“This is the first president to make a full-throated, unvarnished attack on the entirety of the FBI,” Biden told CNN in a portion of an interview that aired Tuesday. “Not going after J. Edgar Hoover, who was one person in the FBI. This is to discredit the FBI and discredit his own Justice Department. I spent a lot of time traveling around the world. What do you think they’re thinking in Moscow? This is doing everything that Putin ever wanted — sowing doubt about whether or not our justice system is fair, sowing doubt about whether or not there is anything that is remotely consistent with our Constitution. It’s a disaster.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden said President Trump’s attacks on the FBI and Justice Department are doing “everything” that Russian President Vladimir Putin “ever wanted.”
