Complete Headline: Harry Reid claims 'partisan' Comey 'ignored' reports of Russian meddling and 'single-handedly' cost Clinton the election

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid repeated his insistence that Hillary Clinton would have been president and the Democrats would have a majority in the Senate had it not been for the 'partisan' actions of FBI Director James Comey.

[Snip]

'It's obvious he was a partisan in all this,' Reid told CNN. 'There's information out there. He had it, I'm confident. And he ignored it.'

'In fact, to show how awful this situation is, this man ignored precedent that had been going on for decade after decade after decade,' Reid said.

'The FBI does not get involved in politics - except Comey did,' Reid said.

So now the Rats are happy the CIA is involved in politics. Seems much worse than the FBI getting involved.

Ah, Harry, you had your “big lie”. Remember, “Romney paid no taxes”?

Well, this time WE WON. Sayonara, loser!

Dear Harry, you are once again wrong. Seems to be the repeating theme in your life The Undisputed Facts

1. The CIA claims Russia hacked the DNC and Podesta emails and fed them to Assange, perhaps in an attempt to influence the election. Russia and Assange both deny it.

2. The FBI says there’s not enough evidence to support the CIA’s opinion.

3. Both Democrats and Republicans are calling for an investigation to determine who hacked the emails.

4. No one claims Russia somehow hacked voting machines or changed the election day voting results. Obama says: “We stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people. The federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on election day. We believe our elections were free and fair.”

Yes, Harry... we’re sure of it, because...

1. The Russians told Hillary to assume Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to be slam-dunk wins during the campaign, while engaging in ill-advised fantasies about capturing red states.

2. The Russians persuaded Hillary to demonize and alienate half the electorate as “deplorable” and “irredeemable.”

3. The Russians told Hillary not to use a Secure Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNet) account while SecState, and to instead use an unsecured server at her house in Chappaqua.

4. The Russians told her to lie about the cause to the faces of the families of the four Americans killed in the terror attacks in Benghazi.

5. The Russians persuaded her to run without a single discernible accomplishment to her name.

6. The Russians cajoled her into engaging in illegal “pay for play” schemes involving the Clinton Foundation and foreign figures wanting special access to the Obama administration.

If the emails had no evidence of criminal behaviour by the Clinton crime family they would has had no effect. The incredible depth of the corruption had a great effect.

To blame Hillery’s loss on the Hackers is like blaming the police when they arrest a bank robber. If Russia was behind the hackers, we owe them thanks.

In fact it is very unlikely that Russia would have helped Trump, they would have helped Hillery to weaken America further. Russia is NOT on our side.

So democrats are now opposed to foreigners trying to influence elections?

As I recall,not to long ago a certain president traveled to the UK and in the midst of Brexit, their biggest election, urged voters to Remain.

He even threatened that they’d be at the end of the queue with the US if Breitling passed...

How is this not worse than anything the hackers did?

Although I voted for Nixon all three times he ran, the election which selected the Trump Electors to be appointed by Pennsylvania is actually the first presidential election in which my vote mattered. If you live in NYS for four decades, you don’t elect many Electors - and if you do, it’s a Reagan landslide in which even your state’s Electoral votes don’t really matter.

It’s why your lying, cheating, stealing, arrogant, contemptuous candidate lost, Harry - she needed Pennsylvania’s EVs and my vote mattered.
