Russia, while you're at it, will you please release Trump's tax returns?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2016/07/27/the-way-to-hurt-trump-is-to-ridicule-him/?wpisrc=nl_popns&wpmm=1

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press,” Donald Trump said, referring to messages deemed personal by Hillary Clinton and deleted from her private email server. To which Hillary Clinton replied, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find Trumps tax returns and his several divorce settlements and his many non-disclosure agreements with former employees. What, Donald, can’t they disclose this?”

Of course, Clinton said no such thing. Instead, the consistently humorless campaign failed to treat Trump as a buffoon and instead issued a flat-footed rebuttal: “This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent,” Clinton’s senior policy adviser, Jake Sullivan, said in a statement. He added later: “This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue.”

He's been going after Trump for years now!

ETA: Watch Trump's face! He's powerless and it's awesome.
