Here’s a newsflash for you: Outgoing Sen. Harry is pissed. Royally pissed. Why? Because FBI Director James Comey singlehandedly prevented Hillary Clinton from fulfilling her political destiny:

"She would have won this election without any problem is Comey hadn't been the Republican operative that he is." — @SenatorReid #inners

"Comey can be fat and happy in his office for 7 more years having thrown an election to Donald Trump." — @SenatorReid #inners

Transcript:

Reid: I love Hillary Clinton, I’m sorry she lost, I did everything I could to help. And, you know, I could go through a litany of things. There is no question in my mind. She would have won this election without any problem if Comey had not been the Republican operative that he is. For example —

Hayes: Those are strong words.

Reid: But I believe it. He came out against what the Attorney General had recommended, against what common sense dictates. He is the reason she lost the election. So if you want one reason, that’s it. Comey, he can be fat and happy in his office there for seven more years after having thrown the election to Donald Trump.
