Clinton blames Comey letters for stopping her momentum and turning out Trump voters

Hillary Clinton blamed the renewed FBI inquiry into her State Department email system for blunting her momentum in the presidential election and the closure of that inquiry two days before Election Day for energizing voters for Donald Trump.

"There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful," Clinton told top donors on a farewell conference call Saturday.

"But our analysis is that (FBI Director James B.) Comey's letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum," she said.

"We dropped, and we had to keep really pushing ahead to regain our advantage - which going into the last weekend, we had. We were once again up in all but two of the battleground states, and we were up considerably in some that we ended up losing. And we were feeling like we had put it back together," she continued....

Give me a break, Hillary. Comey did his job which was to ensure he didn’t hide anything from the committee. Not a fan of Comey letting her skate, but he met the bare minimum with the letter.

Always someone else’s fault with the Clintons.

ALWAYS.

“You know, I was enjoying a REALLY GREAT CAREER, until that jury found me guilty and put me in jail,” said every burgler ever.

Comey was her “excuse” from the moment he was told (by the Hillary camp) to re open the investigation.

That's my take anyway.

Since she brings this up....let’s all remind our friends and neighbors that the Clinton crimes from Haiti, to Benghazi etc have still to be punished.

Typical liberal, a little girl that blames everyone else for her actions.

Shhhhh!

If she wants to blame Comey, I’m not going to tell her why she lost.

Let them bask in the failure of -—— -——.

Comey did everything he could, along with the Hillary ladies within the DOJ, to suppress the investigation and protect Hillary.

He only came forward with the letter to Congress when the field FBI agents and the NYPD were on the verge of rebellion. He knew about Weiner’s laptop for weeks earlier. And did not get the DOJ to authorize a warrant to read the emails.

And when they forced his hand and he had to go public and get a warrant, then Comey and the DOJ worked as hard as possible to “clear” Hillary before the election.

Maybe if she had not used a private server to try to hide her illicit activities there would not have been any FBI probe.........

We were once again up in all but two of the battleground states, and we were up considerably in some that we ended up losing.

And there's the deception that they're still believing. "They were up" only because of polls that were obviously flawed.
