Joe Biden: “Either Mr. Trump which is possible doesn't understand -- I mean that sincerely, he's a bright guy, I'm not saying that…”

On the recordJune 8, 2016
Either Mr. Trump which is possible doesn't understand -- I mean that sincerely, he's a bright guy, I'm not saying that, not pretending. But he either doesn't understand because this is a realm in which he has never dealt before or he doesn't care, that it would border on an impeachable offense for a president actually to use the great powers of the office to attempt to undermine a federal judge by placing pressure on that judge in any case, especially one the president has in this case a personal financial stake.
