US election: Hillary Clinton blames FBI director James Comey for election loss in call to donors

Hillary Clinton has blamed FBI director James Comey for her stunning defeat in Tuesday's presidential election in a conference call with her top campaign funders, according to two participants involved in the phone hook-up. Key points:

Mrs Clinton says James Comey's letter raising doubts were "groundless, baseless" and "stopped our momentum"
Second email probe announced and then finalised days before the election
Anti-Trump protests continue for a third night in cities across the US

Mrs Clinton was projected by nearly every national public opinion poll as the heavy favourite going into Tuesday's race.
Instead, Republican Donald Trump won the election, shocking many throughout the nation and prompting widespread protests.

Mrs Clinton has kept a low profile since her defeat after delivering her concession speech on Wednesday morning.
On the phone call with supporters on Saturday, the Democrat presidential candidate said her campaign and the national party had raised $US900 million from more than 3 million individual donors, according to the two participants who spoke to Reuters.

Mrs Clinton said Mr Comey was at fault for her loss after he decided to send a letter to Congress only days before the election announcing that he was reinstating an investigation into whether she mishandled classified information when she used a private email server while secretary of state from 2009 to 2012.

She's now sounding very Trumpesque.

She lied several times before Congress and got off.

How many people changed their vote in key states because of Comey's actions a couple days before the election?

Very few, I think.

A huge, partisan blunder. He should resign. He disgraced the FBI.

It was. He should. He did. He won't.

If she hadn't committed numerous crimes! there would have been nothing to investigate!
Comey disgraced the FBI by not prosecuting in the first place!

**wasabi** · 13-11-2016, 02:30 PM

Well you wouldn't have expected her to acknowledge that most Americans just simply hated her.
Typical woman though, blame a man for her failure.

Bollox, the tactics used on Trump failed. The tactics used by Trump worked because she had more shit sticking to her. Thankfully, the majority lost trust based on documents and emails vs hearsay against trump!

I read a well reasoned article a while ago that roughly said he was f*cked either way. If he had NOT announced he was opening the investigation, he could have been accused of covering it up in favour of Hillary, and withholding information (presumably from Congress).

In hindsight (to me) he did the only thing he possibly could. Announced the investigation and then the result of the investigation before polling day.

Whether more mud slug had any real effect on the outcome will never be known.

Where are you getting this 'most Americans' shite? She won the the popular vote by a decent margin and millions didn't vote at all. Millions hate Trump too, probably more than hate Hillary.

You idiot. You investigate before crimes are determined. She was absolved of any wrongdoing regarding her private server and e mails.

Funny how it all turned out..."The best laid plans of mice and men"...Politics does take some unpredictable turns...

a decent margin ? god, how delusional are you ?

she won an extra 200,000 votes, that's 0.2% difference between the candidates, it's so close, it's not even decent in anything

what a dishonest little man you make Humbert, hardly surprising after all

Well she wasn't. She did, however, avoid criminal charges.

By the time all the ballots are counted, she seems likely to be ahead by more than 2 million votes and more than 1.5 percentage points, according to my Times colleague Nate Cohn. She will have won by a wider percentage margin than not only Al Gore in 2000 but also Richard Nixon in 1968 and John F. Kennedy in 1960.

Quibbling about a perfectly appropriate adjective when you called Trump's win a landslide. Talk about hyperbole.

**buriramboy** · 13-11-2016, 04:29 PM

I see the poor little snowflakes now have something else to blame their loss on, should keep the Soros funded protests going on a bit longer then.

Criminal or careless? She was not charged with or found guilty of a crime therefore she doesn't fit the legal description of 'criminal'.

But not Carter 2.0, and Bush 2.4, and Obama 3.8, and Truman 4.8

Ahhh... statistics are great when they are useless.

Scapegoats? That's all we've hearing from you poor little snowflakes since the election. All the daily abuse you and that other moronic retard bsnub used to dish out daily to everyone who didn't share your own biased warped twisted ĺove struck views on Clinton and now you cry and complain like the true snowflakes you are.
