With an election season full of revelations coming at breakneck speed, The Onion’s latest parody headline about Hillary Clinton was almost too believable.
Clinton Staff Readies EMP Launch To Disable All Nation’s Electronic Devices https://t.co/qVzNxgA3ql pic.twitter.com/zjTPJyhhO9

According to the satirical newspaper, Clinton “told her staff Tuesday to ready the launch of several electromagnetic pulses to disable all of the nation’s electronic devices” so no one would be able to read any more about her emails.
“If there are additional leaks, I’m going to need you to head directly to the command center in the basement of our headquarters, input your security authorization, and turn the EMP launch key,” Clinton told her top advisors, according to the humor magazine. “The go word is ‘trustworthy.’”
