“Why do I have to get involved with Putin? I have nothing to do with Putin. I’ve never spoken to him. I don’t know anything about him other than he will respect me. He doesn’t respect our president. And 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.”

Those are the words with which Donald Trump turned back on the Hillary Clinton’s campaign the jibes that it has been directing his way in respect of the emails that were either leaked or hacked from the Democratic National Committee.

Someone needs to keep Democrats honest .. No one should have to listen to them whine about it
I see Ryan is back to backstabbing our candidate. He’s cowardly, afraid of his own shadow, just toes the left media line out of habit now. He needs to lose.
If Putin turns anything over to the FBI he better keep a copy.
No-one on the planet can trust the FBI at this point.
Russia is obligated by treaty to turn them over to the FBI
It’s been speculated that Putin obtained the emails from the server from Guccifer, aka Lehar. Who knows?
