Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said today her camp is still unclear about why the FBI director made public a probe into newly discovered emails, but that she is focused on making her final appeal to voters.
“I don’t understand why he couldn’t have just looked into the matter and resolved it and not created such a ruckus in the campaign,” Mook said on “Good Morning America.” “We’re just glad that in this last day Hillary can get back out on the road, celebrate the historic turnout that we’ve seen across the country and talk about the vision she has for our country.”
The FBI announced Sunday in a letter to Congress it had concluded a review of newly discovered emails related to Clinton, and saw no reason to change its previous conclusions about Clinton's use of a private server when she was secretary of state.
FBI Director James Comey wrote to Congress Oct. 28 that the FBI was going to investigate emails potentially related to Clinton that had been found during an unrelated investigation, sending a shock wave through the presidential election in its final days.
“It was bizarre that he sent that first letter saying that he had some information,” Mook said this morning. “We were glad, obviously, that this was resolved.”
Mook said Clinton’s campaign is encouraged by the turnout they’ve seen in early voting states, particularly among Latino and Asian-American voters.
“I think if Secretary Clinton does win this election, and we expect her to do so, it will in part be because of enormous turnout in the Latino community but also in the Asian-American community,” Mook said.
“Over a third of the Asian-American and Latino voters that turned out in Florida hadn’t voted in 2014, hadn’t voted in 2012. We saw just enormous increases across the board.”
Mook called the high turnout among those voters, and women, a “Clinton Coalition.”
“I think if Secretary Clinton does win this election, and we expect her to do so, it will in part be because of enormous turnout in the Latino community but also in the Asian American community,” he said.
The campaign plans to release a two-minute advertisement tonight that Mook described as Clinton’s making “her closing case directly to the voters.”
Mook said the campaign is not threatened by Donald Trump’s breakneck pace of campaign stops – including in the Democratic strongholds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota – because of the efforts Clinton’s team has put into those and other states.
“I’m not concerned that he’s spending so much time there in the end because he didn’t build a ground game,” Mook said. “Just this weekend our team knocked on 7.2 million doors, made 8.1 million phone calls.”
“We have an apparatus in place to turn out votes,” he said. “I don’t think Donald Trump dashing around to these states at the last hour is going to do what’s needed to get his supporters out.”
