What Do You Think? Did Donald Trump Just Commit Treason?

July 27, 2016 - 2:00pm

Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's email.

"Russia, if you're listening I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press," Trump said during a news conference in Florida.

Shortly after his press conference event ended, Trump repeated his call on Twitter.

"If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!" Trump tweeted.
Clinton's campaign said Trump's comments amounted to encouraging "a foreign power to conduct espionage."

"This has to be the first time a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent," said Hillary for America senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan. "That's not hyperbole, those are just the facts. This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue."

Trump's comments represented a stunning twist in a controversy about Russia's alleged intervention in the presidential election after the release of Democratic Party emails, which appeared to show that party leaders were tilting the playing field against Clinton's Democratic primary opponent Bernie Sanders. U.S. officials have said the emails were hacked from DNC servers in an operation originating in Russia that appeared to be linked to Moscow's intelligence agency.

So, this is our question for you, our readers:

Did Donald Trump commit treason when he encouraged Russian hackers to find Hillary Clinton's missing emails?

How about the 5 Million e-mails that went missing from Bush/Cheny in 2007? Trump's followers love a racist, sexist, bigoted, self centered, narcissistic , cheating (on wives) and sub contractors on his "projects" pig. He plans on deporting 11 million "illegal" immigrants. Only morons would believe that. Remember what Hitler did during WWII to the Jews? Herr Trump? Trump is going to build a wall to keep the Mexicans out? Who is going to build it? His company? For how much money? BIG PROFIT MARGIN set into those numbers! Did he get that idea from Germany when they "built a wall separating" the East and West? The wall that the holy Reagan tore down? Again, you would have to be an idiot to buy that one. Trump's great idea of not allowing Muslims into this country.. So now he thinks insulting over 2 billion Mulims is a good idea when we should be reaching out to the Muslims to help rid us of the radical Islam terrorists. Again, the brain dead think that this is a good idea. I think that we should ask the Muslims to help us seek out the idiots that seemingly were scraped out from underneath the rocks by Trump and give them an education past the 2nd grade.

It is called sedition and it is a CRIME. If you or I stated the same, incarceration would be immediate. You really want to teach future generations that this is tolerated?

If they have them then they hacked the email server which is a cyber war crime. Trump is stupid face it

How. I watched the presser..he never asked Russia to hack Hillary's emails...he said if Russia stole them 4 years ago, we sure would like to have them back...this is another perfect example of Liberals and the MSM soiling their pants..knowing that Trump is going to win the General,,so they lie, and make crap up. Fortunately...the majority of Americans are fed up, and get it..no wonder only 6 % of the public trusts the media.. GO TRUMP GO!!!!

He should have said if you "(Russia), since you committed cyber warfare please give them to me so I can win". Also Plese do it before NOv. 8

This "poll" is the absolute dumbest thing this 'network' has pulled in a very long time!For ANYONE to believe any treason had been committed is tantamount to believing Alan Grayson is a choir boy! GET REAL PEOPLE OF EARTH!! If those who believe Trump is 'guilty' of treason, PLEASE, go ahead and vote now. Early birdbrain voting is now open to you! GO TRUMP!!

The QUESTION itself is ABSURD! He released NO harmful information. He simply made a statement that in reality had nothing to genuinely request that RUSSIA go after the "deleted emails". It was simply an open invitation to ANYONE who could find and release them would answer a lot of questions that still loom over Hillary's head. Good luck to WlkiLeaks, 'Anonymous", or ANYONE who might find them floating around on some Server anywhere in the world....

Trump said if Countries have clintons hacked emails to turn them over to our FBI. Look how the left calls this Treason. Hey left, if you know where the bad guy it is you're responsibility to call the Police or FBI and share your information. If You have evidence of a crime, again it is you're responsibility to contact the proper authorities, that's not treason, that's common sense and your duty.

You conveniently ignore his original statement in the press release" "Russia, if you're listening I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press," Note the word FIND, and the PRESS being the ones to reward him. This is not asking them to turn the documents they already have over the the FBI. What is not common sense is only reading the parts you want and ignoring both statements he made.

I could only vote "NO", because "Hell No" was not an option. :) Go Trump!!

And you probably look as stupid as you sound. Trump supporters... He committed a CRIME known as sedition. He's just Putins little nancy boy with tiny fingers

You want to see Treason.. look at Hillary or Obama.. dang idiots

Trump is not president yet but he already got Russia to be involved in our democratic process. Wake!!!!!!!! UP!!!!!!!!

You, sir, are an idiot. Just keep drinking your Clinton kool-aid and go and vote for her.

Morons(commenters). You think that Obama and Hillary are liberal? If I had been President instead of Obama, I'd have put Bush and Cheney on death row for treason. You only have the memory of a gnat (intelligence, too) so you have no recollection of who got us into the middle east mess and the economic mess In 1933, you'd be talking about Hitler's sense of humor.

Great comment! GO TRUMP!!

Really getting tried of the main stream media! That is what your poll is about - not about Hillary having her own server giving away secrets which is by definition treason.

Really and what secrets were on there? What country will he call on when he doesn't like the way things are going next? He'll let's just go ahead and make him a king so he can steal all our money next!

Well the white house was hacked , and many other Government departments were hacked but there is no proof Hilllary's was , maybe they didn't know about her set up maybe she was the most secure Donald blames them for the wars in the middle East which was started with Bush and Chaney's lies , which killed many from other nations belonging to Nato now he wants to ditch Nato who stood with USA in conflicts and cuddle up to Russia on one hand saying Obama & Hillary caused Bushes wars them they are too weak and should do more and get in there and fight more. You are blind and can not see or don't want to face the facts

Are the "private servers" that Bush and Cheney had "by your definition ...treason?" How about the 5million e-mails that went missing from their servers? How about the little to no coverage about those missing e-mails and the private server and private account(S) from the MSM? BTW. Doesn't that count as treason?

Hey Liz, do you just make this stuff up?? all of your "facts" are just made up fluff . . .no evidence of any kind. Actually, I should just go ahead and call your "facts" what they are . . . LIES~

Amen!! I agree with you.

The liberals and their lapdog media are so butt hurt they can't recognize a joke. Trump is just toying with them now.

If this is a "joke" when all evidence is already pointing to Russia hacking into the DNC computers, not only is that kind of statement not "presidential," it is downright treasonous. If someone views this serious situation as humorous, then I also question their ability for rational thinking. Trump is as funny as someone who mocks disabled people, spews hate and incites violence. Hardly humorous, certainly not rational or presidential.

What evidence? The Democrats put out the meme that it's from Russia to deflect away from the actual contents. It's what they do best, it's all in the emails already released.

In a mocking way he encouraged the Ruskies to find the 'missing tapes. Not only is his comments NOT treasonous, anyone believing it is, (I mean really) is a complete idiot! GO TRUMP!!

GO TRUMP !!!

GO TRUMP !!!

Dang - Liberals will believe anything.. ha ha what idiots..

You lot can give it but not take it Lock him up Put him in stripes Call him Crooked Donald My father always said give them enough rope and they will hang themselves, and he has ha ha
