FBI's decision to reopen Clinton email probe enabled Donald Trump to win election, says former aide Corey Lewandowski

Corey Lewandowski, who is expected to be offered a key position in the Trump administration, described the move as "amazing" and said it gave the Republican candidate the "spring in his step" he needed to win the race.

"With eleven days to go, something amazing happened," Mr Lewandowski said in a speech at the Oxford Union debating society on Wednesday evening."The FBI's director James [Comey] came out on a Friday and he said they may be reopening the investigation into Crooked Hillary's emails."What that did was remind people that there are two different rules in Washington - those of the elites, and the privileged and those for everybody else."When Comey moved forward with that investigation... it allowed the campaign a little spring in their step, and for them to redouble their efforts."

1. Of course it did. In fact I stated that right after the wonder progressive MSNBC started to spew

the lie as "breaking news, that the FBI had reopened the email investigation", but there were many more people, and media outlets who deserve credit for trump.

11 days before the election, Comey went to the republicans in Congress with a vauge letter saying they were going to look at Weiner's computer, which they had for over a month, to see if there were "email issues". The republicans immediately grabbed that, and said the email investigation was being "reopened". It was a blatant LIE. MSNBC was the first cable/satellite network to headline their breaking new that "Hillary's email investigation reopened". MSNBC then proceeded to interview every right wing republican they could find, who continued to propagate the lie that the "investigation was being reopened". Soon, the other networks followed with the same LIE, that the "email investigation had been reopened". This went on for a few days, but the damage that was done was severe. A few days later as things begin to quiet down, Fox news bret baier reported from his sources in the FBI, an indictment was pending because of the "Clinton Foundation". That story was spewed all of Facebook and google news, (more on their part later). Two days later bret baier came out and said he was mistaken about a pending "indictment", and he apologized for the error. Good ole Rachel Maddow, was so taken by bret baier's apology, that on her show she jumped right to his defense saying what a terrific reporter he was for admitting a mistake. Of course that didn't stop fox news, or the trump campaign from continuing to spew the lie.

While all this was going on, the wonderful social networks such as Facebook, and search engine enterprises such as Google, were buy opening their flood gates to let the fake news right wing purveyors sell their bill of goods.

and that was what was happening in the last two weeks before the election, but the fake news, and distorted and shabby reporting by the MSM was going on long before that. WMDs anyone?

On top of that there were at least 10%, and by some estimates up to 50% of Sanders supporters who refused to vote for Hillary..

So it was these ndependent forces, the media, the social network's "fake news" where up to 45% adults get their news from, the republicans, the FBI, the third party voters, and those Sanders supporters who refused to vote for Hillary who gave us trump on a silver platter.

3. et tu, brute?

Rachel Maddow is going to have to work very hard, harder than I think she can, to ever earn my viewership again. I couldn't have been more disappointed in anyone than I was with her.

14. no one's perfect but ---I agree Rachel's lovefest over Bret Baer's admission of bogus reporting

is worthy of a smackdown. OTOH, I'll continue watching her as she's (usually) great

2. Who in their right mind doesn't think Comey threw the election to that bigot tRump?!

16. All Republicans

20. I said... "who in their right mind."

4. It was his revenge for Whitewater

He waited until he could inflict the most damage and took his shot. Never forget the past it comes back with fury. He so desperately wanted to go after the Clinton's back then and had nothing and turned this into his last flaming arrow. Unfortunately for us he hit bullseye

[boston bean]

5. yep. I am so disgusted..

It was also an infiltration of Russia with an assist from Comey.

This cannot be allowed to stand as the norm in American politics.

7. I agree with both of you.

But what recourse do we have? I imagine some potential paths but really, I wonder what we do now.

[wordpix]

15. "what recourse do we have?" With Trumpenfuror's staffing/cabinet picks in disarray,

if this continues, maybe "something" will happen. I'm thinking the Paul Ryan wing and established repugs may try to overpower the Trump faction and take over.

[2naSalit]

18. Now that's an interesting

thought, and I suspect that someone will need to step up and be the grown up and deal with the mayhem, but not until significant damage has been done to the process in general.

Lesson: Never, ever appoint a Republican to a position of power. They are scorpions, it's their nature. Always.

[C Moon]

11. Yeah, that was a very dumb move.

[jmg257]

6. Makes obvious sense - no big surprise there. Went from talking about trump

assaulting women to Hillary's investigation overnight.

I think it "justified" a lot of people's decision to not support her. (in their mind).

[randr]

9. This alone is reason to void the election

The EC should take a long hard look at this and determine if the election was conducted in all fairness.

[2naSalit]

19. 1!

[closeupready]

10. Yawn.

[CajunBlazer]

13. Please explain your post - I am trying to keep myself from thinking that you....

....are dismissing the Comey's behavior as irrelevant when it was perhaps the key factor in the election results.

[Control-Z]

21. I too would love an explanation

for why you've discounted the OP.

17. Open invitation to anyone who believes this was purely coincidental or somehow justified and urgent:

Would you like to play a shell game?

[Warren DeMontague]

22. he violated longstanding FBI policy. It was unprecedented.

And absolutely I think it had an effect.
