Krauthammer: Biden ‘Announced that He’s Ready’ if Hillary’s Indicted

>> Charles? What do you make of the Biden speech? What do you make of his decision?
>> I agree with you completely. It was a two-part speech with two parts, totally unconnected. I’m not running and then he gave what was obviously an announcement speech. So there are two explanations. Either like most journalists, he hates to throw away a work product. He had already written an announcement speech and said well I mighting a well use it. The other explanation I think is right. What he did with that speech. Which was essentially an announcement speech was to say I’m ready. I’m tanned, I’m rested. And if lightning strikes Hillary, meaning if the department of justice indicts her or something really out of the ordinary happens, and somehow she disappears, I just bought myself a stand-by ticket on air force one. So he’s first in line. There’s nothing he could have done as a candidate to depose her. Particularly after the debate. It was a 13-point swing in her standing against Sanders. But right now he’s waiting in line, if something happens, he’s just announced that he’s ready. And I think he would be the logical candidate. So he’s got the best of both worlds.
>> In the time we have left, how do you think his getting out now the next big event is the testimony, how do you think this sets Clinton up for her testimony before the Benghazi committee?
>> I don’t think it’s going to make any difference. Think she has the nomination. I think the race ended in the debate when Bernie Sanders said — we’re tired of hearing about your damn emails. That was a concession speech. He handed over his sword, it was over. It remains over. And Biden understood that. He’s not a dummy. He understands how, how the forces here were and he knew he had zero chance. I think this is all in the hands of the department of justice. It’s not in the hands of the of the Benghazi committee. They will determine the one in 100 chance that she follows
