David Axelrod: Jim Comey Didn’t Tell Hillary ‘Not to Campaign in Wisconsin’

EXCERPT:

AXELROD: "Well, first of all, let me say that the 2016 race was a miserable slog and nobody in America is eager to re-litigate it except the combatants who keep going back to it. But beyond that, what I -- look, she has a legitimate beef because Comey’s letter was instrumental, I think, in her defeat. So in a narrow sense she is right about it. But Jim Comey didn’t tell her not to campaign in Wisconsin after the convention. Jim Comey didn’t say don't to put any resources into Michigan until the final week of the campaign. And -- and one of the things that hindered her in the campaign was a sense that she never fully was willing to take responsibility for her mistakes, particularly that server. And, you know, so if I were her, if I were advising her, I would say don’t do this, don’t go back and -- and appear as if you are shifting responsibility off of yourself. She said the words I am responsible, but everything else suggested that she doesn’t feel that way and I don’t think -- that helps her in the long-run. So, if I were her, I would move on."
