Trump’s praise for Russia raises national security concerns
There is strong evidence that Russian hackers were behind the leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee, a theft that amounts to blatant foreign intervention in us elections and a modern, high-tech version of the Watergate break-in of Democratic headquarters.

Some Russians went online to praise Trump, but mostly they expressed their mistrust in his statement, calling it “just words”. “But I think laying out the facts raises serious issues about Russian interference in our elections, in our democracy”, she stated.
“But now it is 2016, truth is stranger than fiction, and we finally have a presidential candidate, Donald Trump, with direct and indirect links to a foreign dictator, Vladimir Putin, whose policies he promotes”.
The convention closes Thursday night following Clinton’s acceptance speech, during which the former secretary of state will make the case that she is better fit to be commander-in-chief than Trump.
His brazen declaration Wednesday was clear and unequivocal: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing”.
TRUMP: I do have a relationship, and I can tell you that he’s very interested in what we’re doing here today. “I think you will be mightily rewarded by our press”.
Donald Trump’s flurry of offhand remarks and abrupt zingers on Russian Federation – praising Vladimir Putin, dismissing North Atlantic Treaty Organisation – have jolted the world, not to mention the US presidential campaign.
Stephanopoulos pressed Trump over previous claims he had a relationship with Putin, which he now denies.
Republicans scatter when Trump talks Russian Federation.
“You did say on three different occasions you had a relationship with him”. “I am pretty sure that any USA government will pay full respect to those decisions”.
Acknowledging that too many Americans feel that they’ve been left out and left behind by the economy and the government, Clinton said, “The kind of inflammatory answers that Trump has provided, blame somebody, blame immigrants, blame Muslims, blame women, blame somebody is attractive in the first instance to people who are looking for answers”.
The simplest explanation here would be that Trump’s penchant for saying outrageous things – a trait that served him well during the primary – is now getting him in trouble in the general election.
On only his third visit to an European Union nation this year, Putin attended the centenary commemoration of a chapel in the Julian Alps that was erected in honor of over 100 Russian and other World War I prisoners of war who died in an avalanche while building a mountain road for the Austrian army in 1915. “Why would I tell him what to do?” “I never met Putin”, he said.

But the latest – his invitation for America’s widely condemned rival Russian Federation to hack Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s emails – has crossed a new political Rubicon.
