MSNBC’s Collins: ‘Conspiracy Theory,’ ‘Completely Bonkers’ To Worry About FBI Referencing ‘Insurance Policy’

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: “The insurance policy is this theory that has been pushed by Sean Hannity mostly, but also places like The Hill, places like Breitbart, places like RedState, and the goal of it is to say that the DNC, just bear with me here, the DNC hacked itself so just in case in 2019 if Donald Trump got elected in 2019, they could impeach him. That’s the premise of this conspiracy theory. And that’s why you see these sort of globetrotting missions from AG Barr, from Secretary Pompeo and things like that. They’re trying to retroactively fit evidence to fit this conspiracy theory, because if Russia didn’t hack the DNC, who did it? And in its stead is this Illuminati-like thing, it's like a global cabal, and it's the deep state. And they think that Joe Biden and Barack Obama and the Ukrainian Ambassador were all up to it and they put up this company called CrowdStrike, which was at the time a $3 billion company. They said that they put them up to it to frame the Russians. Again, this is completely bonkers. It's been debunked at every step. But the point of it is to absolve the Russians and to make it look like this deep state thing goes much deeper than you’d ever imagine.”
