Clinton fires back at Trump: 'You asked Russia to hack me on national television'
The Hill ^ | 10/11/18 | JOHN BOWDEN

Posted on 10/12/2018 7:29:31 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Hillary Clinton offered one of her most direct rebukes of President Trump in months on Thursday after Trump accused her of colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential election at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania Wednesday night.

At the rally Wednesday night, Trump told an arena of supporters that there was "collusion between Hillary, the Democrats and Russia" during the 2016 election, despite offering no evidence for his claim. An intelligence community assessment in 2017 concluded that Russia's efforts were aimed at undermining the Clinton campaign.

"There was a lot of collusion with them and Russia and lots of other people," Trump added during the rally.

"Seriously, you asked Russia to hack me on national television," Clinton responded in a tweet Thursday afternoon.

Seriously, you asked Russia to hack me on national television.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 11, 2018 Clinton's message referred to the president's comments at a news conference on the campaign trail in 2016, where he appeared to call on Russia directly to find emails supposedly deleted from Clinton's private email server used during her time at the State Department.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said at the time, adding: “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

The president has accused his former opponent of collusion with Russians before. In April, Trump quoted a Washington Post columnist who alleged that Clinton had sought compromising information on Trump from Russian sources during the campaign, which fact-checkers have found to be false.

"We already have a smoking gun about a campaign getting dirt on their opponent, it was Hillary Clinton," Trump tweeted at the time, quoting the writer. "How is it OK for Hillary Clinton to proactively seek dirt from the Russians but the Trump campaign met at the Russians request and that is bad?”

Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., responded to Clinton in his own tweet Thursday afternoon, accusing the Clinton campaign of consorting with "foreign agents" to fund the creation of Christopher Steele's unverified dossier of allegations about Trump's ties to Russia.

"You should really sit this one out," he added.

Your campaign and the DNC spent over $12,000,000.00 working with foreign agents to creat a fake dossier with them... you should really sit this one out.

Then again, keep going. Every time you talk we win. We appreciate the support.

Hillary asked Russia to “reset#$%!@)” the relationship (or something). Seems Russia doesn’t listen to official requests, much less campaign jokes.

You need to give them something (i.e. uranium) to get them to cooperate, and Hillary knows that better than anyone.

Who do you think has given more Inaugural addresses to the bathroom mirror? Al Gore still? Or has Hillary caught up?

No, he did not. One sign of INSANITY is the inability to distinguish between modes of speaking: /straightforward/ironic/sarcastic/joking/going along with the crowd/repeating the party line/.

They really can’t understand Trump. He destroys all their modes of thinking. To the leftist mob, he shouldn’t exist.

It was a joke, and jokes are only funny if there is an element of truth to them, and you had deleted thousand of email from your illegal server, so there was plenty of truth.

Notice how Trump's joke about emails is being passed off as sincere, while Rosenstein's sincere comment about wearing a wire is being passed off as a joke?

We're supposed to believe that Democrat jokes are jokes, but Republican jokes are not.

Your criticism applies just as much to The Shill (Democrat propaganda outlet), that uncritically repeats Herself’s lie about Trump and fails to demonstrate even a third grade level of reading comprehension in analyzing Trump’s quote, while fatuously appending a “despite offering no evidence for his claim” to Trump’s statement when publicly available information shows it to be essentially true.

One of the reason GOD warns against sand prohibits the drinking of blood, especially the blood of traumatically aborted late term abortions, is that it effects speech, thinking and nerves.

Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

I used to think putting her in jail was best but having her out there showing her ass (sarcasm so don’t lose your breakfast) 24/7 and by extension taking down the dems at the same time is perhaps a far better remedy.

And HilLIARy asked a Russian company to manufacture dirt in a phony ‘dossier’ and paid $12 million for it.

And she must have liked what she got for her money, because she never complained that she paid $12 million and got nothing but phony info.

Or was that exactly what she asked for?

Why is this criminally insane woman speaking up these last 2 weeks...?

I am HOPING it is because they want to head off any coming indictment as ‘political payback’
