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.”

Her body may survive longer than that but I don’t think her mind is going to last two more years.
Bullsschit...
It was calling half the country a “Basket of Deplorables” that finished her AND the Democrats, nationwide.
Up until that point, Trump support was fractured. That statement PO’d so many people that it galvanized his base, and showed millions just how damn arrogant these people really are.
Note to Hillary Clinton:
No Hillary, you lost because right thinking, patriotic, America loving voters hate you. Hate you more than the devil himself. You are lower than dirt, you are scum. You and Obama. Your husband is a dope, predator. But he didn’t try to destroy America the Beautiful. Hillary you are a sick, twisted, spiteful woman.
I don’t wish your death. I hope you live for a long long time, knowing that you will wake up and go to bed every day for the rest of your life with that gnawing, sick, in the pit of your stomach, never ending feeling, and thought that you lost the election. What you had been working hard for, for the past 30 years. I hope it drives you to insanity and a mental institution. That picture would please me and the rest of the Trumpers. That would be another of our celebration days.
If you believe a second look into an FBI investigation was the reason for her losing, don’t nominate a candidate who was under FBI investigation who had a top aide who’s husband was under FBI investigation and for that aide to have a funny way of of thinking it was reasonable to bring (classified) work home with her. She lost because she was a pathetic candidate and every time she has opened her mouth since the election we get reminded how fortunate we were that she wasn’t elected.
Good one!
Hillary Clinton Ties Loss to Russian Hacking and Comey Letter and where are my strawberries (Audio)
Actual audio excerpt....
Ahh, but the strawberries that’s... that’s where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the state dept icebox DID exist, and I’d have produced that key if they hadn’t of pulled me out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow rats...
The FBI? James Comey kept her out of prison. He went along with the DOJ not using a grand jury, not using search warrants, handing out immunity agreements like candy to her aides and playing along with the “attorney-client” fiction for Cheryl Mills who personally played a role in the email destruction.
Comey only went public with the emails on Weiner’s laptop when there was a revolt in the field office of the FBI and the NYPD. He did his best to save her bacon.
Russia? First-hand Wikileaks sources say the leaker was a disgruntled Dem insider, not Putin.
The blame for using an illegal server, mishandling USGov national secrets, destroying subpoenaed emails, cheating by having debate questions in advance, rigging the primary against Bernie, etc. lies with Hillary, not with those who revealed these facts to the voters.
Talk about unfit for the presidency. Hillary has all the integrity of a two-year-old with cookie crumbs on her face while denying eating a cookie.
“We will never be rid of her.”
Until she dies.
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.
Obama was wrong again. Hillary is not likable enough.
You were bought and paid for...that makes you what??
A political wh***.
OMG hopefully this smacks of desperation as much to other people as it does to us but it’s getting scary how much THOSE CURRENTLY IN POWER are expounding on this.
Her own party is too scared to stand up to her and tell her the truth.
Idiots.
Its like a perpetual Clintontown (Jonestown) They keep drinking the kool-aid. Drink it up.
That’s what she said to her donors at her party. Since she has two different takes on everything, who does she blame when she’s not begging for money?
She’s still holding out for the presidency. I’m serious, she can’t let go. Psychopaths must win at all costs. Once Trump is finally inaugurated, after this EC bullshit, and reality finally sets in, she’ll spiral completely out of control - you haven’t seen anything yet. But, with nothing to live for she’ll be dead by Christmas 2017.
OMG so NOW Hillary's blaming the press? What a hoot. The only thing the press can be blamed for is passing out because they spent so much time kissing Hillary's butt.
The public wants to know..
The public has a right to know...
RUN A POLL - - FIND OUT: HOW MANY CITIZENS KNEW CNN GAVE DEBATE QUESTIONS TO HILLARY BEFORE THE DEBATES?
In short, were citizens influenced by the CONTENTS OF THE EMAILS? My guess is 'no'. Do a poll - ask questions. Find out you folks in the MSM who only talk to the person one desk over...

I’m an investment advisor.
If I was sending, storing, recieving client info on a private server, the SEC and FINRA would fine me and possibly revoke my license.
There was only one reason for her to conduct herself the way she did, to operate in an illegal/unethical fashion so her actions would go undetected.
I can only hope there is justice, and she gets what is deserved. If however, she were to kill herself and spare us a national trial, that would be APPRECIATED.
