Hillary Clinton did not face a fair playing field."
It's not like cities and counties and states have an issue with the "crumbling infrastructure" or anything. Remember this ?

The Hillary Clinton whinefest continues. I had hoped that like the falling out of favor Kardashians and Caitlyn Jenner, she'd just start fading out of an audience, but she feels compelled to keep complaining about all those who cost her the election.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson rejected the state department's justification that such material should be held back under exemption of the Freedom of Information Act . Clinton's emails, which had aroused suspicion, had the subject line "Quick Summary of POTUS Calls to Presidents of Libya and Egypt" and were sent following the attack that had occurred at an American embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
Sen. Charles Schumer is criticizing a Trump administration proposal to cut the budget of the Office of National Drug Control policy by 95 percent.

With husband Bill Clinton next to her, Clinton smiled and briefly stood to wave in acknowledgement of the crowd's loud ovation.
There was a particularly significant moment Wednesday as FBI Director James Comey forcefully defended his decision to disclose, just days before the election, that he'd reopened the investigation of Hillary Clinton's e-mails. He said not speaking up about the discovery of new emails possibly related to the investigation would have been a "catastrophic" act of concealment but added that "it makes me mildly nauseous to think we had an impact on the election".
Earlier in the day, the House of Representatives voted on the American Health Care Act . The bill still has to go through the Senate, where it will surely see changes, and therefore go back to the House, before going back to the Senate and then to the Oval Office where President Donald Trump would sign it.
"We have a lot more employees in the federal government than we ever imagined as a country, and we are in a position where a good number of these jobs don't necessarily need to be in Washington, D.C.," the Ohio Democrat told the Washington Examiner.

The Trump administration is weighing a cut of almost 95 percent of the budget for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy at a time the president has pledged to aggressively combat opioid addiction, according to an internal memo. The office, which coordinates much of U.S. drug strategy, including responses to trafficking, could see several grant programs for drug prevention discontinued under the proposal, which was decried by prevention advocates and members of Congress from both parties when it was reported on Friday.
