"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," Trump said during a news conference in Florida.
Shortly after his event ended, Trump repeated his call on Twitter.

The whole point of Wikileaks is the contents of the data, nothing about the election or who wins.
The content of those emails was never going to get Trump elected.
It should make people realize how corrupt our entire election process (and the people running the country) really is. (Are)
Everyone has already decided and rationalized who they are voting for. Conventions are one gigantic circle jerk.
Assange has spoken out directly against Hillary and is funded in part by Russia, so it's not an entirely unbiased act, but that doesn't change the party's behavior or the fact the Dems were never going to let Bernie win the nomination.
That's interesting. I was not aware of that, it certainly explains the timing.

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!
yes, trump clearly is requesting that putin spy on us.

Re: Election 2016
Let's clarify something:
30,000 missing emails = Hillary's servers
DNC hack = DNC servers
Trump asked Russia, who (allegedly) hacked the DNC, to go find Hillary's missing email, which were deleted by lawyers. These are two completely different events with two completely different actors and Trump is conflating the two by asking Russia (event 2) to go after Hillary (event 1).
If he knows what he's doing then it's treason. If he doesn't know then he's just an idiot, but an idiot who's running for President.

I know it's not treason, treason's a very difficult thing to prove and prosecute. But it looks good in print.

The individual who hacked Hillcat's private server stated he found evidence that state actors were already in there.

Sorry, I'm laughing at "Words have meaning" and thinking back on this election cycle. But you're right, words do have meaning and if the left does anything they should stick to using his words against him.
Seeing this get passed around on twitter. My what those Hillary supporters will say.

"Her running mate Tim Kaine, who by the way did a terrible job in New Jersey. ... He was not very popular in New Jersey," Trump said Wednesday. Tim Kaine was governor of Virginia from 2006-2010.
