Another day another lie from you.

Trump told reporters last year that he had no idea who was responsible for the DNC and Podesta leaks. He also said that whoever was responsible for hacking into those accounts also likely had access to the thousands of messages previously stored on Clinton's private and unauthorized home brew State Department email server, including the 33,000 she deleted instead of turning over to the appropriate officials when she exited Foggy Bottom in 2013. "By the way, if they hacked, they probably have her 33,000 emails. I hope they do," Trump said in that July news conference. "They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted." He added, "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you can find the 33,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

Just because you forget things does not mean everyone else does.
Trump had no idea who was responsible, and pointed out that the hackers may also have hillarys "missing" emails.
"I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press" is in no way Trump offering a reward.
So are you just lying again or did you just forget?

No he said trump knew that Russia had done the hack. He didn't say trump knew they had Clintons emails. The hack was the DNC. He knew Russia had done that hit and he was telling them to continue. Get the Clinton emails too. Come on, don't go all stupid on the matter.

No you are just a straight up liar.
I posted the actual quote.
Trump himself offered no reward.
You are either very forgetful or a liar.
Which is it?

a reply to: shooterbrody

It's trump offering a reward. Please... And he did know it was Russia that hacked the DNC. Everybody knew but he continued to deny it.

a reply to: shooterbrody

Guess what words passed my lips when I read that shooter good buddy?

He couldn't very well say I'll reward you. Do you really think he thought the press would reward them? Get real. He was telling them he would reward them.

Carry on with your deceitful behavior.

I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.

is in no way this

He was telling them he would reward them.

No matter how many times you post that it is.
This is just another example of your dishonesty even when the actual information is presented to you.

In fact, he called on Russia to release Clinton's "missing emails." That bullying taunt will come back to haunt him.

And he already knew the FBI had recovered the deleted emails.

It was all over the MSM well before any "offers" from Russians.

Discord in the US is good for Russia.

Yes, claims such as calling anyone who wants to look at both sides for corruption a traitor certainly is discord that Russia likes.

Glad you finally admit it.

In all seriousness, this isn't surprising to me in the least. Discord in the US is good for Russia. The potential for this sort of asymmetrical information warfare is difficult to overstate, it's only going to get worse and I don't know that there's a damn thing we can do it about it except to hope that people smarten up.

Why do we need Russians? You're saying all the same stuff these bots are, so what exactly is the point of russian bots?

If a couple is arguing with each other are you going to jump in the middle of that argument?

Now, say you dont like either of the parties who are arguing. You decide to goad each party by supporting the argument of each person as they make their case, infuriating each party as you do so while doing it in a manner that the anger is only directed at each person of the couple. Eventually the couple hits a point where they implode, taking both parties down.

You then go back to your apartment knowing you wont have to hear from your neighbors again. On the off chance only 1 party member comes out of the mess they are in a weakened state that can be more easily manipulated.

Russia views the US as an enemy and as an obstacle. Its not relevant who we think Putin was supporting because the answer is Russia and not either party in the US. They dont care who or what party is in power. If they can keep each side going after each other, creating discord, it weakens the US by forcing us to concentrate on ourselves instead of whats occurring in the rest of the world.

It allows Russia to push their foreign policy goals with less US resistance or interference.
