Clearly, one issue cannot be blamed entirely for Clinton's political demise. However, the impact of hackers and whistleblowers on this campaign was unlike anything seen before in a US election and forced the Clinton camp to spend many trail hours on the defensive.
WikiLeaks' onslaught of almost 60,000 leaked emails from Clinton's campaign chair John Podesta engulfed the campaign every day for a month in the run up to election day, and exposed some embarrassing inner workings of the campaign.
One of the most damaging Clinton controversies came in the form of her infamous use of a private email server to send and receive classified documents during her time as secretary of state.
Another damaging revelation came from the WikiLeaks' release of emails from key members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Leaked emails showed inner party strategizing to support Clinton and hamper her party rival Bernie Sanders during the primary campaign.

According to Mass Live, the impromptu interrogations unfolded hours after a group of teens allegedly stole an undercover narcotics SUV left idling outside a Worthington Street pizza shop while a detective was picking up a take-out order after 10 p.m. on Feb. 26, according to police records.
After a short pursuit, officers deployed spike strips and the boys were soon apprehended after a foot chase in which one boy was mauled by a police K-9.
Apparently drooling at the chance to inflict more pain on these kids who'd just made a terrible decision, several officers begged to be a part of the arrest — in spite of the captain telling them they would not be paid for it. Detective Gregg Bigda and his partner, Luke Cournoyer were two of those cops.
The subsequent video of that arrest shows narcotics detective Gregg Bigda and his partner, Luke Cournoyer, veering between cajoling, prodding, coercing and outright threatening two boys with death, beatings and fictitious criminal charges, including the John F.

Comment: Opinion poll: Europeans do not trust or want American occupation forces in their countries
Europeans do not trust the foreign military bases stationed on their countries' territories to resolve national security problems. Only 4% of German respondents and 5% of Italians believe that foreign military bases can handle the defense of their countries' better than their own national armies.
Given the sheer number of US military bases on the territory of Europe, it follows that Europe should be recognized as a continent under American occupation. Europe is an occupied continent and American military bases in Europe are the anchor of the political model of "united Europe." The famous Italian writer and columnist Max Bonelli clearly and definitively expressed this reality in an interview for Fort Russ when he said: "Italy is not an entirely sovereign state. 133 American bases are located on the territory of Italy..."
The first document is about a teenager named Gidan, born in 2000. He was serving in Daesh's ranks and his nickname was "Abu Al-Baraa." According to the document he was imprisoned on charges of failing to appear for a combat mission. In addition, the teenager was charged with "excessive liveliness" and humor! His fate is currently unknown, as Daesh's prison in al- Rutbah is now empty, following the liberation of the town from jihadists by Iraqi forces.
The second paper reports on the imprisonment of another 16-year-old named Abdel Khamid whose nickname is Abi Bakr. He was also charged with failure to appear for a combat missions organized by Daesh. The second reason for his imprisonment was dancing in the ranks of the terrorists. The documents did not specify how and under what circumstances, the teenager managed to "offend" Daesh's ringleaders with his dancing. The document's author just wrote in his comments that Abi Bakr had immoral behavior.

Here is a list of some of the celebs who claimed they would move out of the U.S. under a Trump administration.
Comment: Aslo read: Hollywood Freaks Out: 'About to Throw Up'
Around 10 p.m., Hollywood stars began to panic. Hillary Clinton wasn't as far ahead as they had expected her to be. In fact, the race was far from a landslide. Reflecting the anxiety of the Tinsel Town set, actress Mia Farrow re-tweeted a NYT poll showing that, as of 9:40 pm, Trump had a 55-percent chance of winning the election. As a comment on the tweet, she simply posted: "Xanax."
Several celebrities indicated suffering physical symptoms. Funny or Die comedian and actor Billy Eichner posted: "Still feeling confident but about to throw up." After tweeting "And Trump has closed a wide gap in North Carolina. Another shot, please," Dan Savage commented "I'm going to puke." Later in the evening, he intimated that death would come as sweet relief in the event of a Trump presidency. "Colorado approves assisted suicide," he noted about an article from a local Colorado news outlet. "That's going to come in handy."
Model Emily Ratajkowski tweeted "Ok I'm getting really nervous," while Khloe Kardashian expressed her view that "it shouldn't be this close." Singer Mandy Moore was flummoxed. "I am absolutely beside myself right now. I can't believe the way this thing has turned. Trying to remain hopeful but geez louise."
The Hollywood Reporter writer Lacey Rose declared "So. Much. Anxiety." Comedian Sarah Silverman seemed to despair further. "Someone give me hope," she pleaded. Rapper/Singer and Hamilton star Lin Manual Miranda tried to calm the bunch. "Breathe," he wrote above an attached picture with the words: "We will survive."
Ellen producer Andy Lassner, as a representative for the crowd planning a Northern exodus, tweeted: "I'm on hold with @AirCanada." Apparently, Canada's immigration site crashed around 8 pm.
Expressing his sentiments in two pregnant words, British Late Late Show host James Corden posted: "Brexit Feelings." Cher was channeling the same thoughts. "Ask yourself "DID I DO ALL I COULD HAVE DONE"!? It's a good Lesson. We r still Try'n 2have hope. SAW BREXIT RIP GB APART IN ONE NITE," the singer tweeted in her signature all caps style.
Sarah Silverman finally gave up around 11 p.m with the alarmist comment: "Putin's gonna win this thing."
