Donald Trump

The establishment media is insisting today that Donald Trump asked dictator Vladimir Putin’s Russian hackers to break into Americans’ computers

But the plain text of Trump’s lengthy 10,000-word press conference today shows him repeatedly saying that the hackers — likely Russians — should release the emails they have already hacked from Hillary Clinton’s email server at the Department of State.

missing” — refers to emails that he thinks have already been hacked and stored away in some Russian server farm. 

Logically, Trump can’t be asking the Russian to hack emails tomorrow when they have already been hacked from sloppily protected U.S. So Trump’s media-magnified sentence — “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are computers, and then stashed away in a server in Siberia.

Trump also suggested that the Russians have already hacked emails from Obama’s Democratic National Committee.

When asked about the DNC emails, Trump repeatedly says Russia has likely already hacked emails from the DNC computers. According the transcript provided

But I watched this guy [Clinton campaign manager Robby] Mook and he talked aboutwe think it was Russia that hacked [the DNC computers]… assuming it’s Russia or China or one of the major countries and competitors, it’s a total sign of disrespect for our country … Why do I have to get involved with Putin? I have nothing to do with Putin. I’ve never spoken to him. I don’t know anything about him other than he will respect me …

When he was asked about Clinton’s missing 30,000 or 33,000 emails from her work at the Department of State, Trump repeatedly suggests that the Russians already hacked and stored the 30,000 taxpayer-owned emails.

Also, Clinton says her lawyers deleted those many emails, which means they are now literally impossible to hack in the future.  

So there’s no purpose or possibility of hacking already hacked (and deleted) emails. 

By the way, they hacked — they probably have her 33,000 e-mails. I hope they do. They probably have her 33,000 e-mails that she lost and deleted because you’d see some beauties there. So let’s see.

QUESTION: (inaudible) Putin (ph) say stay out? Why not say that?

TRUMP: Why do I have to (ph) get involved with Putin? I have nothing to do with Putin. I’ve never spoken to him. I don’t know anything about him other than he will respect me. He doesn’t respect our president. And if it is Russia — which it’s probably not, nobody knows who it is — but if it is Russia, it’s really bad for a different reason, because it shows how little respect they have for our country, when they would hack into a major party and get everything. But it would be interesting to see — I will tell you this — Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens. That’ll be next. Yes, sir…

So Trump accepts Clinton’s claim that the emails are deleted — and are thus impossible to hack.
