Andrea Mitchell couldn’t hold in her displeasure for the FBI Tuesday night during NBC’s Nightly News. The professional journalist continued to whine about how the FBI’s announcement, to not indict Hillary Clinton with a felony, “spoiled” her big day. “The FBI's bombshell announcement spoiling what President Obama and Hillary Clinton were hoping would be the political picture of the day, stepping off Air Force One together,” she moaned.

The magical sight was something Mitchell had been looking forward to for a while now. On NBC’s Meet the Press the previous Sunday she described how perfect the scene was going to be, while flailing her arms around:

I was told that there was a plan, a possible plan for her to fly in on Tuesday with this first Obama meeting to North Carolina on Air Force One! The full embrace! The Picture! … Coming out— You see the door of the plane opens, there are the two of them arm-in-arm!

The reporter praised Clinton and Obama’s tag team attacks on her opponent Donald Trump, and lamented that it might have been for nothing, “But today those attacks on Trump overshadowed by what the FBI director said about Clinton.

She was upset with FBI Director James Comey for speaking negatively about her favorite presidential candidate, and claimed he was helping Republicans. “It's the FBI's stunning rebuke of Clinton that's ready made for Republican attacks,” she complained. Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin backed her up saying, “He laid out a non-legal but political indictment for Republicans to use of what Hillary Clinton did with her e-mails.

Even though Comey recommended that no charges be filed against Clinton he did expose her as a liar. Clinton claimed she never sent or received classified information, but Comey stated there were 8 that were known to be Top Secret. The FBI director called the actions of Clinton and her people “extremely careless.”
