I very glad she is coming out and pushing back on the bullshit that has been coming out lately that conveniently ignores the media coverage, the FBI and Russian interference.

Hillary was ahead in the polls before the FBI letter to the republicans in congress, and once that letter and the media's misrepresentation of it came out, she lost that lead. This isn't rocket science. Nate Silver said without a doubt Hillary would have won before that letter, and he's right:
