Didn't he win because of the FBI?
What does it mean to say Trump won because the FBI revealed the truth?
If Trump won because the FBI for once, as an afterthought, almost by accident, told the truth, that only reinforces my point that people were fed up with crooks running the government.
But I don't know how may people decided their vote because of it. Hillary may have tried to blame the FBI but she tried to blame just about everything she could think of including sexism, the electoral college, racism and Russia. I think she lost because people were tired of crooks running the government getting rich while the people got poorer.
People who don't understand Trump voters need an explanation of how anyone could vote for someone with his speaking style. They are not affected by government policies the way Trump voters are because they are in different economic circumstances. So they need an explanation of how people could vote for Trump. Instead of the obvious answer, Trump proposed policies that would help his supporters economically, ie Trump would look after the needs of citizens, ie, Trump is the good guy in this story, they look for another explanation, the FBI, Russia, racism, etc. Trump won because he was the only candidate who put Americans first. Not illegal immigrants, not refugees, not foreign governments, not political cronies, not multinational corporations, but American citizens.
Was the reopening of the investigation into Hilary's emails, weeks before the election, an effort to help her?
Comey made the announcement just before the election because he thought it was certain Clinton would win.

James Comey said his decision to announce that the FBI was going to look back into the Hillary Clinton email investigation just days before the election was influenced by his belief that she would beat Donald Trump and his desire to make sure that the election results were viewed as legitimate.
And why didn't they make public the suspicion of Trump collusion whit Russia, if their goal was to oppose Trump?
The real point of the Russia hoax was to justify surveillance to get evidence for real crimes. They never got any because Trump is not a crook like the establishment cronies. They were probably stupefied by that.
Going after Trump with the fake dossier itself was risky because it was used illegally and was an obvious hoax. It was only an "insurance policy" in case Trump won. They would be in such a lot of trouble if Trump won that it would be worth resorting to a dubious risky "insurance policy" that might get them in even worse trouble if there was any chance it could lead to the removal of Trump from office.

It's also why the media is so negative towards Trump. The media is controlled by the establishment so once they had spread the false stories about Trump at the request of the politicians and appointed bureaucrats they were complicit in the conspiracy and they now have to stick to the Russia story no one believes because it is their only hope of avoiding prosecution.
It is a very weird conspiracy, where the conspirators do the complete opposite of what is supposed to be helpful.
Q often says "these people are stupid".
They had been operating illegally for so long they stopped worrying about what would happen if the establishment was voted out of power.
I think this a common factor that leads to many criminals being brought to justice. They operate successfully until it makes them careless and then they get caught.
