MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” panel lambasted the State Department for apparently being unable to locate the emails belonging to Bryan Pagliano, Hillary Clinton’s tech guru who set up her server.

On Wednesday’s show, co-host Mika Brzezinski attempted to read the news that the State Department was unable to locate the emails when the panel began to lambast the State Department, Clinton, and Pagliano. (RELATED: State Dept. Still Hasn’t Found Clinton IT Guru’s Emails)

Co-host Joe Scarborough interjected, “Wait, I’m sorry… You’re saying that the State Department is saying they can’t find emails from the guy that served as Hillary Clinton’s Senior Information technology staffer while she was Secretary of State?” (RELATED: MOOK JUKE REVEALED: Hillary’s Campaign Manager Held Political Adviser Role At Clinton State Dept.

Brzezinski, explaining what Pagliano had done while working for the State Department was again interrupted by Scarborough who said, “Of course, [Pagliano] is the guy that would be able to tell you the most about her e-mail account.”

“State officials say while he had an office e-mail account, they cannot find any of those records he would have turned over and continued to search for them,” Brzezinski said.

Scarborough again interrupted, “Wait, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to keep asking this question. It is not a rhetorical question… ‘How could this happen?'”

Later on in the panel’s discussion Scarborough asked Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, “Does it sound like a coincidence or does it cause you concern as Pulitzer prize winning reporter [that Pagliano’s emails, the man who set up Clinton’s email server were unlocatable]?”

Robinson replied, “I want to know more about it. I would want to find those emails if I were the State Department.”

Another panelist, Ben Ginsberg, a Republican strategist and lawyer said, “If anybody is going to be able to figure out how to get rid of emails which mortals are always told you can never get rid of, it would be the chief technology guy.”

Scarborough commented that the State Department was able to find emails belonging to “everybody else but the guy that is the chief technology guy that sets up her stuff.”

Brzezinksi replied, “It’s not good.”

Blasting away at the circumstances, Scarborough said, “What’s a judge going to say about this? What is the Justice Department going to say about this? What’s the FBI going to say about this? What is the FBI going to say about this? How did this happen?”

Ginsberg replied, “Whoops is not a defense.” Brzezinski agreed.
