Now we know: Bill Clinton cost his wife the presidency

So now it can be told: Bill Clinton cost his wife the presidency.

Almost three hours into a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey shed new light on his decision to go public about his agency’s investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails, first in July 2016 and again, with devastating effect, in late October, 11 days before the election.

The specific reason he cited: Bill Clinton’s decision to board Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s plane in late June, when their planes were both on a tarmac in Phoenix. “The capper was — and I’m not picking on Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who I like very much — but her meeting with President Clinton on that airplane was the capper for me,” Comey said. Comey decided to “step away” and announce, without consulting the Justice Department, that Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be charged.

Does anyone else feel like they will still be talking about “what cost Hillary the election?” and be no closer to the truth in the year 2027?

Get over it already.

I don’t think people like her. Hope she runs again.

Sounds like the Compost wants us to believe that BillyBob and the AG really *did* talk about grandkids.

And nothing *but* grandkids.

But how did he get to write all new law where people looked for intent for Hillary?

No one else needed to have intent and are in jail. Even Scooter Libby went to jail for ticky-tack tactics under oath.

Where is the equal justice under the law.

This guy is crooked, I believe he wants to string the Trump investigation out until the statutes expire on Hillary, so Trump would have to look bad removing him while being investigated.

Nope, it was that nobody wanted a batty old grandma corrupt criminal who came into politics broke, traded on her husbands name, and grabbed 250 million in dirty money.

They’ll still be talking about this when upon telling the story to a grandchild or great-grandchild, the first response of the child will be “What’s an airplane?”

“The ashtrays and lamps are flying tonight in the Clinton home”.

Yes, if Bill is home. I’d bet he stays away from her as much as possible. Right now he’s probably taking some Viagra.

No, it has nothing to do with her being a washed up, hippie freak, control freak, militant elitist lesbian backstabbing lying hag.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that he also came out three days before the election and exonerated her.

and announce, without consulting the Justice Department, that Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be charged

So, being let off the hook for her many crimes is what made her lose the election? Interesting logic.

My guess is the DIMS will be talking about “what cost Hilliary the election” until the end of time.

This article and the content it describes is so astonishingly ludicrous, I'm embarrassed for all concerned—Comey, the Clintons, Dana Milbank and the entire Bezoshington Post. It's rare that progressives' cornered-starving-animal-emotions-that-substitute-for-reason cause me to feel even a trace of pity rather than disgust, loathing and contempt; but this article is an outpouring of desperation so bizarre, so primitive, that even I am moved to alarm. Someone, please, put these people on suicide watch.

“The capper was — and I’m not picking on Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who I like very much — but her meeting with President Clinton on that airplane was the capper for me,” Comey said. Comey decided to “step away” and announce, without consulting the Justice Department, that Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be charged.

So Bill being caught red-handed colluding with Lynch to obstruct justice in the server case, convinced Comey that he should hurry up and NOT CHARGE HILLARY?

Comey makes Samuel Beckett seem like Spock.
