Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski made a startling admission this week when he said that FBI Director James Comey’s letter to Congress about new developments in Hillary Clinton’s email server handed Donald Trump the election.

The Telegraph reports that Lewandowski delivered a speech at the Oxford Union debating society on Wednesday in which he said that Comey’s letter gave the Trump campaign all the momentum it needed to put itself over the top.

“With eleven days to go, something amazing happened,” Lewandowski said. “The FBI’s director… came out on a Friday and he said they may be reopening the investigation into Crooked Hillary’s emails. What that did was remind people that there are two different rules in Washington – those of the elites, and the privileged and those for everybody else. When Comey moved forward with that investigation… it allowed the campaign a little spring in their step, and for them to redouble their efforts.”

Lewandowski then pointed out that over the next 11 days, Trump ran a comparatively disciplined campaign that stayed on his core messaging of “draining the swamp” of Washington corruption.

1. It was a coup

2. Was there ever any real doubt that Comey's letter stopped her momentum in it's tracks?

She was leading by a comfortable margin in most polls and was still pulling away when the letter was released. Had it not been for that letter, we would be talking about President-elect Clinton.

7. It was clear that Comey's letter was a disaster

The polls gave a false sense that the damage wasn't fatal, but it was.
