He thought it would be a good idea to say at a press conference and by way of Twitter that he hoped that Russia could hack into servers and find the 30,000 deleted emails. It has caused outrage and given the Democrats a good line of attack.
Look, I reckon I'd just write it off as a lame attempt to mock suggestions that there is complicity between Putin and Trump while getting in another dig at the email saga. But why would you go there? It was reckless at the very least. If you spot a landmine, you don't pick it up and play frisbee with it. Trump and Putin have been busy complimenting each other and Trump's campaign manager has also managed a pro-Russian Ukranian leader. There is also speculation that Trump's point blank refusal to release his tax returns may well be motivated by the desire to hide commercial interests in Russia. Trump has foreshadowed picking a and choosing which members of NATO he'd stand behind and recognising Russia's annexation of Crimea. Why would you fuel the fire? If this is how he runs a campaign, imagine how he'd run the country ...
There was nothing of strategic importance on the e-mails...at best the Russian's will have Hillary's shopping list.
...or was there?
