Clinton tells fundraisers FBI Comey letter sank presidential bid

Hillary Clinton has offered a couple of private but candid explanations about why she lost her White House bid, telling high-dollar fundraisers Saturday that FBI announcements about a second probe into her emails from her time as secretary of state were too damaging.

Clinton said, "Our analysis is that Comey’s letter raised doubts that were groundless and baseless..." and "stopped our momentum," a DNC fundraising source who was on the call told Fox News.

Clinton made the remark on a roughly 30-minute conference call with Democrats who raised more than $100,000, according to Politico.

The former State Department leader lost in a surprising defeat to Republican nominee Donald Trump -- a first-time candidate who essentially trailed in almost every major poll for the entire campaign.

FBI Director James Comey told Congress in an Oct. 30 letter that the agency was looking at emails found in an unrelated case that could be related to a closed FBI case specifically about the Clinton emails.

Clinton suggested her campaign’s internal poll numbers plunged after the letter but nevertheless rebounded, a person on the Saturday call told Politico.

However, she said the second Comey letter, three days before Election Day, saying that she had essentially been cleared in the unrelated case, awakened Trump voters.

The FBI investigated Clinton using a private email server system while secretary of state. Comey said some of the emails included classified information and that she was “extremely careless” in her action. But he concluded the case in July without recommending criminal charges.

Clinton on Thursday told her campaign staff that she had “stepped in it” by saying half of Trump’s supporters were “deplorables,” according to The New York Times.

She and her campaign essentially defended the remark by saying she regretted saying “half” of the supporters were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic" people.

Doesn't mean she's more popular. 57% of the country voted. 43% didn't. She won by 200k votes... and around 175 million didn't vote.

I think the margin for error eclipses 200k. Plus... how many of her votes were voter fraud? Gonz

Are you that naive? The press wanted her to win. The media is in the bag. THAT is why 'they' don't bring it up. THAT is why they kept leading with so many negative Trump stories... but it all backfired on them.

I'm not happy with the Trump win. I'm fucking ecstatic that Clinton lost.

We, as a people, are starting to remember that we rule this country.

I didn't just mean the American media I meant any of the media. The only one I saw that had anything in depth was al jazera .

I guess the media has learned if you repeat it enough someone will believe it .



Yes I am that native .

Maybe she would understand if she had a few years sequestered alone to think about it.

Shillery will just have to be happy with the swag she plundered from the White House during her first exit.
No more free plates and silverware.

I've heard that before.

I think it must be true.
