Former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said Monday that “forces within the FBI” may have sought to elect Donald Trump as president.
“There are at least forces within the FBI that wanted her to lose,” Podesta said during an interview with John Heilemann hosted by NewCo. Podesta offered no evidence to back-up his speculation. “I’m not sure they really understood the alternative, but they wanted her to lose. I think that’s one possibility.”
These “forces” could have played a role in FBI Director James Comey’s controversial decision to alert Congress 11 days before the election that the FBI was evaluating more of Clinton’s emails, Podesta said.
The Clinton campaign has long pointed to Comey’s letter as a turning-point in the election which may have caused their electoral college defeat.
He also said pressure from underneath Comey may have pushed him to send the letter.
“He made a bad judgment, and I think virtually anybody who has opined on the topic…. have said it was a terrible mistake of judgment,” Podesta said. “And I think it did terrible damage to us. If you look at the polling at that period time, that’s when the race began to tighten in that week.”
The FBI declined to comment.
Hilarys wrong doing did
Too much pizza, John.
So the reason why WI, MI and PA voted for Trump...is because of Russian FBI agents in the USA.
Dang, I’m so stupid, cause that makes no sense to me.
Perhaps a bunny with a pancake on its head is behind all of this. I’ll never know...
Why is this Satan worshiper not in jail for pedaephilia?
Put an ankle bracelet and gps on John.
It’s like Podesta forgot that Wikileaks exposed Hillary as a cheater and fraud from his email account.
HILLARY cost Hillary the election. In her effort to appease all, SHE HAD NO MESSAGE. She could not reveal her TRUE agenda because it was 4-8 MORE YEARS OF OBAMA TREASON on behalf of her U.N. Muzzie globalist caliphate handlers.
Pfftttttttttttttt!
P.S. Hillary believes it was Podesta who cost her the election. Guess who she sent out to tell Hillary supporters to go home and go to bed the night of the election?
FBI forces wiped away Clinton’s win? Like with a rag?
I thought the Russians were the reason Hillary lost.
Next the rats will be blaming George W Bush.
They are “may have”ing this thing to death.
But never, ever is it Hillary’s fault. Or Podesta’s fault, Or Mook’s fault. Or Huma’s fault. Always “other’s” fault.
Are you kidding? Podesta himself exposed the HRC campaign and the DNC to the hackers, first by clicking on a phishing email (duh) and having “password” as his password (double duh).
I thought Russians were behind
Because she couldn’t possibly have lost on her poor policies and campaigning, could she? The arrogance is just astonishing.
I do think, however, that they expected to win no matter what through fraud and cheating and were somehow foiled. I would love to know how.
Hey Podesta. It’s Hillary’s fault!
Hillary was a mortally wounded candidate. Her arrogance let her believe she was above answering to the email fiasco, Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation, her husband and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting, her health and a campaign she felt didn’t have to participate in. The death blow was the Podesta emails, Donna Brazille and the DNC. The media doesn’t want to address these fatal flaws so they blame the Russians, and even if the Russians hacked them, big deal.....she was already bleeding to death.
He is correct.
Every decent, moral and honest FBI agent loathed the Hillabeast.
She defined the term “career felon”.
Better shut up, johnny boy
