I will tell you this, Russia: If youre listening, I hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, the Republican nominee said at a news conference in Florida. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
Trumps comments set off an immediate uproar from the Clinton campaign, which blasted the remarks as a threat to national security.
This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent, Hillary for America policy adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement. "Thats not hyperbole, those are just the facts. This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue."

He did tweet at some point prior to the Wikileaks releases, so he had to have some awareness.
Although the Guccifer 2 hacker said he was giving the info to Wikileaks.
Truth will out

(21,742 posts)A young black man will be killed by police for literally no reason and nothing comes of it besides a grieving family.
But a billionaire asking help from a foreign country to fight a political opponent only serves to recruit our own FBI to do his dirty work.
