Had it not been for his last minute intervention HRC would have won an enormous victory. 8 points, give or take 2 points. 333 to 375 electoral votes.

And she would have won by more than that had it not been for his July press conference.

This election was all about the FBI. It is crazy that the media is downplaying that fact. And it is a fact.
