Exactly. It was plainly a joke, stated to remind everyone that Herself had a server that was wide open to the world with all of the classified data on it.

Leftists are utterly humorless, and tend toward rage most of the time...it is all part of being emotion-driven.

Some curious details here.

“It turns out that, in “late spring” 2016, the FBI’s then-director James Comey briefed the principals of the National Security Council on “the Page information.” “

“Most importantly, we know that Page was one of several American businessmen whom Russian intelligence operatives attempted to recruit in 2013.”

“Well, on March 21, 2016 — i.e., early spring — the Trump campaign announced the candidate’s foreign-policy advisory team. Trump had been spurned by the Republican foreign-policy clerisy and was under pressure to show that he had some advisers. So the campaign hastily put out a list of five little-known figures, including Page.”

“As I pointed out at the time, the memo by ranking member Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) let slip that the FBI had interviewed Carter Page in March 2016. (See Schiff Memo, p. 4 — the relevant footnote 10 is redacted.)

“Was the interview of Page a reaction to his joining the Trump campaign? Was it an effort to gauge whether Page was still a recruitment target?

So — was Page a spy in the campaign too?

It would be interesting to investigate to see if the fix was strictly against Trump or if there were contingency plans to take out any of the Republican candidates that emerged from the pack. I believe the Obama Administration mindset was to protect Hillary from her self inflicted wounds and ensure she was elected to cover all of the other scandals. And this included Berney.

McCarthy connects the dots to show when stuff started - after the fact.

I still think it was was Robby Mook who put MSM in saliva mode.

Very good article! McCarthy follows the evidence like a good investigator should. Glad to see some investigative journalism still exists. Not 100% conclusive, but definitely blows the media timeline narrative out of the water.
