WATCH: Sen. Harry Reid Accuses Trump Campaign of Coordinating With Wikileaks and Russian Government

Blames FBI Director for Clinton Loss and for Democrats Not Taking Over Senate

Senator Harry Reid is accusing the Donald Trump campaign of coordinating with Wikileaks and the Russian government, and accusing FBI director Jamey Comey of acting as a “partisan,” saying all were working to help Trump get elected.

“The DNC was hacked, everybody knew that. Wikileaks was coming out, drip by drip by drip – they wouldn’t do it all at once of course, because they were coordinating this obviously with the Trump folks and the Russians.

Asked to clarify, Reid said in his opinion the Russian government was trying to steer the election to Donald Trump, and FBI Director Comey “ignored it.”

“It’s obvious he was a partisan in all this,” the outgoing Senate Democratic Leader told CNN’s Manu Raju. “There’s information out there. He had it, I’m confident. And he ignored it.”

The Nevada Democrat added, “the FBI did nothing – did nothing. All the information that we’ve heard in the last couple weeks, it was available to the FBI. He just ignored it. He did not make it public. We asked him to more than once and he didn’t do it.”

And Sen. Reid made clear why he thinks Hillary Clinton lost the election and the Democrats lost what many believed was going to be the Senate majority.

“Had he not written that letter a week or so before the election, she would have won, We would have picked up at least two more Senate seats,” he said.

In late October Senator Reid sent Director Comey a letter, which he also made public, blasting the FBI Director for not releasing the information he had on Russia interfering in the U.S. election. 

“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his advisors, and the Russian government – a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity,” Reid wrote.

“By contrast, as soon as you came in possession of the slightest innuendo related to Secretary Clinton, you rushed to publicize it in the most negative light possible,” Sen. Reid observed.
