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.
Forces within the State Department and the media could have cost
Trump’s election.
This dude has a special
seat in hell
Podesta waves his hand ...
“These aren’t the little boys you are looking for!”
What is the common thread? It starts with H and ends in illlary..
Lower-level FBI agents pressuring their Director (because that’s how professional relationships work) elected Trump.
Tim Kaine gave Hillary Virginia, but he also elected Trump.
White women elected Trump.
The Russians elected Trump.
Racists elected Trump.
Sexists elected Trump.
Rural voters elected Trump.
The working class voting against their own interests elected Trump.
Fake news elected Trump.
Facebook elected Trump.
Supermarket tabloids elected Trump.
Celebrity (The Apprentice) elected Trump.
White male resentment elected Trump.
Over-shaming Trump supporters elected Trump.
Rejecting Bernie elected Trump.
Reagan democrats elected Trump.
Gary Johnson and Jill Stein voters elected Trump.
Backlash against political correctness elected Trump.
FBI Director Comey elected Trump.
There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
Excuse number 462.
But Mrs Xlinton tried to get Trump to say he’d never dispute the results of the election and Obama himself said that any suggestion that the election could be thrown is paranoid whining.
Shut up Little John and get out there and look for a real job. Maggot.
Keep talkin, Podester!
Now we’re back to the FBI. What, people weren’t buying that it was the Russians?
Spooks cost Kancles???

If it the Department of Justice’s (0bama secret police) fault Hillary was even allowed to run in the first place instead of sitting in a jail cell where she belongs even to this day.

It’s not about the leaking, it’s about the corruption.
