Who affected the election more? 13 Russians or James Comey and his press conference?

Which did more damage to Hillary's campaign for POTUS more and had the biggest impact on the election? 13 Ruskie Twitterbots and their meme war or the Director of the FBI standing in front of the entirety of the nation proclaiming that someone that was in a practical dead heat for POTUS had broken the law, was "wreckless" with national security and "grossly negligent?"

Which one changed more minds not to vote for Hillary?

Why is one charged with felony crimes and the other not?

What says the PB?

Comey.

Still can't believe he released that statement right before the election.

I think that swung a lot of "on the fencers" and maybe made people stay home and not vote for her.

I understand your question. But, HRC was the shittiest (pun intended) candidate ever. Excuse making has turned into a 2 year..and counting.. fricktard festival.

Hillary.

Hillary affected the election more. People just straight up don't like her. She's a crooked dirtbag if there ever was one. Good thing she screwed ol' Bernie outta the nomination

Although I think Trump would've beaten pretty much anyone they put out there.

If Hillary had been charged like she should have, would that have been worse than Comey’s statement?

Democrats who voted for/rigged the primary to nominate Hillary Clinton.

Frankly, in hindsight, she was almost unelectable. It was only close because of the utterly one-sided media and the polarizing nature of her opponent.

This shows how corrupt/compromised our national media is. That anyone thought Hillary would be a non-disastrous President - she was the singular figure (in 2016) the opposition could rally against.

Hillary, Comey was just the messenger, had the investigation been handled correctly there would have never been the need for a presser because it would have been decided months before, and she would already be in jail.

I think a lot of people saw the blatant MSM cheerleading for HRC as the propaganda it was and reacted appropriately.

Option C: Wikileaks dump that was essentially certified as true by Hilliary by addressing a point in the middle of the debating.

Comparing herself as Abe Lincoln no less.

I think Hillary collapsing outside her motorcade, seizing out at baloons on stage and hacking loogers into glasses on stage had more of an impact than Comey.

And because she sucks as a human

Comey.
His 2nd letter tipped the scales.

For me, just using personal computer for state Dept biz eliminated her for me.

Okay- I'll play. Comey had more impact on Hillary in the election more than the non-existent Russian bots, bot not for the reasons that Pelvic Dog thinks.

Comey's grandstand shitshow of a presser didn't negatively impact Hillary because he called her reckless or anything else. His refusal to recommend charges and the idiotic interpretation of the statute may have infuriated some that otherwise would not have voted for either and that pushed may have caused them to lean a little further towards Trump, but not significantly.

What it really did was set Trump up for his savage "cause you'd be in jail" he slammed her with during the debate. I think that hurt Hillary far worse than anything Comey said.

My point was that Comey impacted the election FAR more than Russian bots but they are the ones with the indictments.

Think about that for a second.

Probably but the BIGGEST impact was Hillary's campaign narrative...."I'm not him"

According to Lisa Page, Comey didn’t do enough in the face of Obama/Lynch obstruction of justice.

Hillary should be locked up.
Lynch should be locked up.
Comey should be locked up.
Obama should be locked up.


And Bill should be locked up for conspiracy to obstruct justice with his Phoenix meeting with Lynch, and for the sexual safety of the world’s female population!
