The Unmaking Of The President 2024: How FBI Director James Comey Cost Hillary Clinton The Presidency

Part I: The Email Scandal

In the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was investigating Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State. On July 5, 2016, FBI Director James Comey announced that the FBI had completed its investigation and would not recommend criminal charges against Clinton. However, Comey also said that Clinton had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information.

This announcement was seen by many as a major blow to Clinton's campaign. Comey's statement came just 11 days before the Democratic National Convention, and it raised questions about Clinton's judgment and trustworthiness.

Part II: The Letter to Congress

On October 28, 2016, just 11 days before the election, Comey sent a letter to Congress announcing that the FBI was reopening its investigation into Clinton's emails. This announcement sent shockwaves through the political world and raised new questions about Clinton's judgment and trustworthiness.

Many believe that Comey's letter to Congress cost Clinton the election. According to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, 52% of voters said that Comey's letter made them less likely to vote for Clinton.

Part III: The Aftermath

After the election, Comey was fired by President Trump. Comey has since written a book about his experiences, in which he argues that he made the right decision in reopening the investigation into Clinton's emails. However, many people believe that Comey's decision was politically motivated and that it cost Clinton the election.

The FBI's investigation into Clinton's emails is a complex and controversial topic. There is no consensus on whether Comey made the right decision in reopening the investigation, and the full impact of his decision may not be known for years to come.

James Comey's decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails was a major turning point in the 2016 presidential election. Comey's announcement just 11 days before the election raised questions about Clinton's judgment and trustworthiness, and it is widely believed that it cost her the election.
