New York (CNN) Hillary Clinton delivered her most forceful critique of President Donald Trump's 2016 victory on Tuesday, taking personal responsibility for her failed campaign but also pointed to the timing of a letter from FBI Director James Comey and Russian interference as factors.
"If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president," she told CNN's Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women International event in New York.
"I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate, I was the person who was on the ballot. I am very aware of the challenges, the problems, the shortfalls that we had," Clinton said, before adding that she was "on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off."
Clinton, who is currently writing a book that partly reflects on her 2016 loss, added, "The reason I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days."
The event marks the latest where Clinton, in a stinging rebuke to Trump, both blames herself for the 2016 loss but also casts the current President as someone aided by outside factors, including the Russian government.
After Clinton noted the 3 million more votes she won than Trump, Amanpour joked that the President would soon tweet about the comment.
"Fine. Better than the interfering in foreign affairs," Clinton said. "If he wants to tweet about me than I am happy to be the diversion because we have lot of things to worry about. He should worry less about the election and my winning the popular vote than doing some other things that would be important for the country."

Nixon wasn't impeached. He, unlike Hillary's millstone Bill, did the right thing and resigned.
She meant Oct 31.
Add to your comments...no one, woman or man, equipped with half a functioning brain is listening or cares one hoot about Hillary Clinton!!!

That and five bucks will buy you a Starbucks coffee, but it sure won't keep your foundation open.

If wishes were fishes... it makes me believe owners of her going crazy and crying and blaming Comet on election night.
Not sure why she’s unhappy. The Democrats are getting all they want, while denying the winners our spoils.
Oh yeah—she had a list of patriots she wanted to persecute and ruin as well using government agencies as tools.
Most of those 3 million votes came from NYC and LA, exactly why we have the EC, so all areas of the country have a say.
