John Podesta appeared on Meet the Press today to discuss Russian hacking and how his emails became a big part of the campaign that ended up with his candidate losing.

Podesta revealed in this interview that the FBI has only spoken to him once about his email account being hacked. He told Chuck Todd this took place in early October, after the WikiLeaks dump began, and he hasn’t heard from them since. And it’s very clear to him that the letter from FBI Director James Comey was a big factor in Hillary Clinton‘s loss.

Todd asked him that “when the history of this election is written,” how much of the Democratic loss is about Russia and Comey as opposed to failures by the Clinton campaign to go into states like Wisconsin.

Podesta said Democrats want a full accounting of the election and while he did note the popular vote and how slim the margins were in key states, he did admit that there’s “no question” they made wrong decisions.
