    Clinton tells DNC fundraisers Comey letter sank her 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...

    Will the FBI now be free to investigate Clinton without anyone staring over their shoulder

    One Democrat said there would not have been an investigation if she hadn't used her personal server in the first place.

    Also, will Trump do as he promised and set up a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton ?

    I am starting to lose count of the multiple reasons why Mrs. Clinton lost the election. Too many so far.

    Donald Trump has said a lot of crazy things that it will be hard to follow through on. One of the things that he does represent and which I believe is heartfelt, is a resolve not to get entangled by the political and other elites. That is a difficult course to take because it basically implies a resolve to stay untouchable. Donald Trump the candidate needs to be tamed by the right forces to become a successful president but there are other forces that may be difficult to discern that would like to tame him in a different way and there is betrayal involved. He needs prayer to specifically be able to stay away from that.

    Just like Obama did and every candidate before them. One of Obama's main pledges was more openness in his government, and the exact opposite was true, and he was never really called out on it.

    Things seem to be coming down. From a wall throughout to fences in places. From no obamacare to less obamacare. From deportation of all illegals to some. From the banning of all muslim immigrants to something less than that. And that is before he has even attempted (and hypothetically failed) to make any of that actually happen.

    The big difference is the liberal media will hold Trump's feet to the fire like they never did Obama. And small things will be amplified with big stories.

    But what did Obama backpedal on before he ever became President ? (This is not a rhetorical question as I don't pretend to know all the details about these things)
