Download Unmaking of the President 2016: How FBI Director James Comey Cost Hillary Clinton the Presidency AudioBook Free
A longtime Washington insider argues that there is one determining factor that threw the election to Donald Trump: FBI Director Adam Comey's October 28th letter to Congress, directed during the vital 11 days and nights before election day on November 8, 2016. During the week of October 24, 2016, Hillary Clinton was decisively before Donald Trump in many polls and, more importantly, in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pa. Then FBI Director Adam Comey directed his infamous letter to Congress on October 28, declaring the bureau was investigating additional e-mail that might have been relevant to the Hillary Clinton email circumstance. In The Unmaking of the Chief executive 2016, attorney Lanny J. Davis shows how Comey's misguided announcement - just 11 days and nights before the election - swung a substantial number of voters toward Trump, being successful him an Electoral School victory - and the presidency. Davis traces Clinton's email controversy and Comey's July 2016 appearance before Congress, where he said the Clinton email subject was effectively shut. From that instant until Comey's later October letter to Congress, Davis says, Clinton was destined to be elected leader by substantial popular and electoral vote margins. However the decision to send his October 28 letter, so near the election, not only violated long-standing justice section guidelines but also contained no new facts of poor emails by any means - just natural speculation. Davis shows condition by condition, using polls data before October 28, and on election day, how voter support for Hillary Clinton eroded quickly. He proves that got the election been placed on October 27, Hillary Clinton would have earned the presidency by a substantial margin. Despite so a great many other issues in the closing days and nights of the marketing campaign - Trump's action, the Russian hacking, records of Clinton momentum in marginal states such as Georgia, Arizona, even Texas - after the October 28 Comey letter, everything changed. Referrals to "Clinton e-mail" and "new unlawful exploration" dominated marketing coverage virtually round-the-clock through Election Day November 8th. Now Davis proves with fresh, indisputable data how Comey's October surprise transformed American background in the blink of an attention and cost Hillary Clinton the presidency.
