Clinton past year gave the State Department roughly 30,000 work-related emails from the private storage device she used while serving as secretary. And there’s no concrete evidence yet that Russian Federation handed off the emails to those who leaked them.

“He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country”, Trump said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”. Federal Bureau of Investigation officials also said it is possible that Russian Federation or another foreign government might have hacked her unsecure email server and have copies of the deleted emails.
Analysts say the Kremlin would welcome a Trump victory in November because the wealthy NY businessman has repeatedly praised Putin, spoken of wanting to get along with Russian Federation, and has said he would consider an alliance with Moscow against Islamic State.
Amidst the din of politicians decrying Trump’s statements, what House Speaker Paul Ryan’s communications adviser told The Guardian is perhaps the best representation of the disconnect in the Republicans’ foreign policy stance during this election. “I think you’ll be rewarded mightily by our press”.
JACKSON: But here’s what he said in 2013 to MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts.
However, Kaine said he’s not laughing, and that he believes Trump’s comments were “temperamentally a disqualification for the office” of the presidency.
“I don’t think he has any respect for Clinton”. “And they don’t even know frankly if it’s Russian Federation”.
Trump said Thursday that his comments calling for a foreign hack on an American presidential candidate were “sarcastic”.
The Post parsed Trump’s appeal this way: “The Republican candidate for president has invited a hostile foreign power to conduct an unlawful cyberattack against his opponent and to make public emails she deemed personal and private”.
Clinton took the stage to roaring applause from flag-waving delegates on the final night of the Democratic convention, relishing her nomination as the first woman to lead a major USA political party. Then he knows nothing about it. And this is the Republican candidate for president. “Candidates are advised of the classified nature of the material”. “One of your best-rated shows in a long time”, Trump joked.
Trump suggested Democrats are attempting to use his comment to distract voters from the hack of the Democratic National Committee’s emails last week, an incident unrelated to Clinton’s email server scandal.
Trump is pointing out that we can’t see the emails because Hillary deleted them. The Cold War ended with Soviet collapse, but Putin is determined to reassert hegemony over the “near overseas”, the old Soviet republics, in his unrelenting campaign to restore Russia’s lost prestige. The Clinton campaign slammed his remarks as a “national security issue”. The FBI is probing the breach.
On Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said accusations of a Russian hand in hacking Democratic Party emails bordered on “total stupidity” and were motivated by anti-Russian sentiment. “Clearly the Kremlin feels it should and can insert itself into domestic politics in other countries in much the same way it believes the United States and Europe insert themselves into Russian politics”, Samuel Greene, the director of the Russia Institute at London’s King’s College, told Reuters.
Charging Trump for his comments about Russian Federation would “turn campaign fluff into a crime” and would be laughable, said Daniel Richman, a Columbia University law professor and former United States prosecutor.

“He looks at the world exclusively through the prism of business transactions, talking about allies as if they’re Atlantic City contractors that he can bilk”, said Chollet, who spoke out in favor of Clinton during her Democratic primary campaign against Sen.
