Its a question weve been asking since at least the summer of 2016 when donald trump and i had this exchange right after he asked russia to hack the emails of the democratic president ial candidate. You said the russians he has no respect. You said i welcome them to find those 30,000 emails. They probably have them. Id like to have them released. Does that not give you pause .
