As Tuesday night turned to a triumph for Donald Trump, it didn’t take long for the blame game to begin — and many of Hillary’s supporters turned their ire on FBI Director James Comey.
Nancy Pelosi likened Comey’s Oct. 28 letter to a Molotov cocktail, while Harry Reid said he had “personally put a black mark on the FBI that will never go away.”
Other Democratic pundits weighed in on Twitter as the election results rolled in. The talk wasn’t about the wheeling and dealing at the Clinton Foundation or Hillary’s email scandal—it was about Comey.
I asked D strategist close to Clinton WTF is going on. Response "One word: Comey."

If Trump wins, I suspect he owes a big "thank you" to Jim Comey

Tell me please that Comey did not decide who our next president will be?

Comey did this to the country. @CNN this is close enough that it is impossible not to notice this.

We will always wonder — if Comey hadn't been so arrogant and jumped gun with "It's something…no it's nothing" what would have happened.

Some went into full meltdown mode
James Comey. James Comey. James Comey. James Comey. James Comey. James Comey. James Comey. James Comey. James Comey. James Comey.

I have already killed Trump, Comey, Putin, and all the people who voted for him, in my head, many, many times, since waking up today. GRRRR!
