Hillary Clinton offered one of her most direct rebukes of President Trump in months on Thursday after Trump accused her of colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential election at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania Wednesday night.
At the rally Wednesday night, Trump told an arena of supporters that there was "collusion between Hillary, the Democrats and Russia" during the 2016 election, despite offering no evidence for his claim. An intelligence community assessment in 2017 concluded that Russia's efforts were aimed at undermining the Clinton campaign.
"There was a lot of collusion with them and Russia and lots of other people," Trump added during the rally.
"Seriously, you asked Russia to hack me on national television," Clinton responded in a tweet Thursday afternoon.
Seriously, you asked Russia to hack me on national television.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 11, 2018 Clinton's message referred to the president's comments at a news conference on the campaign trail in 2016, where he appeared to call on Russia directly to find emails supposedly deleted from Clinton's private email server used during her time at the State Department.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said at the time, adding: “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
The president has accused his former opponent of collusion with Russians before. In April, Trump quoted a Washington Post columnist who alleged that Clinton had sought compromising information on Trump from Russian sources during the campaign, which fact-checkers have found to be false.
"We already have a smoking gun about a campaign getting dirt on their opponent, it was Hillary Clinton," Trump tweeted at the time, quoting the writer. "How is it OK for Hillary Clinton to proactively seek dirt from the Russians but the Trump campaign met at the Russians request and that is bad?”
Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., responded to Clinton in his own tweet Thursday afternoon, accusing the Clinton campaign of consorting with "foreign agents" to fund the creation of Christopher Steele's unverified dossier of allegations about Trump's ties to Russia.
"You should really sit this one out," he added.
Your campaign and the DNC spent over $12,000,000.00 working with foreign agents to creat a fake dossier with them... you should really sit this one out.
Then again, keep going. Every time you talk we win. We appreciate the support.

Hillary needs to STH up. She’s got this cockeyed notion that she won by acclamation like they do in the Third World.
That’s not the way we elect presidents in America. Voters didnt want her as president. She needs to live with it.
We’re sick of her bloviating. This self-centered parasite loves the sound of her own voice. Out of power, she’s downright scary.
She’s got the nerve to cite America’s historic motto: “e pluribus unum.” “Out of many, one”......
That means One Nation, One People, One Goal.
It NEVER meant the monstrosity of “diversity” foisted on us by her and the power-mad Democrats.
Diversity is anti-American.
Its a bunch of self-serving hyphenates separated into factions with Third World mentalities.... ..trampling the oneness that is America.
How do you hack a server that’s already been destroyed. Or more precisely it’s already been “wiped with a clothe or something?”
Yep the Hill is the domain of the same clowns you see rioting in the street. Infantile, hysteric and rabidly ignorant. Average emotional age of the commentator on The Hill, based on reading the comments, is about 14 years old.
I kind of get the sense that something is coming down the pike. These people usually start screaming the loudest when they are cornered. Almost like they are daring someone of authority to come at them so they can then turn around and play the victim to weasel out of their mis-doings.
Ha! Ha! I REALLY like that image. Then after the last period after the last word.... the mirror breaks.
100% lie, her server was already off line when he made a joke about it.
No, not only that, he implied they already had them. I was watching.
Lock her up.
Cankles.....MSM tried going down that road during your FBI investigation. Didn’t work. Or did you forget? Just ask Bubba. He has a wonderful memory.
Seriously?
Bwahahahahaha!
Seriously, Hillary is sounding more and more hysterical, like Maxine Waters. They both are out of touch with reality, too much hate in their brains.
Trump was being sarcastic. The humorless Democrats do not get it.
All of the evidence relating to Russian collusion points to the Democrats, Obama, and Hillary Clinton.
Where exactly my are all those texts, emails and unredacted documents President Trump commanded be released? I know Kavanaugh happened but it has now been weeks since he ordered DOJ release these items
Someone please help me understand this. It is my understanding that the emails were intentionally DELETED, not missing. Why did Trump say they were missing, and no one brings up that they were deleted after they had been subpoenaed? What am I missing? This is driving me crazy.
The ‘rats know Trump was being sarcastic; they are hoping they can fool stupid people.
We now know that, while Clinton may have deleted them, recipient copies were found on Abedin/Weiner's laptop, and other backup copies were also found by the IG.
-PJ
They were in her server long before its existence was public. I am sure Russia, China, Iran and North Korea all have backups of her entire server.
Plus he was hoping Russia would do it not for his benefit, but so they waould get better coverage from the U.S. media. He was just a bystander with maybe a rooting interest because he thinks everyone should get fair press treatment.
They didn’t need to hack you since you gave them whatever they wanted for a few bucks in the Clinton Foundation.
So many falsehoods in this story, and not just hillary’s response.
Like “with no evidence” — a common line used almost exclusively do describe Trump’s tweets, as if every other person who writes 280 characters includes a bibliography.
And of course, there is ample evidence that her campaign paid Steele, and Steele used russian sources; this is not in dispute, even by Hillary.
And of course, Trump was joking. But worse, he didn’t even JOKE that they should “hack her”. He was saying teh Russians could find HER MISSING E_MAILS, the ones she was supposed to turn over, but instead they were ERASED.
In fact, there is no evidence that the Russians, or anybody else, really hacked any of Hillary’s e-mails (although the FBI said it would have been easy, so it could well have happened — but NONE of her e-mails were leaked). The e-mail hacking was the DNC server and Podesta’s server.
“You asked Russia to hack me on national television.”
THIS.
If ANYONE colluded with Russia, it was YOU.
