Democrats are claiming that Trump told Russia to hack the DNC. What they are actually referring to was a campaign speech Trump gave after Hillary Clinton deleted 30,000 emails under subpoena from her illegal private server.

But take heart, she is going to be “speaking to activists” so they can finally tell her what to think about Israel. I feel better already.
