Hillary Clinton Blames FBI Director, Comey For Election Loss by morereb10: 6:50am On Nov 13, 2016
It is no news now that Donald Trump is the US President-elect. however, his counterpart Hillary Clinton has blamed the FBI's decision to revive an investigation into her email accounts for her devastating defeat in the US presidential election.

In a call on Saturday with top campaign donors, Clinton said her campaign was in the lead until FBI director James Comey sent a letter to Congress on October 28 announcing that the FBI had uncovered emails possibly related to its earlier probe into her use of a private server as secretary of state.

The new examination was sparked by an unrelated investigation into former New York Representative Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of one of her top aides.
US election: How did Hillary Clinton lose?
The surprise announcement by the FBI came after three debates in which president-elect Donald Trump, a Republican, was widely panned for his performance. Clinton told the donors that her campaign was leading by large margins in nearly every battleground state and was tied in Arizona, a traditionally Republican stronghold, until Comey released his letter.
Trump's campaign and Republican supporters seized on the news, even though it was unclear whether Clinton's correspondence was tied up in the probe.
Comey told lawmakers the Sunday before the election that the bureau had found no evidence to warrant criminal charges. His "all clear" message only served to further motivate Trump supporters, Clinton told donors on the call.

In the nine days between Comey's initial statement and his "all clear" announcement, nearly 24 million people cast early ballots. That was roughly 18 percent of the expected total votes for president.

While Clinton accepted some blame of her loss, said donors who listened to her call, she made little mention of the many other factors political analysts saw as driving Trump's victory.

Clinton told her supporters on Saturday that her team had drafted a memo that looked at the changing opinion polls leading up to the election and that the letter from Comey proved to be a turning point.

The memo prepared by Clinton's campaign, a copy of which was seen by the Reuters news agency, said voters who decided which candidate to support in the last week were more likely to support Trump than Clinton.

FBI's announcement did not swing anything favourable in either candidates way...
NBC survey in the field as the story
broke had Mrs Clinton with a six-
point lead before the news and a
six-point lead after the news.

She should accept defeat graciously afterall, she understood how the electoral college system works and should have campaigned harder!

Russia's hacking of DNC documents and James Comey's revelation nine days to election are among the major reasons she lost. The DNC documents showed that the party favored Clinton dearly in expense of Bernie Sanders. When this came to light, a lot of Sanders' supporters refused to join the Clinton camp, they became undecided. Then James Comey came out of nowhere and told the world 9 days to election that the FBI had found other emails relating to the already closed investigation. haba. It was barely 48hrs to election that he said the mails were clones of the ones they have seen. God don write am say na Trump go win sha but Putin and especially Comey fukkked the hell outta Madam Secretary.

Seriously, she has the right to feel cheated. The FBI Director is a registered Republican and he played the game so well. His allegation was made during early voting and 9 days to election. It really swayed votes away from her

Liberals blaming everyone except themselves.. They also blamed Facebook too.. How low can they go?
This is exactly why these nutters lost the election to a man like Trump even with the media & huge cooperation on their side.. They were too compliment & thought it was business as usual, anyone who argues against their point of view is seen as racist, sexist or deplorable.
They just want everyone to fall in line without challenging the status quo, nah it has to stop..

Just read Hillary didn't even prepare a concession speech incase she lost, lol.. Over confidence.. cheesy
