The candidate said at a press conference in Florida: "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. Let's see if that happens."

"PERHAPS HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. JUST A THEORY"

Following Trump's comments, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan offered tepid damnation, focusing on the foreign threat rather than his party's figurehead:

"Russia is a global menace led by a devious thug," Ryan said. "Putin should stay out of this election."

Meanwhile, retired U.S. Air Force general Michael Hayden, director of the NSA and CIA under president George W. Bush, criticized Trump's comments in an interview with Bloomberg View columnist Eli Lake.

"If he is talking about the State Department e-mails on her server, he is inviting a foreign intelligence service to steal sensitive American government information," Hayden said. "If he is talking about the allegedly private e-mails that she destroyed, he is inviting a foreign intelligence service to violate the privacy of an individual protected by the Fourth Amendment to the American Constitution."

"Perhaps he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just a theory," Hayden said.

No, he doesn't know what he is talking about. he is a spoiled rich kid that happens to be 70 years old.

(1) The E-mails in question no longer exist.

(2) The relevant server no longer exists.

(3) These very same people who are "deeply troubled" have ACCEPTED WITHOUT QUESTION HRC's claim that ALL of the 30 thousand deleted emails were PERSONAL AND UNRELATED to her duties as Secretary of State. So even if it was "the Russians" who outed DW-S and her disreputable campaign to sabotage Sanders' campaign, and even if they could successfully locate the emails in question, IT WOULD BE TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT, because they were about plans for a baby shower and similarly personal nonsense. "Deeply troubled." Bullshit.

(4) Trump was JOKING - being sarcastic - as anyone not wearing pink-colored blinders knows.

(5) This one off-hand, joking remark was the only thing that the Democrat operatives were able to come up with, from a 90 minute press conference, and several other public appearances by Trump.

At what point in this campaign season has ANY democrat been subjected to this sort of ridiculous, microscopic examination, with the obvious intention of finding SOMETHING - ANYTHING - that could potentially be used to discredit a candidate?

It is fucking ludicrous.

So does Hayden know something about what was ON Hillary Clinton's private email servers when he refers to "sensitive American government information", Jim? In that case start the legal process to indict Hillary Clinton because she would be in violation of Federal law.

LOL...the more you try to make an issue of this...the worse you make Clinton look!

So now your tactic is to flood this forum with meaningless drivel?
