John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman, lashed out in an interview released Monday, blasting the Russians, the FBI, Breitbart News, Alex Jones’ InfoWars, fake news and WikiLeaks for causing the conditions that led Democrats to lose the White House on November 8.

Podesta did not mention, and was not asked, about factors that likely had greater impact upon Clinton’s loss: her negatives, her email scandal at the State Department, her quid pro quo scandal at the Clinton Foundation, her trouble reaching out to suburban and rural voters, her campaign’s focus on poll-tested slogans and identity politics and her decision to stay out of Wisconsin.

“[Fake news] is sinister. And Trump peddles it. His people peddle it. Bannon peddles it. Breitbart peddles it.”

Instead, Bloomberg politics editor John Heilemann pitched mostly softballs to Podesta, letting him express his anger against the Russians, who allegedly hacked his Gmail account in March, and other scapegoats.

“[Fake news] is sinister,” said Podesta. “And Trump peddles it. His people peddle it. Bannon peddles it. Breitbart peddles it … It’s undermining our democracy.”

Podesta was a speaker at the NewCo Shift Forum, held from Feb. 6 to 8, in San Francisco. The video was posted Monday at NewCo’s YouTube page, and misleadingly titled “John Podesta Talks About a Hacked Election.” (There is no indication that any election equipment was hacked in the 2016 elections.)

Podesta spent most of his time weaving a tale of how the Russians hacked into his Gmail, and the Democratic National Commitee’s emails, and leaked the contents to damage the Clinton campaign.

WikiLeaks began leaking about 60,000 of Podesta’s emails on October 7, in a daily barrage that didn’t end until Election Day. Many mainstream media outlets made a point of refusing to cover the daily revelations from the leaks.

It’s unclear which one factor Podesta thought was the worst. But he reserved the most venom for the FBI.

The FBI director, James Comey, rocked the election when Comey publicly conceded to Congress, on October 28, that the FBI had reopened the investigation into the use of a private server by Clinton while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

“[The Comey letter] did enormous damage to the campaign in the last week,” said Podesta.

The FBI found 650,000 emails on the laptop of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.). Weiner is the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Clinton’s top aide.

Comey was forced to follow a precedent he had set earlier in the campaign and inform Congress that the probe into Clinton’s conduct at the State Department had been reopened. Comey was already under tremendous criticism for not recommending an indictment against Clinton.

Comey had closed the investigation into Clinton’s email scandal on July 5.

But only days after announcing the newly found Clinton emails, Comey said, on Nov. 6, that the FBI did not find anything serious on Weiner’s laptop, and closed the case again.

Podesta suggested an “Access Hollywood” videotape showing Trump using locker-room language in 2005 should have had more impact on Trump’s poll numbers. Clinton’s longtime confidant blamed WikiLeaks’ release of their first Podesta emails the same day the “Access Hollywood” tape leaked — on October 7 — for the tape not having a larger impact. Podesta did not note that many press outlets refused to cover the WikiLeaks revelations while the negative coverage surrounding Trump’s comments in the “Access Hollywood” video was the subject of wall-to-wall coverage.

The one key find much of the media was forced to cover, described by WikiLeaks as the “holy grail” of 2016 campaign journalism, were excerpts of Clinton’s speeches to big banks and other monied audiences. The documents, found in Podesta’s emails, revealed that Clinton had told bankers she believed in wide-open immigration and holding different positions in public versus private.

“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders,” Clinton told Banco Itau, a Brazilian bank, on May 16, 2013.

But Podesta wasn’t asked about the contents of the email by Heilemann — at least not in the 25 minutes that NewCo posted. Nor was Podesta asked about Clinton’s attack on Trump voters as “deplorables,” an attack made in September that is widely seen as hurting Clinton with independent voters.

Instead, Podesta got to suggest, without evidence, that President Donald Trump is beholden to the Russians because they have previously invested in Trump’s businesses. Podesta even suggested that Trump is approving or ignoring the violence of Russian rebels in the Ukraine.

“[Russian President Vladimir] Putin wanted Trump to win because Trump essentially adopted . . . a Russian version of foreign policy rather than a U.S. version,” said Podesta. “It should not be surprising that the day [Trump] spoke to Putin, this month, that violence flared again in eastern Ukraine again.”

Podesta also parroted the Democratic talking point that he wants to see an investigation into any collusion among Trump, the Russians and WikiLeaks.
