Clinton blames Comey letters for stopping her momentum and turning out Trump voters
McCatchy DC ^ | November 12, 2016 | Anne Gearan, The Washington Post

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....

She was already losing BEFORE the FBI reopened the investigation..she was going down in the flames and EVERYONE knew it..that is why the media came out with the phony Clinton up 12 points polls..remember those..did those turn out to be a GIANT LOL..even when the NBC Access Hollywood tape came out the LA Times poll still showed Trump ahead..Trump was ALWAYS ahead in the polls even though the corrupt DNC media refused to admit that

But you know what? This is fine. Let them think they were just perfectly aligned with the voters, had the right message, and the most ideal candidate of all time, and were just screwed by some meanie at FBI.

Because I really really hope the DNC doubles-down on stupid, as it seems they are aiming to do by bringing in the muslim nutjub as chairman.

When your enemy is on fire, don’t tell them where the water is.

In her own words, "What difference, at this point, does it make. . . ?"

- Her weakness and personal cowardice in refusing to face and acknowledge her hard-working supporters immediately on Tuesday;

- her arrogance in underestimating misunderstanding the power of "the People" by pre=planning a lavish and gawdy fireworks display and "glass ceiling" celebration;

- and her absolute insensitivity to the deeply-held principles and ideas cherished by citizens from their understanding of history and America's Constitution--all of these are evidences that this person was and is unqualified for the Presidency of this Republic.

Lady...the bottom line is that had you done your business as Suck-u-tary of State on government servers you wouldn’t have been in that position.

You have nobody to blame but yourself, now STFU and go away.

Always someone else’s fault with the Clintons.

ALWAYS.

Exactly.

Secretary Clinton made a conscious choice to use a private email server so that she could continue selling U.S. foreign policy and using her family's charitable foundation as a slush fund.

It's the FBI's fault for looking into it.

The last was a blip for her supporters and may very well have driven more of them to vote...

Funny stuff. Comey tries to help Hillary, and she blames him.

Hereabouts, at least, the revelations of paedophilia and witchcraft brought out big lot of evengelicals who were otherwise inclined to stay home. They were not acting on mere accusation but rather on the credibility of the emails. They are credible because the principals, who have always been quick to deny anything unfavorable remained mute about the substance of the emails. I heard that discussed a lot. Some local preachers discussed that. A lot of those people voted who were not inclined to before it. Admittedly this is NW Florida and it probably made no difference in the outcome but if that reaction was common across the country then it could have provided the winning margin.

She needs to look in the mirror for the one to blame. Comey wasn’t the one who used an unsecure server and sent out classified emails to everyone and their cousin.

Blame Comey? How about blaming Weiner and your own slopping document handling procedures?

Hil, you were too lazy and too special to follow normal handling for secure documents. And, your trusted aide, Secret Agent Huma, was too dense to keep it from her beard husband, who YOU FIXED HER UP with.

No, it’s Comey’s fault. /S

Clinton would blame the Easter Bunny and its not even close to Easter yet. She is the victim of her own evilness.
