Grand Theft Convention.
No, that's not a new video game. But it is what we just saw Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump do to the Democrats and Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats and Hillary Clinton are helping him do it!
During about an hour-long news conference earlier Wednesday, Trump was asked repeatedly about allegations that the Russian government is behind the hacked and leaked Democratic National Committee's emails that embarrassed the party on the eve of their national convention in Philadelphia. Trump quickly pivoted to also discussing Clinton's private email-server controversy and the 30,000-plus emails the former Secretary of State had deleted from her private server under questionable explanations and circumstances.
Advantage Trump.
Then came the money quote, or the bait, when he said: "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."
That comment was sure to grab headlines all on its own, but then the Clinton campaign incredibly took the bait and had a top policy advisor respond with this statement: "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."
Advantage Trump.

“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.”
One could also go on that comment and ask how Obama helped fund Netanyahus opponent in Israel, except this being the president and not a presidential candidate.
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.”
Could this reporter, Jake Novak, be a Son of the late, Robert David Sanders “Bob” Novak
Trump just got the Clinton goons to ADMIT that those emails had NOTHING to do with Yoga and babysitting and are an issue of “National Security” so again, Hillary ROTTEN Clinton is a LIAR and now everyone knows it..Trump is a freakin GENIUS
ROFL. No, the media isn’t turning on the QBU. They just don’t like to look foolish.
I have a very strange feeling that in November Jill Stein is the Democrat nominee.
I cannot see the media having to deal with this for the next 4 months. She is a crook. They know she is a crook and if they support her and she loses, Trump is going to have a field day with his DOJ indicting everyone. And all the evidence is right out there in the open.
Russians like to see those great new YOGA workouts that Hillary said were in the emails
Maybe Trump can ask about what Obama meant about being “Flexible” when he was caught on a hot mic in 2012
He'd send an e-mail, ... to Hillary.
"Ceterum censeo Hillary esse delendam."
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
That he is
Did not Obama’s state department use taxpayer money and send advisers to Israel to undermine a certain candidate’s election over there? And the media is in a tizzy of possible foreign influences in our elections.
Hey DNC, the 1980s are calling and thry want their foriegn policy back. And don’t forget to look for Russians under your bed tonight.
Probably saving the uranium deal story for later.
It amazing that CNBC got it. Or course, I know several teenagers that would get it also.
Like the Russians wouldn’t dream of hacking the SOS emails unless Trump asked them to
Love it!
The media fell for it, but hours later, they’re slowly realizing even they were gamed.
