      1. I'm glad Nate Silver & others are bringing this up again because it was a crucial dynamic.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/855798244173115392 …

      The case that the Comey letter—or the media's handling of the letter—cost Clinton the election is painfully obvious. http://53eig.ht/2mOj8RU

      4. Might be good to address up the venerable "who is to blame?" question. My answer: all are sinners, all must atone.

      Glenn's question is a good one -- I should write something more formal.

          Something that gets underestimated is how devistating a letter from law enforcement is to a campaign.

          Even Trump campaign believes Comey letter was game changing. Really no argument otherwise.
