Clinton:Nate Silver believes & I happen to believe-That FBI letter most likely made the difference

Mrs. Clinton said the letter Mr. Comey released disclosing new questions about emails handled by her private server had cost her close races in several battleground states. “Swing-state voters made their decisions in the final days breaking against me because of the F.B.I. letter from Director Comey,” she said.

The Russians, she said, sought to “undermine our democracy” through cyberattacks on Democratic targets. She said the hacking into the Democratic National Committee and into the emails of her campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, were a result of Mr. Putin’s “personal beef” against her, pointing to her accusation that Russia’s 2011 parliamentary elections were rigged.

“Putin publicly blamed me for the outpouring of outrage by his own people, and that is the direct line between what he said back then and what he did in this election,” Mrs. Clinton said.

“Make no mistake, as the press is finally catching up to the facts, which we desperately tried to present to them during the last months of the campaign,” Mrs. Clinton told the group, which collectively poured roughly $1 billion into her effort. “This is not just an attack on me and my campaign, although that may have added fuel to it. This is an attack against our country. We are well beyond normal political concerns here. This is about the integrity of our democracy and the security of our nation.”

1. The Comey letter was about the emails found on Weiner's PC - not anything to do with Russians

According to Clinton, her email server, that was used while she was Secretary of State, was never hacked nor compromised by anyone, including the Russians. The "reopening" of the investigation related to whether all emails had been turned over and whether any on the Weiner coomputer were classified, not whether the Russians had obtained or released any of them.

The spear-fishing of John Podesta and other campaign officials, the hacking of the DNC by the Russians, and the release of those emails by wikileaks is a separate matter.
