval Office signing was abruptly canceled last Thursday and never rescheduled. The White House hasn't talked about it since. The President has moved on to other subjects.
A senior administration official told CNN that the voter fraud investigation is no longer a top priority for the President, insisting it's not off the table, but not expected anytime soon.
The President has repeatedly claimed without evidence that 3 to 5 million people -- mainly undocumented immigrants -- committed voter fraud in his race with Hillary Clinton. He lost the popular vote to Clinton by nearly 3 million votes.

Re: Where's That Promised Investigation?
Let's be thankful for this. It would have been an expensive boondoggle, questionable from a constitutional perspective, and the result it would have shown (That there isn't widespread voter fraud) wouldn't have been accepted by Trump anyway.
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

Good practical points.
But, calling attention to this story highlights again that the man is a pathological liar.
Another win

A crisis strangles the nation! Gasp! A sad gasp 
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Well, It would have been a crisis if Trump hadn't been lying.
He alleged the biggest voter fraud scandal in US history, promised an EO to investigate it,,,,,,,
then just walked away.
You may be fine with the president lying to you.
But, please don't act as if it is bizarre that others are concerned about it.
You are the one with a problem.
Sad

Re: Where's That Promised Investigation?
Hey, looks like we got our investigation.
Trump, is at it again, saying that there was the largest voter fraud scandal in history.
His proof, and this is an exact quote:
"Well, many people have come out and said I am right,"
Said to Fox News's Bill O’Reilly in an interview airing today.

Re: Where's That Promised Investigation?
Ok, well, "if many people are saying it", then I say let's go for it! BTW, how did that investigation of Obama's birth certificate come out, or are we still pursuing that?
You know what ............. let's just tell Trump he is right about the voting fraud, he got more votes than anyone in the history of mankind and we all love him very, very much and he can be president now if he wants to.

Re: Where's That Promised Investigation?
The whole voter fraud thing and Trump's being upset with the fact that he lost the popular vote and his need to change that perception, smacks of something "Dear Leader" would obsess about.
Just another trait that Trump has in common with other authoritarian power mangers.

Re: Where's That Promised Investigation?
Just ANOTHER piece of "red meat" for his stoogies. Add one more to the list of his promises that have gone by the wayside .
