Trump: Why Didn’t Obama Stop Hacking I Egged On?

On July 27, 2016, Trump famously said, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think that you’ll be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Mueller’s indictment states that later that very night, Russian hackers became much more brazen: they “attempted after hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton’s personal office. At or about the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton campaign.”

The Trump administration later claimed his invitation was a “joke” — a catch-all excuse for some of the president’s more inflammatory comments.

While the timing of Trump’s plea and the newfound Russian aggression could have been a coincidence, it’s easy enough to imagine that the hackers took the then-candidate’s challenge both seriously and literally.

In that case, Trump’s tweet was blaming Obama for a crime that Trump himself aided and abetted.

This truly is the “why are you hitting yourself?” presidency.

Busted!
