Amid the election loss last Tuesday, with Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote and President-elect Donald Trump winning the Electoral College, Clinton has placed some of the blame on Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey.

“There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful. Our analysis is that Comey’s letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum,” the New York Times relayed from a donor Clinton spoke to after the election.

However, Clinton’s words and analysis in the call were put in question by a supporter, provided by the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS).

“The nominee said there were lots of reasons that still needed to be looked at and analyzed. Clinton herself, he felt, was not trying to analyze the election results during the call,” the supporter commented.

Clinton’s email scandal, that she was cleared yet declared “extremely reckless” by the FBI in July, was revived 11 days before the election because 450,000 emails, according to the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), were found in an unrelated case. The case was revolved around Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s estranged husband, Anthony Weiner, who is currently under investigation for supposedly sexting a 15-year-old girl.

The Cable News Network (CNN) reported that, “The thousands of new emails were mostly personal and duplicates of what had already been seen, law enforcement officials said in explaining how the conclusion was reached so quickly. The laptop which was found was about a decade old with lots of personal content on it not relevant to the investigation."

The letter from Comey to the Congressional Committee clearing Clinton again came two days before the election on Nov. 8.

“Democrats said Comey should have gathered more facts about the new emails before making a public announcement; most of the emails on a computer used by Clinton aide Huma Abedin turned out to be duplicates or unrelated to the investigation,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

“Republicans, who heralded Comey for launching the new inquiry, quickly changed course and accused him of buckling under pressure.”

Many had called into question whether Comey’s partisanship, being a registered Republican, had come into play however Clinton has not explicitly or implicitly expressed her thoughts on that.

“Just as we were back up on the upward trajectory, the second letter from Comey essentially doing what we knew it would — saying there was no there there — was a real motivator for Trump’s voters,” stated Clinton, reported by the Washington Post (WP).

Whether there is concrete evidence, Comey did have a significant negative impact on Clinton’s presidential bid is yet to be seen however, the case is already approximated for some.
