Today marked the first meeting of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, a pernicious, antidemocratic sham of an investigation that exists solely because Donald Trump once tweeted some lies about "voter fraud" because the fact that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton still keeps him awake at night. Minutes after Vice President Pence solemnly declared that the group would have "no preconceived notions" about its work, Trump sauntered to the podium and yelled about the urgent need to end illegal voting by "non-citizens or the deceased," which, for the millionth time, is a dangerous, delusional conspiracy theory that has no basis in fact.

Although the White House likely hopes to use the initiative's conclusions to strip the rolls of millions of legitimate blue-state voters, it's not clear whether vice chair Kris Kobach read that particular e-mail all the way through. In an interview with NBC News' Katy Tur conducted shortly after the meeting wrapped, Kobach cheerfully conceded that just as he believes that we'll never really know if Hillary Clinton earned some 3 million more votes than Donald Trump, lingering questions about voting integrity across the country mean that we can't be sure that Trump won the election, either.

TUR: Are the votes for Donald Trump that led him to win the election in doubt as well?

KOBACH: Absolutely. If there are ineligible voters—people who are non-citizens, people who are felons, who shouldn’t be voting, according to the laws of that state—you don’t know!

Behold the bombshell revelation for yourself:

I've watched this clip something like 17 times and have pinpointed the exact moment when Kobach realizes, just a split-second too late, that carrying his argument to its logical conclusion means publicly undermining the entire premise of the Commission on national television.

Whatever the White House's inquiry yields, it's important to remember that the administration's handpicked team has candidly acknowledged that it will be impossible to ever know whether Donald Trump actually won the 2016 contest and is a legitimate President of the United States, or is instead a sad, weak imposter propelled by a massive wave of illegal voting to a fraudulent Electoral College victory. Glad that's settled.
