Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory

The act of failing or losing when it seemed a sure thing you had it made.
Dude 1: "Remember that one UFC fight with the Sumo wrestler and the little French guy? Sumo was squeezing the shit outta Frenchy! I thought his head was gonna pop!"

Dude 2: "Yeah, then the little guy squirted a punch 'tween fat bastard's moobs and totally busted his nose. Ref called a TKO."

Dude 1: Fatty totally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, there.

Murdoch defence

Rejecting responsibility for any wrongdoing within your organisation because it's too big. Laying the blame on people who you trusted that let you down and let down the people who you trusted and so forth. Then claiming you're the best person to clear up the mess!
Louise Mensch: "Mr Murdoch, have you considered resigning?

Rupert Murdoch: "No."

LM: "Why not?"

RM: "Because, I feel that people I trusted, I'm not saying who, I don't know what level, have let me down. I think they behaved disgracefully and betrayed the company, and me. It's for them to pay. I think that, frankly, I'm the best person to clear this up. I plead the Murdoch defence!"
