Axelrod: Comey 'didn’t tell Hillary Clinton not to campaign in Wisconsin'
The Politico ^ | May 3, 2017 | Aidan Quigley

David Axelrod said that although Hillary Clinton has a “legitimate beef” with FBI Director James Comey, Comey is not responsible for the mistakes of her campaign.

"Jim Comey didn't tell her not to campaign in Wisconsin after the convention," said Axelrod, who served as former president Barack Obama's adviser, on CNN on Wednesday. "Jim Comey didn't say 'don't put any resources into Michigan until the final week of the campaign.'"

During an interview at an event in Manhattan Tuesday, Clinton said that she takes “absolute personal responsibility” for the loss but said she was “on her way to winning” before Comey and Russia intervened.

Clinton’s interview started a round of commentary on the 2016 campaign, with Trump tweeting late Tuesday that Comey was “the best thing that ever happened” to Clinton as he “gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!”

Axelrod said Clinton shouldn’t shift responsibility for her loss and should move on.

“She said the words, ‘I’m responsible’, but everything else suggested she doesn’t really feel that way,” he said. “And I don’t think that helps her in the long run.”

Obama is 55. He could run the dems for 25 yrs as long as Hillary is gone.

    I'm impressed with David Axelrod as an opponent.
  1. He was sensible on election night when Donald Trump became our next President.
  2. He was undefeated, getting Barack Obama elected twice.
  3. He calls Hillary Clinton out for losing to Donald Trump.

GREAT!!!! he has the attention span of a 10 year old, that was the worst soft coup attempt in history, he LOVES being adored by white rich folk, has no taste for really fighting, and is easily distracted.

We’re set if you’re right.

lol.

I’d say it’s a long shot.

Worst trait in a leader. Not being able to take blame or responsibility.

Well, after treason.

. . "before Comey and Russia intervened "

Now they've got Comey colluding with the Russians, as well? Dear Herness, the election has been over for more than 3 months. No one cares that you take/don't take responsibility for whatever it is you're taking/not taking responsibility for. For gods sake, move on. It's over

As much of a weasel as Comey is I doubt that he told Hillary to break the law thousands of times either.

Even if Russia was behind the wikileaks, all of that was baked in by the Oct 27 date she is talking about so its hard to blame Russia, period.

They keep throwing her under the bus,

The Clintons have got to be the stupidest cl!ts.It is Obama throwing her under the bus, Ben Gahzi and all, which destroyed her. Had Bill not endorsed Obama on the aecond round, she would have won against Romney

Like typical liberals, they fail to see it is their own racial fabricated base which eventually pushes them aside.

Comey is an Obama dog. It is Obama and here Axeleod who throw her again under the bus. They perfectly know they set up her up to shield their Marxist shenanigans in Lybia and wirh Isis

But like good little stupid liberal pandering cravenly to gays and blacks, she wont fight back

Hillary has no ground to fight back on vis a vie Libya. She started the “video was at fault” story, she denied added security, she pulled back security that was already there, she refused free security from the DoD, she allowed the consulate to be occupied without the proper (legally required) security measures for the property and buildings.

Hillary had to be the one who ordered the stand down of in-country forces at the CIA compound. She’s no patsy for Benghazi.

...."Hillary had to be the one who ordered the stand down of in-country forces at the CIA compound. She’s no patsy for Benghazi".....

Of course she did...and she's thus far escaped responsibility in every sense of the word....but she is protected as we still see she struts her evil before us all ....

This all will be sorted out as soon as it is determined if the under-inflated footballs really caused the Indianapolis Colts to loose the AFC Championship to the New England Patriots by a slim 38 point margin. In the meantime, both the football game and the election are over. The losers lost and the winners won.
