Newsweek isn’t biased. Oooooooh nooo. They didn’t misquote Eric Trump on purpose! They just forgot what quotation marks mean!
And this? This isn’t because they WANT Hillary to be president!
Ok, wait. Yes, Yes it is…
Hillary Clinton could still become president if Russia probe finds conspiracy evidence https://t.co/0kMrSXsaNB pic.twitter.com/j6P256oI0J

NEWSWEEK IS JUST KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE, FOLKS!
Nearly a year after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a Harvard University professor says 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could still become commander in chief.
Lawrence Lessig, the Roy L. Furman professor of law and leadership at Harvard Law School, penned an essay for Medium in October outlining a series of hypothetical scenarios that could take place should the ongoing probe find that the Trump campaign actually conspired with Russia to influence the results of the election.
If Trump did conspire with Russia, the president “should resign, or, if he doesn’t, he should be impeached,” Lessig wrote in his essay. Vice President Mike Pence would also have to either resign or get impeached, which would make House Speaker Paul Ryan the president of the United States, Lessig wrote at the time.
Given that there is “no mechanism in American law for a new election,” nor “a mechanism for correcting the criminal results of the previous election,” Ryan ought to nominate “the person defeated by the treason of his own party, and then step aside, and let her become President,” Lessig went on to say.
On Wednesday, Lessig told Newsweek this scenario was still a possibility.
And um… that didn’t really go over so hot:
stop. stop this. stop. forever.

I could become a millionaire if I guess the right combination of winning lottery numbers, but I won’t. Same applies with HRC becoming president.

AAAACTUALLY… there’s more a chance of you winning the lottery, dude. Because, you know… there’s a chance.
Why do you write this? Anyone who has read the Constitution knows that it isn’t true, even if Trump is impeached. Clickbait.
