Im going to let her answer for that, Mook replied. I think what happens right now, weve got to get to the bottom of what happened in 2016, then we can start worrying about the next cycle. But weve got to make sure that this cannot happen again in two years or four years to anybody else.

Mook also refused to rule out a Clinton comeback in 2020 when asked Tuesday by veteran news anchor Dan Rather.

I have no idea, Mook said. You genuinely would have to ask her.

In recent weeks, Clintons name has been linked to reports that shes eyeing a political comeback of some kind.

According toTMZ, Clinton is considering running for New York City mayor this, despite that a majority of likely voters in the deep blue Big Apple dont want heranywhere near city hall.

Still searching for her place in a politically frayed Democratic party, Clinton announced last weekat a St Patricks Day event in Scranton, Pennsylvania that she isready to, you know, come out of the woods.

He also accused former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of having much more extensive ties with Russia than Trump.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, along with the Obama Administration, approved a deal that gave Russia one-fifth of Americas uranium reserves. Hillarys husband, former President Bill Clinton, received over half-a-million dollars by a paid speech by a bank connected to the uranium deal. And Vladimir Putin personally called the former President and thanked him for giving the speech.

Manafort resigned from the Trump campaign in August after reports highlighted his business dealings with pro-Russian political forces in Ukraine. Today, the Associated Press reported that Manafort signed a $10 million contract in 2006 to represent the interests of a Russian billionaireclose to Putin.

Hillary Clinton is ready for a comeback.

The former secretary of state announced Friday during a St. Patricks Day speech, shesready to come out of hidingand help the American people find common ground.

Im like a lot of my friends right now. I have a hard time watching the news, Ill confess, Clinton said as part of a 20-minute speech she made in front of the Society of Irish Women in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

I am ready to come out of the woods and to help shine a light on what is already happening around kitchen tables, at dinners like this.

Clintons reference to coming out of the woods can be taken both literally and figuratively. The Clinton family has been laying somewhat low since her stunning presidential election loss in November. Save for a few tweets from daughter Chelsea, the Clintons havebeen spending most of their time in their home in Chappaqua, New York, spending afternoons hiking in the surrounding woods.But now, Clinton said, its time to help heal a divided nation.

I do not believe that we can let political divides harden into personal divides. And we cant just ignore, or turn a cold shoulder to someone because they disagree with us politically, Clinton saidin her speech.

It appears Clinton really means it when she says shes ready to make a roaring comeback. Her dance card is filled with public appearances and speeches in the coming months, includinga May 26 commencement address at Wellesley College in Massachusetts,her alma mater.

The newly invigorated and more public version of Clinton may be leading up to another huge announcement: a run at becoming mayor of New York City. According to celebrity gossip site TMZ, a source says Clinton is honestly considering a run against current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. According to a January 2017 poll byQuinnipiac University, in a hypothetical race, Hillary Clinton, running as an independent, tops incumbent Bill de Blasio, running as a Democrat, 4930 percent. While surely a promising poll, we all remember what happened last time Clinton relied on such data.

FBI Director James Comey repeatedly referred to Russian President Vladimir Putins personal animus to Hillary Clinton as one of the major motivations in Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election during congressional testimony Tuesday.

Comey described how Putin hated Hillary Clinton so much he developed a preference for President Donald Trump. Comey deployed a sports metaphor, saying, I hate the New England Patriots, and no matter who they play, Id like them to lose.

His statements echo the main findings of the Jan. 6 U.S. intelligence communitys report on Russian attempts to undermine the 2016 election. Russias goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency, the reports key judgement found.

Comeys statement and the reports key judgementcontradict major media reports that Putins primary aim was to help the Trump campaign, and discount the role of Putins feelings regarding Clinton. The FBI director in part deployed his New England Patriots analogy to walk back such accusations.

Comey described how Putins campaign to denigrate Clinton accelerated after Trump won the Republican presidential nomination, an assertion which is also found in the Jan. 6 report, Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trumps election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.

Former President Barack Obamas ambassador to RussiaMichael McCaul confirmedhe shared this feeling toNBCNews in December, saying thatPutin has had a vendetta against Hillary Clinton, that has been known for a long time because of what she said about his elections back in the parliamentary elections of 2011.

Russias government did not even believe Trump would win the election, by the intelligence communitys own admission, and focused the latter part of its influence campaign towards undermining Clintons future presidency.

Putins vendetta against Clinton stem from her2011 remarks as U.S. secretary of state alleging widespread fraud in Russias 2011 parliamentary elections. He became so incensed by Clintons remarks, that he accused her of trying to meddle, saying her comments gave a signal to his opponents. He told reporters in 2011 that leaders of the opposition tried to undermine him with the support of the US state department began active work.
