Appearing in
Salon, Simon Maloy
argues Trump has asked for Russian espionage to take place. He writes:
It’s not often you see a major-party presidential candidate invite a foreign power to commit espionage on an American public official, but that’s what we witnessed today as Donald Trump explicitly encouraged Russia to hack Hillary Clinton and release her emails.
What Trump actually said was:
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.
It's very clear to me Trump thinks the Russians have already done the hacking and have the complete file, he's merely inviting them to share the deleted emails the FBI couldn't access. What Maloy alleges is arrant nonsense.
