I'm almost 100% sure they were indeed kidding, and this article is part of a smear campaign. Since I'm pseudonymous here, though, I can promote that.

We're building up quite the laundry list of original files/documents I'd like to get my hands on.

I am 100% sure they were kidding, but

- they were "kidding" about serious allegations that they were uniquely in a position to investigate

- they were "kidding" about an existential threat to American democracy

- they were "kidding" about a potential scandal that, even then, clearly had far-reaching implications

- they ceased "kidding" about it - with shocking earnestness - as soon as they realized what their conversation would look like were it to come out

- they flatly denied it happened when the Washington Post said they'd heard about the conversation

- they stated the transcript was a fabrication when they were told it existed

- they said they were "kidding" as soon as the Post said they'd heard a recording

They know they should have done more. They were busted red-handed KNOWING they weren't doing what they were supposed to. And they deserve to burn.

It's entirely possible, but that doesn't lessen my enjoyment.
