McCabe interviewers avoiding the biggest factor in Clinton losing

11 days before the election, Clinton had a seemingly insurmountable lead. Comey inexplicably announced (albeit by private memo to congress), that the Clinton investigation was being reopened. Giuliani certainly knew this was going to happen, as evidenced by his Cheshire cat imitation during the Fox interview a couple of days prior to the release.

Rumor has it that this was orchestrated by the Trumplandia NY FBI agents, but we have never sufficiently heard why these emails were found on Weiner’s laptop, and what conditions convinced or forced Comey to reopen the Clinton investigation. Of course this turned out to be a dud. But it was the single most proximate reason that Clinton lost the election. Comey’s exclamation was unconvincing.

This reeks to high heaven and I don’t understand why no one has pressed McCabe on this particular issue. I do hope this is being investigated. A few of the tweeter patriots have brought this up in the past, but I haven’t heard about it in the recent interviews with McCabe, despite all his talk about Comey and Rosenstein before and after the election.

I know for a fact that an acquaintance of mine stated, days before the announcement, that she had heard Lara Trump rubbing her hands with glee and cackling that she knew how they were going to get Hillary.
Collusion? Big time!

Scarborough can annoyingly overbearing but I appreciate his grilling sometimes. Sounds like McCabe wasn't involved in that decision or process.

Don't know if you care for Louise Mensch, but here was my initial exposure to possible wrongdoing...
