There was a small fire near Hillary Clinton's house, and of course there's a conspiracy about it

In another effort to distract from Trump’s scandals, the far right insists the Clinton fire is something sinister

A small fire broke out on the property of Bill and Hillary Clinton in Chappaqua, New York on Wednesday. It lasted for just over half an hour, according to the local Journal News, and was easily extinguished. Neither Clinton was in the vicinity of the fire when it happened, and it left no one injured.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a straightforward, relatively unremarkable news story. But given that the far-right hates Hillary Clinton and is desperate for a distraction from Donald Trump's ongoing scandals, it's fertile breeding ground for conspiracy theories among online conservatives.

I want to believe that this Geraghty dude is just joking but his other tweets make him look like a Trumper.
But if he is serious, which is hard to believe, server wiping cloths...are flammable? I guess because it was about Hillary, they imagined a woman literally wiping a server with a piece of cloth. That is just something else...but maybe I'm not familiar with the IT language in English.
