Hillary Clinton, the best-funded, most-prepared, most media-supported candidate in U.S. presidential political history, lost because the FBI had it in for her, according to a new story in The Atlantic.
This is the same FBI whose agents texted each other regularly about their hatred of then-candidate Donald Trump, who talked of “insurance policies” and working with people all over the world to bring him down, who closed an investigation into whether Hillary Clinton violated numerous federal laws with her homebrew server before even interviewing her, whose former director just admitted in a book that he told President Obama he dreaded having to go to work for Trump after Trump defeated Clinton to claim the presidency.
In “How the FBI Helped Sink Clinton’s Campaign: New reports reveal that decisions made by a number of officials, acting out of a variety of motives, injured not Trump’s candidacy – but that of his opponent,” Adam Serwer wrote that leaks from inside the bureau “influenced a series of late-October decisions that damaged Hillary Clinton’s chances in the 2016 election.”

New reports reveal that decisions made by a number of officials, acting out of a variety of motives, injured not Trump’s candidacy—but that of his opponent.
Public statements from former FBI Director James Comey, as well as an internal investigation focusing on former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, have shed light on the extent to which leaks from the Bureau influenced a series of late-October decisions that damaged Hillary Clinton’s chances in the 2016 election.
Pressure from the FBI officials investigating the Clinton Foundation, who leaked their frustrations to the press, affected both Comey’s decision to make his late-October announcement that the Clinton email probe had been reopened, and according to the Department of Justice Inspector General, McCabe’s decision to publicly confirm the existence of the Clinton Foundation probe to The Wall Street Journal. Both decisions were made under a torrent of conservative criticism, from Trump himself, who called the Clinton email inquiry “rigged,” and from the conservative press, which speculated that the Bureau was deliberately going easy on Clinton.

LOL
Tell Hillary the waaaambulance is on its way.
Hillary Clinton is the only presidential candidate to ever have been under TWO SEPARATE FBI Investigations.
And that cannot be blamed on the FBI.
In other words, FBI leadership was desperate for Hillary to win but they botched the operation like they do with all other active engagements.
Lock her up.
Obama got way more help than Trump from the illegal voters.
Obama got a free pass on the required background check.
I don’t believe it. No one changed their vote from Hillary to Trump because this.
Maybe not. But a butt-load of Never Trumpers did climb down from the fence and voted for Trump.
That - as they say - was that.
The Atlantic is a radical far leftist piece of trash.
If you search, “doj told fbi to stand down” on bing, you get 3,190,000 results. So, yeah...
Well, it may be true... ...in a way.
If the FBI had not tried to help get Hillary Clinton elected, she might have beaten Donald Trump.
I think the final straw that finished Hillary Clinton’s campaign was the revelation about Huma Abedin’s husband Anthony Weiner being heavily involved in the private e-mail server scandal. Given Weiner’s very sordid past even back in 2016, it couldn’t have been worse news for the Clinton campaign.
Law enforcement investigating a criminal doing criminal acts is not “help” for someone else. It is the reason why law enforcement exists. Comey’s actions rendered the FBI irrelevant.
Yeah...Hillary’s one day a week campaigning and stumbling around, not even going to several states, and rambling talk when she did speak had nothing to do with her losing...
Dearest atlantic morons: The criminal chronic liar lost because she is a criminal chronic liar. Are you at the atlantic lunatics???
Nobody had anything to do with Hillary losing but herself.
