U.S. Rep. David Cicilline (sihs-ihl-EE’-nee), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, sent a letter to Obama on Wednesday.
At a news conference hours earlier, Trump said he hoped that Russia would find emails deleted by Hillary Clinton from her time as secretary of state. He said: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”
Cicilline says Trump’s “call for hostile foreign action” goes beyond partisan politics and “represents a threat to the republic itself.”
Since 1952, Democratic and Republican presidential candidates have traditionally received intelligence briefings after securing their party’s nomination.
Naarisha congressman, take a hike, fool.
Talk like this, re-enforces why We should vote anti establishment.
its amazing how divided this country is, until congress can start working amongst themselves i don’t think they should be the ones deciding who to give and not give anything to
last i checked it was the democratic nominee that was reckless with security intel
In the interest of national security, Obummer should be impeached. Let’s not forget that ISIS (or ISIL as he insists on calling them) came into being as a result of his incompetence.
machshaifA hilLIARY SHOULD NOPT BE GIVENANY intel BECAUSE SHE GIVES IT TO THE MUSLIMS AND CHINESE!!!!
HEY NARISHA CONGRESSMAN
THE RUSSIANS HAVE THE EMAIL SINCE LAST YEAR
You just can not make this stuff up! Hillary set up a personal server in her basement and the FBI says that it’s a good bet that it was hacked. It had secret info on it. Hillary, the genius says no. The DNC was hacked, which was a more sophisticated system than Hillary’s. She had 30,000 emails deleted purposely. Trump heard that it was probably Russia that hacked the DNC and as a joke said, come on Putin, send us Hillary’s emails. In other words, if you did the hacking of the DNC, you would definitely been able to get into Hillary’s unsecured server so send us the emails that she had erased. I thought the same thing. The DNC is trying to get us to take our eyes off of Hillary’s neglect and incompetence. She is no good,
I guess he is afraid that he will leak secrets, and the next day say he was only sarcastic.
how utterly stupid and dishonest! Hillary is the one who who was caught illegally sending top secret emails on her private server, thereby threatening our national security!!!! If anyone shouldn’t be briefed, it’s her!!! Democrats are the most dishonest people on earth!!! How anyone could trust them is beyond me.
