So Donald Trump, the man who calls himself the “law and order candidate,” effectively said at a Wednesday press conference that he “hope[s]” that Russia did, in fact, hack and steal the deleted emails of Hillary Clinton. The Republican candidate spoke from his Florida golf course today, where he alternated between attacking the Democratic National Committee for their email leak while fielding questions about the nature of his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Trump has offered glowing praise of the Russian president in the past, and today he denied a previous statement of his where he said that he once spent time with Putin. Trump’s relationship with Russia reentered the media spotlight with suggestions by Democratic officials and the FBI of the possibility that Russian hackers were responsible for the DNC breach. Trump and the Kremlin have both denied a connection with the hack and each other, and the mogul suggested to CNN’s Jim Acosta that he wants to work with Russia, though they probably have the national secrets held in Clinton’s lost emails: “If they hacked, they probably have her 33,000 emails. I hope they do,” Trump said. “They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted…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.” Donald Trump blasted Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for not conducting a press conference in 235 days, calling on the press to “check it out.” During his press conference in Doral, Florida, Trump said that is has been “235 days since Crooked Hillary Clinton has had a press conference, and you as reporters who give her all these glowing reports should ask yourselves why.” Donald Trump, Screen Grab MSNBC, 7-27-2016 “And I’ll tell you why because despite the nice platitudes, she’s been a mess. You look at what’s happened with ISIS, which isn’t even mentioned. You look at what’s happening with law and order. They don’t even mention our police. They mention everybody but our police. They don’t have an American flag on the dais until we started complaining. And then they ran up with two very small little flags, one that we saw.” “So you know, I put myself through your news conferences often, not that it’s fun. 235 days, no news conference for Hillary Clinton. You ought to check it out,” Trump said.
