U.S. Rep. David Cicilline, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, sent a letter to Obama on Wednesday. […]

Cicilline says Trump’s “call for hostile foreign action” goes beyond partisan politics and “represents a threat to the republic itself.” …

That’s rich coming from a Democrat who just nominated Hillary Clinton.

Hillary on the other hand, who was careless with national security, deserves an intel briefing clearance.

Which shows Democrats don’t believe in applying rules across the board.

This attack on Trump is as absurd as it gets.

But give it to the one who sells the information to profit herself and family.

Per treaty, Russia is obligated to turn over documentation of criminal activity to the FBI. Reminding them of that is a plus.

Hillary was *careless* if you put the most favorable to Hillary spin on it. Far more likely that she was selling classified info.

Another idea stolen by the liberals from the GOP. It was the GOP who said this information should be kept away from Clintoon after the director of the FBI said that Clintoon was “extremely careless” and not “sophisticated”.

Extreme hypocrisy is their religion. Plus they are too stupid to realize that Trump is playing them like a top, that he got them to admit that 30,0000 missing emails is a threat to national security and they let the person responsible for it off the hook

Cicciweenie, threw him out of my back yard when he walked in uninvited to campaign for Mayor of Providence. Rhode Island is a mess because they vote for stupid people like this.

At a news conference hours earlier, Trump said he hoped that Russia would find emails deleted by Hillary Clinton from her time as secretary of state. He said: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."

He said that in the context of repeated questions ( actually accusations) from the press that Russia hacked the DNC. What he said was if they hacked the DNC then they probably hacked Hillary's email server and if they had the emails, they should turn them over. He and the rest of us would like to see them. That is hardly " a threat to the republic"

They have a lot of catching up to do, and Trump will remain a few steps ahead of them.

This guy, a Rep, is only following what Sen. Harry Reid said yesterday. Reid suggested that the CIA give Trump false intelligence briefings!
