WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton is blaming the FBI's decision to revive its examination of her email accounts for her devastating defeat in the presidential election.
On a call Saturday with top campaign donors, Clinton said her campaign was winning until FBI director James Comey sent a letter to Congress on Oct. 28 announcing that the FBI had uncovered emails possibly related to its earlier probe into her use of a private server as secretary of state. The new examination was sparked by an unrelated investigation into former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of one of her top aides.
Clinton told the donors that her campaign was leading by large margins in nearly every battleground state and was tied in Arizona, a traditionally Republican stronghold, until Comey released his letter.
Comey told lawmakers the Sunday before the election that the bureau had found no evidence to warrant criminal charges. His "all clear" message only served to further motivate Trump supporters, Clinton told donors on the call.
In the nine days between Comey's initial statement and his "all clear" announcement, nearly 24 million people cast early ballots. That was roughly 18 percent of the expected total votes for president.
While Clinton accepted some blame of her loss, said donors who listened to her call, she made little mention of the other factors driving Trump's victory: A desire for change by voters, possible sexism, the difficulty of a political party winning a third White House term, her campaign's all-but-dismissal of white working class voters and flaws within her own message.

poor little baby Hillary, its never her fault
It’s not true, but maybe you shouldn’t have put an illegal server in your bathroom. Just a thought.
It’s H->!’s fault for all of her illegal, unethical actions over the last 40 years. Karma, baby...
Yeah yeah yeah.....
The sun was in her eyes.
The refs were against her.
The dog ate her homework.
Yeah yeah yeah....
Actually, Comey was the only reason she was still in the race, should have been indicted first time.
What a classless b***h!
So Comey set up the private server next to her toilet? I didn’t know that.

the criminal liberal media remaining criminal...nothing about immigration which was the biggest driver..
Hillary had a bitter product.
Trump had a better product.
It’s strange that she isn’t blaming Weiner. The nation owes Weiner a great deal. His selfies will be appearing in history books hundreds of years from now.
The GOP hasn't grown by more than 1% in a decade.
69.5m DEM votes for historic Obama '08
65.4m DEM votes for Obama '12
60.5m DEM votes for historic Hillary '16
The Right voted as they had for a decade... but... 5-9 MILLION OBAMA LIBERAL Democrats chose to stay home and not support a woman... or at least, THAT woman.
The Left has only themselves to blame.
“blames FBI director for presidential election loss”
Not true, but Comey was out of a job no matter who won. He tried to straddle the fence so hard that he de-balled himself.
That’s ok Hillary, blame anybody you want.
Club Fed isn’t all that bad.
Hey Hitlery,
You should have been indicted, so SHUT UP.
She’s afraid to blame Weiner. Huma might cut her off. Then who will massage her cankles?
Democrats never take responsibility when things the do go bad. Just a fact of life. Always has been. Always will be.
She was a totally unappealing candidate. She spent very little time actually trying to win votes. She acted as though it was in the bag from the beginning.
Add that with her criminal behavior over the years and she was a hot mess.
