One of the first news outlets to carry Hillary Clintons interview with Rachel Maddow was the South China Morning Post
Hillary Clinton suggests: China, if youre listening, why dont you get Trumps tax returns?
(snip) Speaking with host Rachel Maddow, Clinton brought up the infamous moment when Donald Trump, then running against Clinton for the White House, asked for foreign help to acquire Clintons private emails, saying at a July 2016 news conference: Russia, if youre listening, I hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.
(snip) Clinton offered a hypothetical to Maddow: A Democratic candidate for the 2020 election comes on her show and says, China, if youre listening, why dont you get Trumps tax returns. Im sure our media would richly reward you.
(snip) She sarcastically added that if youre going to let Russia get away with what they did and are still doing
lets have a great power contest and lets get the Chinese in on the side of somebody else.
(snip) Trump is the first president in modern history who has not released his tax returns, citing an ongoing audit. But that hasnt stopped Democrats, who last month, requested six years of his returns from the IRS.

Now can anyone think of a reason why China might want Trump out of the Whitehouse? Lucky weve got such good, well funded defences of our elections isnt it?

(7,277 posts)that maybe it might not be a good idea after all to have the election open to hacking. And of course, its just pure coincidence that Biden said yesterday that the Chinese are not our competitors. I mean he had no idea what Secretary Clinton was going to say on TV. They never talk.
