On Thursday, economist Paul Krugman addressed the role FBI Director James Comey played in Donald Trump’s win, notes Business Insider.
The matter at hand is the director’s late October announcement that the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails was possibly going to be renewed.
Krugman said via Twitter, “As evidence accumulates that Trump benefited from a lot of late deciders breaking his way, the case that it was Comey gets stronger.”
That tweet was immediately followed by, “So it looks more and more as if we had an election swung, in effect, by a faction of our own security sector in alliance with Putin.”
Krugman is not the only one to express a belief that Comey's announcement played a role in the election’s outcome.
Just a day prior, Corey Lewandowski, former Trump campaign manager, told a group gathered at the Oxford Union that Comey’s announcement gave Trump a “spring in his step” and spurred his team to, “redouble their efforts.”
