Donald Trump invited Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails on Wednesday, asking them to find “the 30,000 emails that are missing” from the personal server she used during her time as secretary of state.
“It would be interesting to see, I will tell you this, Russia, if you're listening I hope you're 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.”
The discussion of Putin comes amid Democratic accusations that Russia was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee's emails. Trump said that's a "sideshow" to distract from the contents of the emails. Trump later suggested Russia or China could have been responsible for the hacks, but maintained that the culprit is unknown. The hack, he added, was a “total sign of disrespect.”
Trump added to his suggestions to Russia following the press conference via his Twitter account. "If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!," he tweeted.

We don't care who leaked or who hacked. Those should be discussions on another plane. What's important here is the content of the emails, which substantiate long-stated suspicions by many sources of the DNC's wrongdoings.
Not to forget Trump is PLAYING with this falsehood started, spread & perpetuated by the prodem media. Again he has "free" coverage. When will they learn?
Damn shame we depend on others and other counties to expose the government crooks in our own country. I thought we were leading the word in technology? In secrecy? In protection? Wheres the trillions we've spent on all these so called security departments? Flippin gov crooks all the way threw, top to bottom!!!
I have tried really hard to have respect for Trump I am a Republican and despise Hillary. However I am so disappointed in Trump. Today I watched on the news a clip of Trump a few years ago saying he had met Mr. Putin and liked him. Now in the present day he said he doesn't know him and has never met the guy. Is he going to be a liar like Hillary?? I am so flipping tired of emails and bashing each other.
I'm with 701...shore up your servers so they can't be hacked and conduct yourself properly so if they are, it's not an embarrassment.
Thought she said she had not been hacked.
