Trump calls for Russia to hack Clinton

Donald Trump has a message for Russia: Find Hillary Clinton's emails.

In a press conference Wednesday, the Republican presidential nominee said the missing emails from Clinton's private server would reveal "some beauties."

He then issued a plea: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."

Clinton's campaign has said that Russia hacked computers belonging to the Democratic National Convention and released those emails on the eve of the party's convention to benefit Trump's candidacy.

4. Anything that comes out of Putin's Russia is to be questioned.

No doubt it has been altered.

Trump is making a big mistake sucking up to that tin pot dictator.

5. Uh, the server's no longer online.

How are they supposed to hack into it?

6. Ask Trump.

He's the one who's calling for a foreign government to hack Hillary's emails.

[B2G]

7. I took that to mean he thinks they already have them

and is telling them to release them.

8. Either way he's encouraging espionage against the Secretary of State of the US. nt

10. Jesus.

Do his supporters not hear what he's saying?

[awoke_in_2003]

11. Yes, they do

and they love it. They hate Clintons period.

13. Clicked on this expecting an Onion article

He's trying to lose this thing.

I assumed the hacking and release would've been his Watergate.

14. He also doubled down on Twitter

If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!

15. Of course when he's called on his statement ...

he'll be quick to say he was only kidding.

And of course that really means this is a candidate America cannot take seriously.
