Hillary Clinton on Saturday cast blame for her surprise election loss on the announcement by the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, days before the election that he had revived the inquiry into her use of a private email server.
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.

The woman has never made a mistake in her entire life.
Poor Granny Pickles!
Keep pokin’ The Bear, you dumb@ss!
Lock her up
So ... was it the FBI director who committed treason?
Blame yourself for wanting to continue bammy’s policies. Plus you’re a whining opportunistic b!tch.
Embrace the SUCK, Hilliary....your SCREECHING reminded every man of their first WIFE!
Nope.
Secretary Clinton made a conscious choice to use a private email server so that she could continue selling U.S. foreign policy and using her family's charitable foundation as a slush fund.
It's the FBI's fault for looking into it.
And in a very similar manner, Dillinger blamed the FBI for his troubles.
Thank Weiner and his phone too.
Winners govern,
Losers whine.
Does it matter...she lost...tell her to cal Harry reid...”Romney tax non-payment?” ...he then admitted he lied on the floor of the senate but said it was ok because they won....I’m sure their are some FBI agents who take the oath seriously. All enemies both foreign an
d domestic!
Stupid FBI wouldn’t get in line with the News Media and Social Media to cover up her corruption.
Suck my Clint Eastwood Hillary
I guess it had nothing to do with Project Veritas then...
Or Wikileaks...
Or locking up stiff as a board on 9/11...
Or cheating in the debates...
Or paying degenerates to bear false witness...
Or NAPPING during MOST of the campaign season while all of your cronies were out there talking to puny crowds...!
Yeah... ALL Comey’s fault... Make sure you tell him that in the BIG HOUSE!!!
She is the one who decided to use a private server to avoid FOIA requests, and to hide her illegal activity on behalf of the Clinton Foundation while Sec of State. It wasn’t Comey, or Trump or anyone else who broke the law it was her, and she is to blame for her loss of the election. Of course, the media crowing for weeks about how Clinton had the election in the bag may have lulled some democrats into such a state that they didn’t think it necessary to go out and vote for someone they really didn’t like or have much enthusiasm for in the first place.
So she's broken the glass ceiling twice now....as a loser!!
I’ve no doubt.
But the root cause is Hillary. Comey didn’t make her set up a rogue email server that passed classified information back and forth between players and then tried to hide it by destroying subpoenaed documents.
The root cause may even go deeper with Hillary. I wonder if Louis Freeh’s near fatal accident in 2014 had anything to do with it.
Chickens do eventually come home to roost.
Maybe she shouldn’t have broken so many laws?
