Yes. I knew it was over and she certainly had better information than most people.
We don't know that they "knew" anything ('writing on the wall' is too low a standard for elections).

Podesta speaking and HRC calling were separate events; she conceded after Trump reached 270.

I'm no HRC fan but I think benefit of the doubt is called for with this. I don't think she deserves the heat for this decision.
Her call was made within minutes of Podesta ending his speech. Nothing occurred in that brief interval. She had no intention of going out there last night and likely did not have any concession speech prepared due to her overconfidence. It's water under the bridge though. She was very gracious today.
