Klein’s source said that Hillary was “weeping inconsolably,” so much so that it was initially difficult to even understand what she was saying.
Eventually the source was able to make out that Hillary was blaming FBI Director James Comey and President Obama for her defeat. She blamed Obama not for lack of support on the campaign trail but for not quashing the FBI’s investigations.
Obviously stories from unnamed sources are easy to dismiss but what Klein describes seems plausible given that Hillary’s concession speech was first scheduled for 9:30 am, then 10:30 am, then finally happened around 11:30 am. Concession speeches are typically boilerplate stuff. It didn’t take her people that long to finish writing it. It looks a lot like the long delay was needed primarily to allow Hillary to regain her composure.
