More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.

Appearing on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports on Monday, longtime Democratic operative and Clinton adviser James Carville bizarrely claimed press coverage of the Hillary Clinton email scandal was just part of some right-wing plot: "All of this is just the same cockamamie stuff that we go through. The [New York] Times gets something from some right-wing talking points, they print the story....It's all about nothing."

Carville went off on a tagent: "The Times took right-wing talking points, wrote a story about mobile weapons lab they got from Dick Cheney, who cited the story on Meet the Press..." Host Andrea Mitchell tried to rein him in: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, James..." Carville continued: "I'm just making a larger point. They need to check out the stories before they take stuff."
