Wasserman Schultz: Former FBI Director Comey shares blame for Hillary Clinton loss
Sun Sentinel ^ | April 17, 2018 | by Anthony Man

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz believes that the way James Comey handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails was a factor in Donald Trump winning the presidency.

“Doing what he did 11 days before the election was inappropriate and definitely violative of longstanding FBI practice,” Wasserman Schultz said, adding that she couldn’t predict the extent of the impact or whether it cost Clinton the election.

But, she said, it had a negative impact.

“I don’t see how it couldn’t have. I don’t see how that announcement, him coming out again and saying what he said that close to the election, I don’t see how it didn’t have an effect,” Wasserman Schultz said Monday during an exchange with reporters in her district office in Sunrise.

But, she added, “there are a lot of things that cost Hillary Clinton the election.”

I share blame for Hillary’s loss too. I voted for Trump. Proudly, I might add.

But it was okay for Lil Debbie, Hilldog, and Donna’s Brassiere to politically sodomize Comrade Bernie in the primaries. Oh...okay....

Blood in the water, Comey old son.

Bwhahahahah.

Bet it had no impact at all. She just did a lousy job campaigning on Obama's back....Blacks, Latinos and Dem loyalists.

Whoops...'cept she forgot the workers.

Comey should ask “hey who decided to store state department emails on Anthony Weiners laptop? Did they know he was under NYPD investigation for sex crimes” It’s like a criminal blaming the cops for getting caught.

It is so odd, I think, that I and all other 80 some-number of people voted for Trump and not one of us uttered a word about Comey and the Hil-liar-ry. It was only about how disgusted we were (and still are) with the stories the Democrats persist in repeating. So, no Comey got not blame from us...we already knew he was a dirt bag. Its Hil-liar-ry walking around free that gets our collective goats.

This requires that we by Comey's preposterous account, which NO ONE should do. James "Jimmy The Weasel" Comey was a fixer for the Clintons throughout his entire career.

In the instant case, these are the facts:

  1. FACT: Weiner was arrested by the NYPD Special Investigations Unit.
  2. FACT: In the course of a voluntary search of his residence and devices, NYPD discovered tens of thousands of State Department emails
  3. FACT: NYPD alerted the FBI.
  4. FACT: Under the pretext that a minor girl in NC was involved in some of Weiner's texts, FBI asserted Federal precedence, and took over the investigation.
  5. FACT: Comey and McCabe never planned to make the contents of Abedin/Weiner laptop public. NEVER.
  6. FACT: Comey and McCabe kept the laptop secret for at least five weeks, and during that time made no attempt to determine the nature of the additional classified material it contained.
  7. FACT: Weiner's arrest became public knowledge, because NY office of the FBI couldn't understand the stonewalling, as did stories from NYPD revealing what they found. Rudy alluded to them on FNC. FBI had no choice but to publicly acknowledge.
  8. FACT: Because of a prior agreement w/ Congress, Comey then had no choice but to send a referral letter; it would have come out with or without his second sham "investigation."
  9. FACT: The FBI "examined" tens of thousands of emails in just a few days, a process that took them MONTHS with previous tranches.
  10. FACT: Comey "exonerated" Clinton, yet again, during the critical 72 hours before the election.
  11. FACT: To this day, Huma Abedin has not been charged with crimes related to her possession of this material, despite the fact that possession of these documents after she claimed all relevant devices had been surrendered to the FBI constitutes a violation of her immunity deal, and requires the case against her to be reopened.

Comey got Clinton her best possible outcome, and it was based on a calculation of his own exposure and the exposure of his seditious co-conspirators in the "small group" which had nothing to with making sure she'd be "legitimate" after the election.

Comey's latest lie is nothing more than a story designed to get him off the hook while maintaining the Democrat fiction that Hillary "should have" won.

She was cleared twice by Comey. Don't ever forget that fact.

Studies have proven that Comey’s announcement had no statistical impact on the election.

No, the reason is that Hillary is, was, and will always be a Crappy candidate. She was waiting for a coronation without realizing that we don’t have “royalty” in the US.

She’s still waiting for that coronation, and I believe is setting up for another run at the Oval Office. Except this time she won’t get past the primaries......Hillary is a LOSER period.

LOL
