Russia to U.S., Trump: Sort out your own pre-election hacking scanda
reuters ^ | 7-28-16 | ANDREW OSBORN AND MARIA TSVETKOVA

Russia told the United States on Thursday to get to the bottom of a hacking scandal involving Democratic Party emails itself and rejected what Donald Trump said was a sarcastic suggestion that Moscow should dig up Hillary Clinton's "missing" emails.

Trump, the Republican Party's presidential candidate, angered Democrats on Wednesday by inviting Russia to unearth tens of thousands of emails from rival Clinton's tenure as U.S. secretary of state.

He spoke out after President Barack Obama said it was possible Russia might try to influence the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election after a leak of Democratic National Committee emails that experts blamed on Russian hackers.

Suggestions of Russian involvement have riled the Kremlin, which has categorically denied this and accused U.S. politicians of seeking to play on Cold War-style American fears of Moscow by fabricating stories for electoral purposes.

President Vladimir Putin has tried to avoid giving the impression of favoring any U.S. candidate, while hailing the populist Trump as being "very talented". Russian state TV coverage has tended to tilt towards Trump over Clinton.

Why do we have to depend on Russia to give us those emails ?

All of the major nations around the world have copies. The only major nation to claim they don’t have a copy is the United States.

But they actually debated in their Parliament whether to give them out?

It doesn’t speak well of China that after all that Hillary has done for China she doesn’t have their hackers’ support...

Nor for Russia’s appreciation for Clinton giving her support for the uranium she let them have.

I guess other countries have no problem double-crossing her, to their advantage.

The Russians are more upset with the Democrats for accusing them of having hacked their DNC than they are with anything Trump said - but you’ll never hear that in the MSM.....

In their own heavy-handed way, the Russians have a sense of humor completely lacking in our own media.

I’d like to ask a question to those who may have been paying more attention than I.

I’m pro-Trump, I will vote for him. But I just saw a mash up of Trump’s statements about Putin on Fox News (the one with Bret Baier.)

He made several statements about Putin, they all dealt with his relationship/or not with Putin. The clips (and I recognize they were clips and could have been taken out of context as they often do with Trump statements) made it seem like Trump was contradicting himself about if, or how well, he knew Putin.

Can anybody explain what that is all about? I can just see a negative commercial coming with those statements all linked together. Where they taken out of context, or has he changed his story over time?

I want to see President Trump ally with Russia, to wipe out our common enemy.

(I’m talking about ISIS-Not Hillary)

Obama is too muck muzzie to do it.

If there’s one thing the Russians are masters at, it’s intelligence. Their intelligence has always put ours to shame, even during the 80s. I still think the Soviet Union faked its own death

If you were watching anything on a news network, even fox, then you’ve been played, and haven’t been paying attention for, oh, the last 20 or 30 years.

You want to know what Trump said? You go to YouTube and see it in its entirety.
