"Why did Trump ask Russia about missing emails?". We get that a lot. We get that a lot because his comment was taken COMPLETELY out of context.
Here's a video of the whole July 27th, 2016 press conference from which the "Russia, please steal her emails" quote has been pulled. I'd ask that anyone truly interested in that quote watch the first 13-14 minutes. If you want to skip to the quote and miss all the context then feel free to jump to the 12:50 mark and also feel free to ignore any context beyond that which you're fed by Rachael Maddow and Adam Schiff. However, if you REALLY wantt o understand where the quote comes from then watch the entire first 14 minutes.
Trump mentions the DNC hack pretty much right off the bat. His comments go on until just before the 5 min mark and then he starts taking questions. The first question he gets is about the Clinton hack and he mentions that he heard Robbie Mook mention that it might have been him that did the hacking. Trump blew it off as a joke. At the 10:45 mark he talks about the DNC emails and how disturbing the comments were as well as how the fact that they were hacked was disrespectful to the USA.
At the 12:30 mark Trump takes a question from a reporter about Putin. He's already been asked other question about how he'll act with Putin. Trump gets a little riled up you can watch the comment cross his lips right then. It's pure sarcasm.
Hmm....
The OP relies primarily on an opinion by John Solomon.

Saying 'you arent that stupid' is perceived as an insult to you? Your comment on the other hand WAS stupid or intentionally dishonest. That would make you a liar. I dont know you well enough to know your character so I had to ask WHY you would make such a deliberately dishonest statement while trying to avoid what is a commonly known fact.
They quoted Ohr's actual testimony. Oh, and the story revealed just how much of a dirt bag Adam Schiff is
“I provided information to the FBI when I thought Christopher Steele was, as I said, desperate that Trump not be elected,” he added. “So, yes, of course I provided that to the FBI.”
When pressed why he would offer that information to the FBI, Ohr answered: “In case there might be any kind of bias or anything like that.” He added later, “So when I provided it to the FBI, I tried to be clear that this is source information, I don’t know how reliable it is. You’re going to have to check it out and be aware.”

"everything they had told him would have been ruled out as hearsay"
Clinton and the DNC used intermediaries to hire foreign agents to accumulate a dossier in an attempt to sway a US election and to overthrow the results of said election if Trump won. Fusion GPS was just one of those intermediaries. Nothing more. CLINTON and the DNC are responsible for Steele and the other foreign agents...not Fusion GPS. Steele is a foreign agent, the people he hired including the Russians are foreign agents. Clinton and the DNC colluded with foreign agents AND scum in the FBI to alter an election.Everything I wrote is true and verifiable. I stand by my comments.
And yes, questioning my intelligence is, in fact, very insulting, but I think you know that. If you can't be civil, pick a fight with someone else.

Theres your documented collusion. Lock her up...right?

Who said "without funding"? Which part of "Conservatives originally started this work. A law firm employed by the Clinton campaign, Perkins Coie, picked up the contract. Clinton did not hire Chrstopher Steele, Fusion GPS hired him because he was an expert in the field of Russion covert ops" did you not understand? Of COURSE they were paid, first by conservatives against Trump, then by Clinton's campaign. But Clinton herself did not hire Fusion GPS, the campaign's lawyers did. And Clinton did not hire Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS did.
Note that unlike you, I am refraining from personal insults here. The "you aren't that stupid" remark, repeated, was un-called for.
They didn't illegally obtain the FISA warrant.
Strongly disagree.
Steele was hired AFTER the Free Beacon terminated their contract with Fusion GPS.
Clinton Campaign, DNC paid for research that led to the dossier

You're strongly deluded.
No he wasn't. Steele was initially contracted when the client was a Republican. He didn't begin work on dossier until after the Perkins Coie took over the client role.
Ask me if I care what you think about my disagreement with another poster above...
There's the whackadoodle alt-right CT fantasy that's been thoroughly dicredited ad infinitum, but when one is as desperate as you I guess it "works" somehow in your feeble minded estimation of things. Not to rational folk though, so there's that.:lamo

Ohr talked to Congressional Investigators about Fusion GPS and Steele:
“I certainly told the FBI that Fusion GPS was working with, doing opposition research on Donald Trump,” Ohr told congressional investigators, adding that he warned the FBI that Steele expressed bias during their conversations.
Please flesh out the criminal acts without using any hearsay. Give the names of the alleged criminals and what laws they violated.
I thoroughly understand your affinity for an OP that tries to gaslight an existing Right Wing Conspiracy Theory.
As so often happens in the eyes of the beholder. Oh well.
ewwww, I wish you hadn't said that cuz now I have to ask you to show on what fronts the dossier has been shown to be true and you won't be able to. No one can.
What’s more, the Steele dossier itself has been deemed credible at the highest levels of the US intelligence community, to the point where both Presidents Obama and Trump were briefed on it before its existence was made public. Independent intelligence experts have pointed out that many of its claims — though not the pee tape — have been confirmed by subsequent investigations.
“Steele and his company appear serious and credible,” John Sipher, a 30-year veteran of the CIA, wrote at Slate in September. “Well before any public knowledge of these events, the [Steele dossier] identified multiple elements of the Russian operation including a cyber campaign, leaked documents related to Hillary Clinton, and meetings with Paul Manafort and other Trump affiliates to reportedly discuss the receipt of stolen documents.”

oh and before you post "wah wah Vox", you need to explain why the GOP platform on Ukraine was changed as predicted
"Parts of the dossier have been stood up and in places it looks prophetic. One Steele memo says the Kremlin was behind the hacking of DNC emails, claiming these were released via WikiLeaks for reasons of “plausible deniability”. In return, Trump agreed to “sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine” as a campaign issue and to raise “US/Nato defence commitments in the Baltics and eastern Europe” to deflect attention.
This is precisely what happened at the Republican National Convention last July, when language on the US’s commitment to Ukraine was mysteriously softened. Meanwhile, in a series of tweets, Trump questioned whether US allies were paying enough into Nato coffers.

You should find new sources of information because the current ones seem to have shielded you from the facts.
If it was just oppo research-you know, normal stuff-why did Hillary Clinton conceal the FACT that she paid for it? Why launder the money through Perkins Coie?
Further, why use an ex-British spy and get Russia to provide information that could alter an American election and spy on Trump's campaign?
Isn't that exactly what the Left's heads are exploding about now?
Why did Adam Schiff lie about Ohr's involvement ?

Yup, it's all just some Right wing CT fantasy..
