One of the best posts on why this does not help trump :
(Red color print is my emphasis.)
What your missing is that Trump doesn't need to be labeled as a Kremlin agent. Russia is unpopular as is Putin. Trump is clearly showing that he holds pro-Russian views. Trump may have tapped into alot of hidden sentiments in America, but I guarantee you pro-Russian will not be one of them.
No, Trump wants the 30,000 e-mails that were illegally deleted by Hillary Clinton to be found.
And he's an evil genius. He got the Clinton camp to concede that her e-mails posed a national security risk
Further, Russia can't hack anything right now. The basement Hillary! server is no longer in operation, so contrary to liberal heads spinning, Trump can't ask Russia to hack anything. If Russia does have the e-mails, however, they should release them to the FBI.
Finally, Trump has shifted the narrative from your DNC convention to a spat about e-mails, which Clinton is most vulnerable on.
Wrong.
Read the headlines on all the major media outlets.
The talk is that trump's words are "treacherous" and that trump's continued views and foreign policy suggestions, lean more and more "pro-Russian."
But that's the media! Americans hate the media!
