Hillary Clinton Ties Loss to Russian Hacking and Comey Letter (Audio)
NY Times ^ | DEC. 16, 2016 | AMY CHOZICK

Posted on 12/16/2016 8:55:20 AM PST by Dave346

Hillary Clinton on Thursday night attributed her defeat to a convergence of two “unprecedented” events: the release of a letter by James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, shortly before the election, and what she called an “attack against our country” by the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin.

Mrs. Clinton said the letter Mr. Comey released disclosing new questions about emails handled by her private server had cost her close races in several battleground states. “Swing-state voters made their decisions in the final days breaking against me because of the F.B.I. letter from Director Comey,” she said.

The Russians, she said, sought to “undermine our democracy” through cyberattacks on Democratic targets. She said the hacking into the Democratic National Committee and into the emails of her campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, were a result of Mr. Putin’s “personal beef” against her, pointing to her accusation that Russia’s 2011 parliamentary elections were rigged.

“Putin publicly blamed me for the outpouring of outrage by his own people, and that is the direct line between what he said back then and what he did in this election,” Mrs. Clinton said.

“Make no mistake, as the press is finally catching up to the facts, which we desperately tried to present to them during the last months of the campaign,” Mrs. Clinton told the group, which collectively poured roughly $1 billion into her effort. “This is not just an attack on me and my campaign, although that may have added fuel to it. This is an attack against our country. We are well beyond normal political concerns here. This is about the integrity of our democracy and the security of our nation.”

I fixed the headline.

Hillary Clinton Ties Loss to (Russian Hacking and Comey Letter) Everything except her disdain for half of AMerica, her lies, her mishandling of classified information, her love of illegal immigration and her pedophile husband.

Her campaign was embarrassingly bad. She was a terrible candidate,

But let’s blame other people.

The vast right wing Russians are now after her.

She doesn't get it does she?

Her "hubby" has rejected her in the most intimate way.

She was rejected in 2008 by her own party for the presidency.

She was rejected in 2016 by the country for the presidency.

She's just not likeable.

The woman needs counseling.

You go right on believing that, Democrats. Then you'll never fix your intrinsic problems, and we'll go right on WINNING!

We'll be rid of her in less than a decade. Her health is imploding.

Of course it can’t be because she is an evil loser.

She is “tying” her loss to the massive corruption and electoral shenanigans that were exposed in the Wikileaks Documents and finally to the utter depravity and yet more corruption exposed in the Podesta Papers. I suspect the Pizza Papers had something to do with bringing out a lot of Christians who would otherwise have stayed home. Many Evangelical folks around here say they were not inclined to vote because of Trump’s un Christian-like remarks so long ago but the child trafficking and the Satanism they saw in the Podesta emails convinced them that Trump’s mouth was piddling compared to the Satanic Democrats.
