US Election Series: Trump’s Russia comments receive more scrutiny than Hillary’s emails

In this year’s election, Republican nominee Donald Trump and controversies have almost become synonymous, however, the mainstream American media sometimes focuses on something other than what deserves more attention. The media lately has been reeling about Mr. Trump’s latest comments on Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, where he calls on the Russians to find out the missing mails. He said, “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.”

While the media is focusing more on the appropriateness of Mr. Trump’s comments, it is largely ignoring the fact that the Russians or the Chinese or the Koreans could already have had the access to those emails, which should be considered as the security threat imposed on the country for which the Secretary of the State has been responsible. While we at FxWirePro, remain neutral in our stance towards the election we can’t stop ourselves from asking the question, could anybody else have survived after what Mrs. Hillary Clinton did by using a private email server.

After FBI recommended no charges against Mrs. Clinton but called her actions extremely reckless, the Clinton camp has tried several times to close the issue but we feel that this one is likely to keep haunting over and over again and the camp will remain under a constant fear that those email might be released by anonymous hackers.

First day of the Democratic convention has already been rocked by another leaked email scandals that showed the Democratic National Committee (DNC) played favoritism and tried to sabotage the campaign of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who ran against Hillary. Russian hackers have been blamed for the leak, which the country has denied saying that it doesn’t involve itself in the internal politics of another country.
