Clinton says Comey's letter, Russian hackers cost her the election
By John Whitesides
Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday she was on the path to victory in the 2016 presidential election until late interference by Russian hackers and FBI Director James Comey scared off some potential supporters.
In her most extensive public comments on the Nov. 8 election, Clinton told a New York conference she was derailed by Comey's Oct. 28 letter informing Congress the FBI had reopened the probe of her use of a private email server and by the Wikileaks release of campaign chairman John Podesta's emails, allegedly stolen by Russian hackers.
"If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president," she told a women's conference in New York moderated by CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
