I love seeing a good trolling. Proper trolling, not "Your mamma" insults or spamming or just outright insulting. Good trolling.
Trump is a master troll.
Okay so this is the breakdown:
When Congress was looking into Benghazi, they found that Clinton had a personal email and personal server that she was using for work and business. They asked for all of her work related emails. She objected, stalled and then deleted 30 000 of them before they when and confiscated her server. She did not just delete them, she washed them so they were irretrievable.
When quizzed, she said that they were personal emails and she was not instructed to give personal emails just work related emails. The 30 000 emails were supposedly emails to Chelsea and Bill (Bill admitted only ever using email twice in his life), mainly discussing yoga and wedding plans (for Chelsea's upcoming wedding). Naturally this sounded like COMPLETE bullshit. For a number of reasons. You do not triple wash the emails off the server so they are irretrievable IF they are something as mundane as wedding plans and yoga. Also 30 000 emails about yoga and wedding plans? That is hard to believe.
But that is what she said, and all with a casual shrug of the shoulders. It was suspected that the emails were likely classified ,and certainly work-related, or to do with the Clinton Foundation. Stuff that she deliberately wanted kept from Congress.
Recently she was investigated over the emails that WERE there and her use of the server. She dodged a bullet (as she always does) and came off looking incompetent at her job, which she is not in any longer, so who cares, right? They of course, never recovered the 30 000 emails.
Recently the Democratic National Committee was hacked and the content shared by our friends at Wikileaks. It showed that unlike their charter's request for impartiality and even-handedness, they screwed poor crazy Socialist, Bernie. It was dropped just before the Convention. The Head of the DNC resigned. Bernie Sander supporters were, and are still going mental.
Then if this wasn't bad enough, to throw the stink off them, the Democrats suggested Donald may have orchestrated this in league with the Russians. No, you can try to troll Donald but Donald is a Master troll. He rose to the occasion and gave a rambling address. This is what he said (paraphrased). See if you see why it was awesome.
He said that someone did obvious hack the DNC and he did not know who it was. He had no knowledge of it. It could be Russians or China, but someone did. However if they have hacked it and they have the emails from the DNC, look through to see if they have the missing 30 000 of Hillary's deleted emails. If so send them in because there would be some beauties and I am sure the press would reward you for your trouble.
Okay so this called an uproar and people are saying how terrible this is and that he has in effect asked Russian to perform hacking and whatever. Its stupid. But in the midst of this Hillary condemned it and said that those emails were a "national security risk".
Now going back, what emails are a national security risk? The emails that were missing. The 30 000 that were personal emails about yoga and wedding plans. Those emails. Remember how I said it was COMPLETE bullshit?
She has just admitted that she lied about what was on the emails (perjury) and in not handing them over (IF any of them were work related) she may have obstructed justice as well. IF any of these emails were classified and shared with DNC (which is what was hacked and were the emails under this scenario would be found) then there is possibly other charges related to the handling of classified information to unclassified people.
Master trolling.
But it gets better. A regularly sends some emails over the course of a couple of years to B. Then at one point A deletes some emails. C asks B if they could send all of A's emails that they later deleted.
You see the impossibility of the request? The obvious question.
"Which emails of the ones they sent to me did they delete?"
"I don't know. They deleted them"
As you know if I send you something fro my email on Monday and then delete it on Friday, it does not show up in your email as having now been deleted or deleted completely off my server.
So there is in fact no way for anyone to ACTUALLY do what he was asking anyhow.
So why say it? Because it sounds bad until you break it down and realise it had no substance. BUT in the meantime it has completely taken any focus off their beleaguered convention (which at this rate will mean that the poll bounce that they are really hoping for to counter the bounce that put Trump in the lead after his convention will be negligible) AND it spooked Hillary into an admission that casts a huge shadow over her.
He is a master troll.
