"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.

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.

Words have meaning. The left doesn't need to exaggerate this to make it look bad.

bune wrote: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.

so he said the wrong state.. the guys have the same name practically. and, kaine's proposed 4 billion tax increase that trump was talking about when this happened (which of course isn't mentioned here), was the important thing. but hey..

and if we want to giggle at one candidate's alleged mental gaffes, let's not leave the other one out
