Biden: "I Never Thought Hillary Was The Correct Candidate"

184. I don't blame Bernie for her defeat, I blame Comey. I actually try not to emphasize

the Russian part of the story because it overshadows the horror of what the FBI did in this election, from beginning to end.

I think the fact that the Bernie did so well made it possible for some people to believe wild accusations that the race was somehow stolen. But that isn't about placing blame. Obviously, Bernie Sanders, or any Clinton opponent, was always going to do their best get what ever percentage of the vote they ultimately got.

We could also say that the wild stories about HRC being on the brink of indictment led some people to believe that Bernie was ultimately going to be the nominee and feel all the more disappointed when he wasn't.

In the end, this was the FBI's election from beginning to end. Going all the way back to 2015, when Comey decided to investigate her, the FBI was targeting HRC. There was a presidential candidate whose reputation and candidacy were completely obliterated by the FBI. It scares me that people don't understand that this is what happened or how big of a deal it was. In my mind it is bigger than Russia-gate, and that is really saying something.
