MSNBC host Chris Matthews was off and running on Tuesday’s Hardball, engaging in loony speculation that House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes’s claims about Trump surveillance could be fake, legitimate claims by Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash were false, and teed up Jennifer Palmieri’s sad excuses that Russia was why they lost the election.

In his first segment, Matthews floated a conspiracy that Nunes met someone on the White House grounds that could have been a former staffer to assist in concocting these claims about the Trump team being caught up in surveillance that, in Matthews’s book, just “looks like a masquerade.”
