Could see it in Hillary's face when she held a press conference after the story broke.

Felt the major shift on that Friday evening. And it ramped up as the weekend progressed.

FBI had this computer for a while and knew about the letters for at least since early October, from what has been reported.
So why didn't FBI get a search warrant right away after discovering these emails?
Both letters ended up very damaging.
First letter, 11 days before the election. Second letter, on Sunday before the election-instead of "exonerated" it got headlines that "Hillary again avoids prosecution."
Even if Hillary only lost one point on this (and I think more) she couldn't afford to lose it and it cost her the election.

I mean, the whole, sorry Comey saga (including the part where HE-- of ALL people-- called HER reckless!!!) pissed me off, but that was the final nail in the coffin.

I think all of the polling averages and prediction models were mostly correct, probably underestimating the white working class vote somewhat, but ultimately the primary polling was correct, there was no "hidden" Trump vote, and I don't see it being off enough to have affected the race, especially with the type of leads H was polling after winning all three debates and Trump having melted down during much of October.

Hillary was the odds on favorite to win, nobody in 70 years has lost after maintaining such strong and durable leads - until Comey/Rudy/FBI interfered (and violated the Hatch Act, which was amendend in '93 to prevent against this exact type of scenario) in a such an egregious manner as to damage her momentum and likely cost her at least 3 points, imo. Without Comey, she wins by at least 5 points, and 320+ electoral votes.

My point, even if it were only one point, it was enough to cost here the election!

They had more foresight than me because I was still optimistic about the election.

Exit polls showed that 50% of Ohioans were bothered by Clinton's private email "a lot" and they overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Unbelievable.

I sometimes wonder if she would've done better if she had a long laundry list of questionable/bad behavior like Trump? Maybe she should have grabbed guys by the penis?

I'm kidding (sort of), but the damn media kept their crosshairs on an alleged email "scandal" while Trump moved from one outrageous behavior to another, none of them seeming to stick very long.

and it was obvious when it happened just 11 days before an election, that the letter was so vague, that the FBI/Comey broke a long standing custom of not commenting on ongoing investigations, then there were subsequent anti-Clinton (Marc Rich documents) drips on the FBI twitter feed, and anonymous leaks to the NYT throwing cold water on the Trump/Putin connection, etc.

The fact that our law enforcement agencies are so right-wing (and perhaps alt-right) is a clear and present danger to the health of the republic and any elections going forward.

become a synonym for hideous and treasonous behavior, like Benedict Arnold's or for weak kowtowing to and collaboration with the destructive power of an occupying force, like Quisling's.
