Clinton blames Comey for loss

Posted by | November 12, 2016 17:15 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

He did break protocol and interfere with the election.

In her most extensive remarks since she conceded the race to Donald J. Trump early Wednesday, Mrs. Clinton told donors on a 30-minute conference call that Mr. Comey’s decision to send a letter to Congress about the inquiry 11 days before Election Day had thrust the controversy back into the news and had prevented her from ending the campaign with an optimistic closing argument.

“There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful,” Mrs. Clinton said, according to a donor who relayed the remarks. But, she added, “our analysis is that Comey’s letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum.”

Mrs. Clinton said a second letter from Mr. Comey, clearing her once again, which came two days before Election Day, had been even more damaging. In that letter, Mr. Comey said an examination of a new trove of emails, which had been found on the computer of Anthony D. Weiner, the estranged husband of one of her top aides, did not cause him to change his earlier conclusion that Mrs. Clinton should face no charges over her handling of classified information.

Her campaign said the seemingly positive outcome had only hurt it with voters who did not trust Mrs. Clinton and were receptive to Mr. Trump’s claims of a “rigged system.” In particular, white suburban women who had been on the fence were reminded of the email imbroglio and broke decidedly in Mr. Trump’s favor, aides said.

    (R) Comey violated the Hatch Act. Even GWB43’s Ethics Lawyer filed suit!
    “did not cause him to change his earlier conclusion that Mrs. Clinton should face no charges over her handling of classified information.”

        Your sad trombone is coming…
        When trump doesn’t “build a wall”, Repel Obamacare”, “deport 11 million illegals”, “put Hillary in prison”, “bring back the coal and steel industry”, bring back jobs from China” or any of the other myriad of lies he told you…
        And you fell for everyone of them…
        The Sad Trombone plays for you….Sucker~!

    Yes, bleaching 33k in emails and Wiki had NOTHING to do with it…

    • Obewon November 12th, 2016 at 21:01

      Even dumb people like you should accurately read: ‘No new work related emails’-Comey. And ‘The only new emails were not work related’-Comey dry humped GOP dummies. Proved ‘all work related emails were voluntarily submitted by HRC’.

    • whatthe46 November 12th, 2016 at 21:13

      the fact that you somehow convinced yourself into believing the b.s. email crap is quite telling that you don’t give a damn about honesty, let alone integrity. tRump has been accused of raping a child, admitted to sexually assaulting women, is going to trial for racketeering and fraud for a fake U scam, his foundation is a fraud and under FED investigation, he stiff’s hard working people by not paying them for the work done, he admitted to walking in on girls as young as 15 while naked and that’s not even the beginning of the sh!t he HAS done and accused of doing. but, emails. oh and don’t forget he was ordered by the court to turn over thousands of emails that he got rid of on purpose. so, take your phony outrage and shove it.

      42 previous presidents including hillary posted their taxes I guess trump didn’t file any according to his website.

    Comey tossed a live grenade into the election process … and then a week later uttered “oops!”

  4. IMHO November 12th, 2016 at 21:44

    Typical Clinton. Blame anyone but the person in the mirror.

    The reason she lost is Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio. They all voted for Obama, and voted Sanders in the primary, but preferred Trump to Clinton.

    If you want a reason as to why the election was lost, I suggest a thorough examination of what exactly went on in the minds of the voters in that region.

    • whatthe46 November 12th, 2016 at 22:42

      typical poorly educated tRump minions. Clinton won by more than 2mil+ of the popular votes. this game isn’t over. and it’s always nice to know assholes like you are pro-rape, pro-sexual assault, pro-fraud, pro-scam, pro-racism, etc., etc. you bastards should wear a shoulder band so women know when to cross the street when you pass by.

      • IMHO November 12th, 2016 at 22:44

        I’m not a “Trump minion”, I’m very much a democrat who was a Sanders guy.

        • whatthe46 November 12th, 2016 at 22:46

          and if you didn’t vote for Hillary, you voted for tRump. blame yourself for this sh!t storm and again, wear a band so we know who to avoid.

          • IMHO November 12th, 2016 at 22:49

            Calling me names like that is only guaranteeing more failure. Instead of calling me names, and calling the voters in Wisconsin/Mich/Penn names, you need to engage.

            Hillary Clinton is a socially liberal neocon. Not acceptible anymore, apparently the folks in Mich/Wisc/Penn agree.

            • whatthe46 November 12th, 2016 at 22:55

              she won the popular vote by 2+mil so evidently she’s acceptable. she’s the only candidate that’s truly eligible to run this country. you own this mess. along with the gerrymandering, and voter suppression by RWNJ’s that don’t want our voices to be heard. well, they all have blood on their hands. there have been murders, physical assaults, verbal assaults and intimidation in his name. i have every right to be pissed off. children are afraid to go to school, women are being groped by strangers on air planes because you didn’t speak up for them.

              • Jock E Shift November 13th, 2016 at 17:25

                Two mil +? It’s only 631,000 as of yesterday. Google it.

                • whatthe46 November 14th, 2016 at 00:59

                  it went up and they are still counting. meaning, the majority of the people in this country said NO to tRump. he did NOT win with the people.

            • whatthe46 November 12th, 2016 at 22:56

              by the way, since you didn’t vote with the majority, you don’t have the right to complain about the outcome.

        • robert November 13th, 2016 at 05:22

          i dont need a video I need to know why over 50% of the nation didn’t vote ? what we need is a remote voting system like an AP for smart phones.

  5. whatthe46 November 12th, 2016 at 22:43

    yet again, we have ignorant women who vote against their own best interest.

    Comey is 100% at fault for tilting the election to Rump. Obama should fire his sorry a**. This was the Repulsives plan all along…E-MAILS….E-MAILS…E-MAILS……

    • IMHO November 12th, 2016 at 22:54

      None of this would have happened if HRC wasn’t so remiss in handling her documents. It just highlighted just how creepy her obsession with privacy and secrecy is.

      And thanks to this, nominating such a poor candidate, and keeping any other legitimate candidates from running in order to clear the way for her royal highness Clinton, we now are stuck with President Donald Trump.

      Well done, DNC. You should all be cleared out and replaced with non-corporate, non-Wall Street parasite enablers.

    Clinton took for granted the people Trump appealed to, and went after the minorities, who leaned her way anyway after Trump bashed them. She stonewalled the emails and never moved on.
    Shw also was never able to recover from decades of opposition sniping at her and Bill’s perceived mistakes.
    All in all, a perfect storm of an impossible situation. Comey? The cherry on the whipped cream.
