Hear that sound? That's the drumbeat of Democrats desperately trying to sell (and cling to) the narrative that Hillary Clinton's loss wasn't her fault. Sometimes it's Russia's fault, sometimes it's the fault of hateful men who despise women, and sometimes it's the fault of that dastardly Vladimir Putin. Today, in D.C., it's James Comey's fault.
Hillary Clinton had an illegal email server, was mishandling classified material, and, somehow, a whole bunch of these secret communications wound up on Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner's computer
The story goes like this: Hillary Clinton had an illegal email server, was mishandling classified material, and, somehow, a whole bunch of these secret communications wound up on Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner's computer. The narrative states that Hillary would have been victorious, if only voters knew as little as possible about the way she ignored laws and regulations, so you weren't supposed to know about her transgressions. When James Comey told everyone that he was re-opening the investigation into Clinton's glaring, ongoing, malfeasance, he really hurt her.
As always, Hillary's actions were not the cause of her downfall. The collapse stemmed from you knowing about her actions.
To sell that concept, Dianne Feinsten today pressed James Comey about his decision to notify Congress of his re-opened investigation. She has a death-grip on the official, Democrat-friendly, version of events and she never abandons the narrative. Still, when she asks her loaded question, the intensity and clarity of Comey's answer was probably not what she was hoping to hear.
This did not go well for her...
