Fox’s Jarrett Asks If Clinton Squandered ‘Get Out of Jail Free Card’ Because of Recount

Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett is wondering whether Hillary Clinton is back in Donald Trump‘s sights amid these new recount efforts.

Clinton personally has not weighed in on the recount efforts, but her campaign is participating in Jill Stein‘s Wisconsin recount efforts and her attorney today filed a motion to join the lawsuit Stein filed over hand recounts.

Jarrett wrote a piece for FoxNews.com yesterday saying, “In politics, what is given… can be taken away. Especially when the recipient of a generous gift exhibits a conspicuous lack of gratitude. Which is precisely what Clinton has now done.”

He explained to Cavuto today that after she conceded to Trump and he publicly indicated she wouldn’t push for investigations into her, that could have been the end of it. But…

“She does the one thing guaranteed to antagonist Donald Trump, and that is to join the recount effort, and he is furious… With a wave of his hand, he could signal to his attorney general, ‘You know what? I’ve reconsidered yet again. Do what you think is right.'”

Clinton campaign counsel Marc Elias has been making it clear they didn’t want the recount, but if it’s happening they’re going to have someone involved in the process. He told The Washington Post, “We have not asked for a recount. We have not sought a recount. We have not pushed for a recount. What we have done is say that if there is going to be a recount, we will participate in the ways I have described.”
