Bigger Than Watergate?Legitimate Concerns That Anti-Clinton Faction Within FBI May Have Conspired To

An Outline of What Increasingly Exhibits the Hallmarks of an Election Conspiracy

Unlike the effect of Russian interference on the 2016 presidential campaign, the effect—in votes—of the now-infamous “Comey Letter” is knowable.

While various media outlets downplayed the effect at the time, the hard data is unmistakable: according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll taken immediately after FBI Director Comey’s end-of-October announcement that the FBI would be reviewing additional evidence in the Clinton email-server case, one-third of likely voters reported that the revelation made them “much less likely” to vote for Clinton.

In an election Clinton lost by just 77,143 combined votes in three states—out of well over 136 million votes cast—this sort of polling data is one indication that Comey’s announcement could have cost Clinton millions of votes nationwide. But looking inside the Politico/Morning Consult data, we find much more evidence for that conclusion: specifically, the fact that while 26% of the poll’s 33% figure comes from Trump voters, the remaining 7% comes from those reporting to be Clinton voters.

These left wingers, if they weren’t such lazy people, would scare me.

Yeah, and frankly, we also got lucky with Obama.

I always say, "If Hitler was as lazy as Obama, the 1940's would have been a pretty nice decade."

Okay, and exactly who was responsible for a renewed investigation? Tough to say, isn't it Hillary?

Still wonder why Comey didn't recommend prosecution when the statuate is so clear with NO "intent" clause. Hey Billy, don't you and AG Lynch also wonder why?

“Julian Assange announces that there was never a Russian Connection, after all he would know. He explained that the Leak was a staff person who worked closely with Hillary and has appeared with her in the news. He also said that staffer flew to London and hand delivered the data to him.

So now that the Russian Connection is dead, can we all get on with life and stop listening to the Talking Heads make up BS on the fake news conspiracy that is a complete waste of time?”

interesting description of the leaker.

Laz, I’ve been telling my clients that for years. He spent his first 100 days trying to get the Olympics. He squandered an incredible left wing opportunity. He had the house and senate majorities, got VERY little done. We dodged a bullet!

I don’t care for Obama’s politics, but he got nothing on Hillary, she’s pure evil and corrupt. She would have made us beg for Obama instead.

Think Trump will pursue Olympics his first 100 days? Fat chance, it will be the most ambitious 100 days in Presidential History.

When Comey reopened the email investigation, there was speculation that his hand was being forced by a faction within the FBI or NYPD that threatened to go public with the findings if Comey didn’t act.

So, in that sense, perhaps there is a minuscule kernel of truth in this article.

Personally, I don’t think the Comey thing damaged Clinton as much as the Access Hollywood video damaged Trump.

Also, there was never any “intention” to influence the election.

I think the turning point was when she was shoved into that van...like a side of beef. Blame her Secret Service detail!

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren’t watching them, like Russians will
Now we’ve got all this room, we’ve even got the moon
And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love

It was Barzini all along and his FBI too.
The vast right wing conspiracy and the ship stewards:
strawberries, missing. Trump has them. He must!
And lest we forget the man who made a duplicate key when he stole the cheese: Comey!
Or his sister-biting moose, the squirrel’s accomplice ... double agents for the Russians.

Stolen, stolen from us ... taken by thieves, fat, nasty thieves.
It’s in their pocketses, our Precious. ohhhhhhhh

It’s hard to believe the `rats can’t know how crazy they have been acting these last few weeks. Maybe they aren’t acting.

The common denominator is each time new information was available to voters about Hillary Clinton, voters were less likely to vote for her.

Had the MSM done their job and reported the information, she would not have had a chance and Bernie Sanders would now be president elect.

And I thought what Michelle Malkin wrote in Unhinged: Exposing Democrats Gone Wild was "out there." What that book described is mild compared to 2016 reality....

Let us remember the Left denied and ridiculed all accusations of vote rigging before they lost.
Now they flail and lash out at one thing after another, except the *actual* reason of course.
