Doral, Florida (CNN)Donald Trump appeared to call on Russian hackers Wednesday to find 30,000 of Hillary Clinton's deleted emails, adding a stunning twist to the uproar over Moscow's alleged intervention in the presidential election

"They probably have her 33,000 emails. I hope they do. They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted because you'd see some beauties there. So let's see," Trump said at a news conference, referring to emails that Clinton judged as personal and did not hand over to the State Department from her private server, which she used to conduct official business.
The billionaire businessman then went even further, in remarks that left open the possibility that he would be open to Moscow staging a new hack against the United States to find the emails.
"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," Trump said during a news conference in Florida.
Trump's comments marked an unprecedented appeal to a foreign country to essentially launch an espionage operation against a political opponent. They come as Democrats gathering for their convention in Philadelphia are already grappling with a hack of emails at the Democratic National Committee, which were later posted on WikiLeaks.
Clinton's campaign argued Trump is jeopardizing national security with his appeal to Russia.
"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 Hillary for America senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan. "That's 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."
Trump rapid response director Steven Cheung pushed back on the notion that the GOP nominee had invited Russia to hack Clinton's emails.
He maintained that Trump had "absolutely not" done so. "What he intended was hand them over, yes. But inviting" goes too far, he said. "I think that's a completely ridiculous thing to say that he's inviting a country to hack a presidential candidates' emails."
Yet former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Leon Panetta took the comments as clear-cut, questioning Trump's loyalty to the United States in an interview CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
"No presidential candidate who's running to be president of the United States ought to be asking a foreign country, particularly Russia, to engage in hacking or intelligence efforts to try to determine what the Democratic candidate may or may not be doing," said Panetta, a Clinton ally.
"This just is beyond my own understanding of the responsibilities that candidates have to be loyal to their country and to their country alone, not to reach out to somebody like Putin and Russia, and try to engage them in an effort to try to, in effect, conduct a conspiracy against another party," he said.
Trump's comments represented a stunning twist in a controversy about Russia's alleged intervention in the presidential election after the release of DNC emails, which appeared to show that Democratic leaders were tilting the playing field against Clinton primary opponent Bernie Sanders.
US officials have said the emails were hacked from DNC servers in an operation originating in Russia that appeared to be linked to Moscow's intelligence agency.
Trump also claimed during his news conference that Russian President Vladimir Putin's lack of respect for the US prompted him to once use the "N word," implying that he was referring to President Barack Obama. There are no published reports to back up Trump's allegation about Putin's use of the racially derogatory term, however.
"I was shocked. Number one, he doesn't like him. Number two, he doesn't respect him," Trump said.
He called Russia's potential involvement in the hack another sign of Russia's "disrespect for our country."
Trump argued that US-Russia relations would be better under his presidency than if Clinton took charge of the Oval Office, saying he would treat Putin "firmly" but would seek to bolster ties between the US and Russia.

I expect Trump to burst into flames come October. I'll put him in a Jack-o-lantern. Come next Halloween we'll all be going, "Wow, that guy was the Republican candidate." Meanwhile, Hillary's email scandals will continue until the end of her term.

The spin this statement has received is insane.

 

He is joking about Dems saying Russia is behind everything for which is 0 proof and pointing out Hillary sending top secret emails from her bathroom and deleting 30k of them before handing over to the FBI.

 

Those deleted emails were al private according to Hillary so if they were to get hacked in the future and contain sensitive information and expose illegal activity she is the one that should go to prison for real this time.

Technically he isnt saying to hack her emails. He is saying if Russia hacked her server BEFORE Hillary and her staff deleted tens of thousands of emails so that investigators wouldnt have access to them that Russia should see if they got some from the dnc hacking.

 

The only way they would have emails is if she sent emails from her private server which she used for Gov business to a DNC server hosted email acct tho

Trump is so far ahead of the Democrats it's mind-boggling. They literally fall right into every single trap he sets for them...and the supposedly "brilliant" New Media Millenials handling their messaging don't have a clue. It's actually the first time I have repetedly laughed out loud at the incompetence of a major political campaign - though McCain's in 2008 was cringeworthy and almost as incompetent as Clinton's.

Actually there's all kinds of evidence that the hacks were done by Russian hackers.

Actually there aren't any evidence other than bunch of claims of this and that.

The only "proof" they say they have is that they found some cyrillic characters yeah yeah :lol: Very russian hackers from very russian secret service left very russian cyrillic characters open in front of everyone's eyes!!! Who would thought of that but those stupid russians left their fingerprints... Sarcasm. That's why I am more disgusted by so called democrats more than republicans. They are real disgrace to the holy ideas of democracy. Cheating against Bernie, lying non stop, twisting facts, using administrative resources for their own benefit. And Killary is pure evil POS.

Look, All the security people agree that this was a Russian State hack. Here's another article from before the leak.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/russian-government-hackers-penetrated-dnc-stole-opposition-research-on-trump/2016/06/14/cf006cb4-316e-11e6-8ff7-7b6c1998b7a0_story.html

There is never going to be "proof" in a case like this, but it's the concensus of most cyber-security experts that this is the work of Russian hackers. This was not a controversial theory until people decided it was damaging to Hillary Clinton.

I can't stand Trump, but in this case, the spin, media is giving, is insane as nobody can hack those emails anymore from Clinton as the servers are destroyed and locked in FBI's evidence locker. So only way Russia would have those emails would be if they had received them by hacking a long time before Trump said anything. And in case Russia has those emails it's definitely better for US if they give them for FBI as otherwise they could use them to blackmail Clinton. So it's better to send Clinton to jail than have her become a president that's blackmailed by the Russians.
