Probably true, but not 100% ( or less) sure.
And as per State Department policy she had the judgement on what was a government record.
That's a peculiar policy. If it is required to turn over work related emails to the Department, and it is left to the judgment of the person who is required to return those emails . . . why even have the policy? Sort of like we hope you return the work related emails, but if you don't, well, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. thanks anyway.
As for Trump, even if it was sarcasm it would be seen as an invitation for a foreign government to interfere with a US election.
Now that is hilarious. Way funnier than Trump's sarcasm.
"Oh, look Ahmed, Trump is making sarcasm on Mrs. Clinton. This must mean he is inviting us to hack American government emails."
"Uh, Faisal, you do know that we've been hacking their emails for many years now? And we already hacked hers. I hear the Russians and the Chinese did too."
"Nooo, Ahmed. You cannot be saying that we have been breaking the law all these years. That would not be right. Surely Mohamet, may peace be upon him, would not condone such a thing. But I am sure that he would agree to it if Mr. Trump invites us to it."
"Faisal, your mother should have commanded you to blow yourself up in a crowded Paris nightclub. Then you would have been of some use. Sometimes, maybe often, you can be such a fool."
Yeah, it "would be seen" as an invitation by idiots and propagandists.
Because you so want to believe your beloved's portrayal of Trump as unreliable and lacking proper temperament, you fail to see how adroit he is at making his adversaries, including her, look like the ones who are the fools to average folks who will vote. On the stage that counts, he is calculating, and he is appealing to those who seem to be invisible to the "smart," Progressive minded folks. Most folks would not be aware, subliminally or consciously, of a so-called "invitation" to foreign countries to hack U.S. emails in Trump's comments. They would actually accept what he said in the way he intended it to be accepted.
But "smart" folks, like you, who desperately want him to be dumb, temperamental, treasonous, whacked, will twist his comments and concoct something that verifies how you all paint him to be, no matter how silly that is when actually examined. And you all are so "smart" you believe your concoction. At least you convince yourself to believe it.
His temperament is just fine. He is handling all the stuff thrown at him in ways that make his popularity grow.
It's yet another in a long string of reckless comments that demonstrate why he doesn't have the temperament to be POTUS.
