who might have been robbed can't say shit about it without ruining that person's political career. Same almost certainly goes for his campaign staff. It looks like sour-grapes and conspiracy BS. So, while this is a person, who did the right political thing, and the right gracious thing, and the right thing for solidarity, it means nothing about whether or not election fraud was a factor, and you shouldn't be suggesting that it does.

That said, I have no reason to believe that the election was stolen for Clinton, and I would be greatly surprised. It was heavily weighted for Clinton but that isn't the same thing.
