Trump's sarcasm should have been obvious

I cannot believe the chutzpah of Sen. Claire McCaskell to suggest the obviously intended sarcasm of Trump's remark concerning the possibility of the Russians already having the missing emails that apparently no one else can find.

It was only weeks ago that the FBI chief came out and laid out the charges against Hillary, and then in what history will for sure constantly replay as one of the most criminal and politically motivated obfuscations of justice in our history, and the bias toward the rich and powerful of this country, said in their opinion Hillary wasn't smart enough to comprehend the illegal things she had done.

Amazing. Benghazi, lying about files with the State Department, having four personal computers for state business, erasing over 30,000 emails, ignoring subpoenas from Congress ... and Donald Trump cracks a joke, inappropriate joke, but no less a joke and Clair McCaskell is so much of a politician that she can come out and put herself in public like this?

These people do not deserve any responsibility higher than dogcatcher.
