Democratic National Convention 2016: Trump asks Russia to hack Hillary after they hacked DNC

  • 8 years ago
PHILADELPHIA — After a great RNC, you know the Russian National Convention, in Cleveland, the Democrats got off to a bit of a rocky start when the Democratic National Committee got hacked with over 20,000 emails stolen.

Although Wikileaks released them, it appears Russian Intelligence was behind the hack.

The actual convention itself was significantly more colorful than the Republican one. Sorry Hillary, but the best speech of the week was clearly delivered by Michelle Obama. Even Bernie Sanders dropped by for some words, but in the end Clinton was officially nominated the Democratic presidential candidate.

Donald Trump also decided to ask Russia to interfere in U.S. elections and conduct cyberespionage on Clinton. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.” And rather than blame Russia for the hack, he went with China.

It’s interesting how Trump seems to be able to talk tough to everyone except for Russia and his bromance go-to Vladimir Putin. They must have shared some really great times alone when they were in Manchuria together.

How will it all end? Stay tuned to find out.
