Donald Trump Calls on Russia to Find Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails
New York Times ^ | ASHLEY PARKER | JULY 27, 2016

Posted on 07/27/2016 11:25:52 AM PDT by RC one

DORAL, Fla. — Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he hoped Russia had hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, essentially encouraging an adversarial foreign power’s cyberspying on a secretary of state’s correspondence.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, staring directly into the cameras. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

What he actually said:

If it is Russia, which it's probably not, nobody knows who it is, but if it is Russia, It's really bad for a different reason. Because it shows how little respect they have for our country when they would hack into a major party and get everything.

But it would be interesting to see, I will tell you this, Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let's see if that happens, that will be next.

A.) He didn't call on them to hack anyone. He was commenting from the perspective that they had already hacked Hillary Clinton's unsecured server and had in their possession the 33,000 emails that were so potentially damaging that Hillary Clinton would go so far as to commit a felony to remove them from the national debate.

B.) If Russia does have these emails, it would most definitely be in America's best interest to see them released before Hillary Clinton weasels her way into the White House where those emails will become leverage against her.

If Russia has them, there's no way they will release them. They will wait to see if Hillary wins and use them against her. Hillary has been compromised and can be blackmailed. Guaranteed.

C.) It is also highly probable that whatever is in those emails implicates Barack Obama in impeachable offenses and would, therefore, also be useful leverage against him.

I don’t understand why liberals are so upset. Hillary said there was nothing top secret in the emails. They’re just about baby showers and family and friends stuff, right?

Oh who cares? Don't "enter their frame" by "defending" it. Anyone who doesn't have a stick up their ass can see it's the FUNNIEST DAMN THING IN A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN EVER!!

MIRTH my friends. MIRTH.

The important point is that if the Russians have the emails, that it is all moot because the cat is already out of the bag. It is no longer a national security issue — lets hope that our government was smart enough to do damage control after they discovered Hillary's private email server.

What it means is that it will be a huge embarrassment for Hillary and maybe even Comey and I am okay with that because we need a good vetting of the process. A little Spring cleaning is in order for our Republic to survive.

MSM is having a butthurt rage over this. Trump again throws a grenade out for them to jump on. They dutifully jump on it & make themselves look insane & Trump comes out further ahead then before he threw it.

Vote Trump 2016

Did he tell Putin that he could be more flexible after the election in a hot mic moment.

Oh wait that was Obama.

I think it should be talked about. What if Russia does have those "deleted" emails?

They are obviously incredibly sensitive or else Hillary wouldn't have committed a felony to delete them and the fact that AG Lynch let it slide suggests that Hillary was given a get out of jail free card from Obama so she could get rid of the evidence without personal risk. That suggests that those emails are also damaging to Obama.

So, again, what if Russia does have them? They would have blackmail material on a potential POTUS and a former POTUS.

Yes. You understand the relevance of time, place & functionability. The New York Times hires people who do not grasp such data hubs in analysis.

Mrs. Clinton's misused equipment, the last we knew, was hardly still on line. I believe that it was in a disassembled condition in an FBI crime lab. No one is going to be hacking it.

The issue, is whether the American people are going to be privileged to know, what foreign governments may already know about the illegal behavior of our former Secretary of State--the woman who was largely indifferent to the security of Americans serving their Government in Benghazi.

Once again, the New York Times demonstrates the two standout traits of its present character. It is completely biased, and largely incompetent. Not a good recommendation.

Are the Dems concerned that someone else has her emails?

As the President of the Urban Poverty Law Center I am authorized to offer a reward of $1,000,000 for the release of the 30,000 missing emails.

I have already been contacted by the Clinton Foundation!

Seems they will sell anything!

Believe it or not?

I think it's definitely still a national security issue. Those emails are almost certaon;y damning evidence of Hillary Clinton's criminal incompetence and corruption and I would bet dollars to doughnuts that they implicate Obama in impeachable offenses.

If she ends up POTUS, somebody, possibly Russia or other hostile foreign powers, will have that as leverage against a sitting POTUS and a former POTUS and that's a major national security issue.

This is also exactly the kind of tactics that the KGB employed against us in the cold war-getting dirt on government officials and then using it to blackmail them and Vlad was KGB.

And what about the reset button. According to Hillary, we were buddies with Russia again.

Comey and Lynch will probably investigate and charge Trump for advocating Russian espionage.

Excellent point. That is if Hillary gets elected. So if Russia has them, then they won't make them public and we'll never know except that, as president, Hillary will make “strange and contradictory” decisions and deals with our enemies and allies. No rhyme nor reason unless you realize that she is being blackmailed.

Damn. Major Damn. And the Democrats, Obama, Comey, all are not stopping her from becoming POTUS.

Thinking about it a bit more, it is actually better for the US if they release the emails now versus later.

Hilarious. Comey lays out The Beast's violations of the Espionage Act but sat on his hands. Donald is such a troll. Press and commentariat running around in circles with ergot poisoning.
