"She has no one to blame but herself" seems to be a new talking point.

Hillary has taken the hit, acknowledged the mistake, and apologized for the private server.

Hillary is not to blame for Comey's subsequent break with protocol in his press briefing in July, his disregard of long standing practices and standards in his release of investigatory notes in September, or his outright breach of ethics on the last Friday in October.

Nor is she responsible for Comey's breathtaking inability to control the rogue elements in his own agency, his hapless caving to doctrinaire tea party republican chairmen (they don't deserve uppercase letters), or his selective circumspection concerning exactly what information should be available to the electorate nine days before it will choose the president.

James Comey will be remembered long after this election as an object lesson in what NOT to do as the person entrusted with safeguarding the fair, equal, objective, and principled exercise of investigatory power.

And he has no one to blame but himself.
