Clinton fires back at Trump: 'You asked Russia to hack me on national television'
The Hill ^ | 10/11/18 | JOHN BOWDEN

Posted on 10/12/2018 7:29:31 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

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.

No, Ms. Clinton. Trump made a joke and sarcastically implied the Democratic Media Complex wasn't doing their job in trying to track down your government emails that you deleted with impunity.

She has no sense of humor, sarcasm, or irony, that she is aware of...

Don Jr’s reply smacked her down pretty well:

Precisely, she is supposed to be from NY, and she couldn’t tell NY humor if it were stuck in her windpipe.

What a jerk she is!

She had the whole DNC-Media-Matrix behind her with all her flying monkeys and lost to a guy from Queens.

No, Trump said “find” the 30,000 emails she had refused to turn over. What he was implying, of course, was that major world players had already hacked into her illegal email server and said emails were lying in storage.

Seems like he wasn’t doing it “covertly” then, if he asked them on “national television” - NO collusion.

HA

She’s a disgrace to good women everywhere, a vindictive, psychopathic, idiot. Every word a true descriptor.

She really should serve time. For the good of the country, she should be convicted so that history will know that in this era these types of criminals can no longer get away with it.

Hillary thinks we’re all too stupid to know a joke when we hear one. Or maybe she’s just stupid. Either way, shut up Hillary.

“despite offering no evidence for his claim”

The Hill doesn’t care about lack of evidence regarding the Trump-Russia collusion but that does not stop them from reporting on it as it were a fact.

They are such damn hypocrites.

“Finding” 30,000 emails is DIFFERENT than “hacking” 30,000 emails....if you don’t understand the difference, Hillary, stick to baking cookies....you’d be MUCH more successful!
