'China, if your listening' (and they are)

[crazytown]

One of the first news outlets to carry Hillary Clinton’s interview with Rachel Maddow was the South China Morning Post

Hillary Clinton suggests: ‘China, if you’re listening, why don’t you get Trump’s tax returns?’



(snip) Speaking with host Rachel Maddow, Clinton brought up the infamous moment when Donald Trump, then running against Clinton for the White House, asked for foreign help to acquire Clinton’s private emails, saying at a July 2016 news conference: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”

(snip) Clinton offered a hypothetical to Maddow: A Democratic candidate for the 2020 election comes on her show and says, “China, if you’re listening, why don’t you get Trump’s tax returns. I’m sure our media would richly reward you.”

(snip) She sarcastically added that “if you’re going to let Russia get away with what they did and are still doing … let’s have a great power contest and let’s get the Chinese in on the side of somebody else”.

(snip) Trump is the first president in modern history who has not released his tax returns, citing an ongoing audit. But that hasn’t stopped Democrats, who last month, requested six years of his returns from the IRS.

Now can anyone think of a reason why China might want Trump out of the Whitehouse? Lucky we’ve got such good, well funded defences of our elections isn’t it?

1. You know, if China was really smart and wanted to do some damage to Trump, they'd go after his

Senate protection, like Mitch McConnell.

2. But they'd never do that

that would be stealing

[ehrnst]

3. Yep.

4. Do you think the GOP might be having the first tiny inkling

that maybe it might not be a good idea after all to have the election open to hacking. And of course, it’s just pure coincidence that Biden said yesterday that the Chinese are not our competitors. I mean he had no idea what Secretary Clinton was going to say on TV. They never talk.
