Russian Reset Button

Russia's Lavarov and Hellary with the Reset Button

This morning in his press conference, Donald Trump said that, if it were Russia who had hacked into the DNC e-mail server ... but it "could have been China" ... but, "if it were Russia" ... he thinks that it probably also had previously hacked the 33,000 e-mails that were scrubbed from Hellary's server well over a year ago. Trump then went on to say that, if this were so, he hopes that Russia could find them and release them.

Oh no! Trump, according to the Hellary Clinton attack machine, is "almost a traitor" for encouraging Russia to hack into her server! This is so inane and illogical that these attack dogs look like puppies who have just had accidents all over the convention floor ... and this is illogical for two reasons:

1) - You can't encourage Russia to do something today that could only have occurred way in the past. This, to grammarians, is called tense confusion. If Russia did hack Hellary's e-mail server, then the damage had already been long-ago done ... it is not yet to be done ... and therefore Trump couldn't possibly be committing treason. He just wants Russia to release them, if it has them.

2) - And since Hellary has sworn under oath that these 33,000 e-mails were personal and had nothing to do with State Department operations or state secrets ... they just dealt with planning Chelsea's wedding and her yoga lessons. If there were no state secrets in this batch, then again why would Trump be treasonous for this suggestion? More appropriately, if, like most of us suspect, these e-mails have a lot to do with the Clinton Foundation's international "pay for play" scams, then the world ... and, in particular, American voters ... surely should know this fact. And Russia releasing these E-mails would be doing American voters a favor.

Besides, it's not like Trump was selling 20% of America's uranium production to Russia,  he was just hitting the proverbial "Reset" button.

Afterward: Also read: The Left Discovers Russia and Krauthammer's Comments ... also this morning's NY Times had as a headline that Trump was encouraging Russia to spy (future tense) on his opponent. Anyone who buys this spin is a real media lemming.

  1. It was an extremely inappropriate statement for someone who aspires to be POTUS.

    1. And selling 20% of U.S. uranium production to Russia for huge Clinton cash donations isn't extremely inappropriate? Come on ... don't you want to know what was in those deleted e-mails?
