The latest attempt by the lying, Liberal (is that repetitive?) media to misrepresent what Trump said and distract attention from the Hillary email scandal.
Here is what he said:
Zitat“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 during a news conference. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
From that the Clinton campaign was able to conclude (and the NYT and other media outlets parroted):
ZitatThe Clinton campaign immediately accused Mr. Trump of both encouraging Russian espionage against the United States and meddling in domestic politics.
“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,” said Jake Sullivan, Mrs. Clinton’s chief foreign policy adviser. “This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue.”
This nonsense then gave rise to stupidity such as this: [From article comments]
ZitatWhat Mr. Trump just called for is a treasonous act! He is asking a foreign power to commit unlawful espionage on an American official. Not only should he be disqualified from becoming POTUS, he should be prosecuted

Isn't there a clear thinking Democrat left in this world? Not in this administration.
These Dems are just manipulative liars. Donald Trump is hardly in political danger from them though. He will dismiss their criticisms so swiftly. Trump didn't have to invite the Russians to hack into Hillary's emails. They have already done it! The Dems are trying to distract the people from any thought of how incredibly stupid it was for her to leave government secrets unprotected and essentially to invite any low level cyber snoop to stop in and have a look.
Donald Trump knows the Russians already have Hillary's emails so it's too late and frankly dishonest to pretend otherwise. Hillary as Secretary of State operated a candy store for foreign spies. How are Americans to ever trust her again? How can we possibly know for sure that she'll never be that stupid again? I mean, stupid is dangerous because it has so many different manifestations it's impossible to guard against them all.

Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentleman don’t apply here. Maybe a gentleman and “all-around nice Christian” would lead us to slaughter." Wayne Allyn Root
