Clinton: ‘China, if you’re listening, why don’t you get Trump’s tax returns?’
The Politico ^ | May 1, 2019 | Bianca Quilantan

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night suggested that if the Justice Department was going to let Russia get away with interfering in the 2016 presidential election, it might be OK if one of the 2020 Democratic candidates enlisted China for help.

The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate offered a seemingly tongue-in-cheek hypothetical to Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC show.

“Imagine, Rachel, that you had one of the Democratic nominees for 2020 on your show, and that person said, you know, the only other adversary of ours who is anywhere near as good as the Russians is China,” Clinton told Maddow. “So why should Russia have all the fun? And since Russia is clearly backing Republicans, why don't we ask China to back us?”

“And not only that, China, if you're listening, why don't you get Trump's tax returns?” Clinton continued. “I'm sure our media would richly reward you."

Her phrasing echoed a statement by Donald Trump about Hillary Clinton’s emails during the 2016 campaign. “Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” he said at a July news conference in Florida. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Blasted for inviting a foreign power to interfere in an American election, Trump subsequently claimed he was not serious. However, the Mueller report indicated Russian hackers — clearly paying close attention to the U.S. campaign — did go after Clinton’s emails within hours of Trump’s remarks.

The IRS has leaked before. She’s just hoping more rogue agents will do her bidding.

One of many differences is that Hillary claimed (in one of her innumerable obvious lies) her emails did not exist. If she had been telling the truth, there would have been nothing to hack - and besides, every intelligence agency in the world must have already hacked her closet server. I’m guessing that was one of their first exercises in hacking school, just after printing “Hello World”.

Trump’s tax returns are there, but President Trump is a professional, so they cannot be hacked that easily.

Heh, if she wasn’t such an evil, stupid creature, it would be kinda funny.

I’m absolutely certain that 0bama has all of Trump’s tax returns through Koskinen or one of his other crooked minions at the IRS, and if there was anything that could hurt Trump, they’d have already been leaked everywhere.

What a leaden sense of humor. Always sounds a little off. As well as contrived.

You'd think this dumbass woman would learn that it's waaaay past time for her to shut her UGLY mouth.

It's only going to get worse for her and she seems to know it.

Yet, she keeps spewing.

......Hillary. It’s a *itch knowing you’re not loved or admired anymore.
Soon to be taken by a long time “health issue” that will keep her from testifying. *sniff*
