Making Bernie Vice-President simply wouldn't have been a credible commitment to Bernie's values on the part of the prospective Clinton administration, because the role has no administrative authority. He would have wound up like Robert Reich in Bill Clinton's cabinet, an impotent progressive voice undermined at every turn by neoliberal values.

So the appointment didn't make sense for either side.

Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign

A quote from the book:

> That strategy had been set within twenty-four hours of her concession speech. Mook and Podesta assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.

Also regarding Comey leading the investigation, was he actually leading it?

Peter Zeidenberg was recently quoted by the AP as saying "It is an ongoing investigation; there is no possible way that Comey could a) know that Trump was cleared of any misconduct at this stage of the investigation..."

If Comey couldn't even know whether or not Trump was cleared of misconduct, how closely was he actually involved in the investigation? Similarly why was he out flying around giving speeches to law enforcement recruits if he was so directly involved in these important investigations?

Additionally , the new acting director has said there is "No effort to impede" the Russia investigation. And said that the investigation will continue.
