Donald Trump Challenges Russia to Find Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails





DORAL, Fla. — Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he hoped Russia had hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, essentially sanctioning a foreign power’s cyberspying of a secretary of state’s correspondence.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, staring directly into the cameras. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Mr. Trump’s call was an extraordinary moment at a time when Russia is being accused of meddling in the U.S. presidential election. His comments came amid questions about the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computer servers, which researchers have concluded was likely the work of two Russian intelligence agencies.

I heard exactly what Trump said when he said it. His timing in light of the DNC hack is astounding. I really have no words.

They are U.S government communications that the Republican presidential candidate for President of the United States encouraged a foreign government to hack. Ronald Regan is rolling over in his grave.
