I'm not any kind of lawyer.
But without a doubt, Comey's letter changed the dynamic. The entire last 11 days was basically about Hillary's email scandal. The polls clearly tightened from the time that letter came out, and she only needed 77,000 votes in 3 states.
Again...how did Comey change the dynamic? Explain....present the evidence that shows just how anyone had their mind changed in the last few days leading up to the election. The facts are documented.....the voters where polarized from mid summer to the day of the election....the press nor the opinion polls had a clue just how pissed the America Voters were with the silent majority being forgotten about. Just how many times were you warned on this board to pay no attention to the polls....as history dictates, if any incumbent party can't break 50% by mid summer.....the people will vote for CHANGE. That was months before Comey released anything. What....are we psychic? Of course not just students of history actual....history always wills out, if you don't learn and garner wisdom from the past you are doomed to fail again, and again and again, as its insane to expect different results with exactly the same formula.
And THE CLINTON MACHINE placed the explanation point on that fact when they refused to even campaign in the rural areas of the supposed blue wall states. The election was over before a single vote was cast. She campaigned only in places where they were patting her on the back and telling her she was the greatest thing since sliced bread....liberal strongholds like Philly, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, and the worst coast with California, Oregon, Washington state..places they had locked up since the primary....and of course the bigoted and biased press having tingling legs every time this moca colored marxist spoke.
Trump did not win anything.....the democrat failures to produce anything of substance for the working poor of this naiton lost everything.
If what you were suggesting were true....why did Trump drag so many anti-trump republicans along on his coattail to take control of every section of the federal government? If it was just Clinton...the Demwits would have and should have taken control of at least the senate...'if' they had any kind of message to campaign on except telling everyone they would be in effect a proxy vote for a Soetoro/Obama/Hussein (whatever the hell he's calling himself today) 3rd term. 8 years of Bull Shit cost you the election. The American Voters spoke loud and clear and gave the keys to the kingdom to the GOP for the next 4 years....everything, lot stock and barrel....up and down the political sphere, the white house, the senate, congress, scotus, and 3/4 of the state and local political demography.
It was a shut out. Plan and Simple. You want to blame someone? Look in the damn mirror. Your ideology was rejected from top to bottom. You have not won any political seats of power since Soetoro shoved the Affordable Care Act up the asses of an unwilling PEOPLE. It was a rejection...plain an simple. The only reason your party won the white house in 2012 was due to a weak rhino candidate and the illegal use of Government agencies like the IRS and the HOME LAND SECURITY in targeting GOP political fund raising groups and any press agent that disagreed with the dictator in charge.
