Democrats before: C'mon the email issue wasn't a big deal.

Democrats now: Treason! National Security!

Here's where trump made the comment: https://youtu.be/uAy0R8JOWMo?t=13m39s

By the way, he's not calling for hacking. The server is already offline.

Especially ironic because 4 years ago Obama was belittling the idea of Russia as a foe, now they are the Democrats new boogyman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1409sXBleg

Doubly ironic because it was Hillary that "pushed the reset button" with Russia - because (I guess) relations with them were so bad under Bush - but her team screwed up the translation: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7930047.stm

OH for godsakes. C'mon. No really, come on. Go look up what Russia has done in the Ukraine over the past 4 years, and explain to us all what has changed. Over the past 4 years.

Then explain to us all why you want to give Trump a pass for wanting to be in bed with Russia.

You'll need to add some context for the first sentence.

Regarding the 2nd sentence, go watch the press conference. Trump doesn't want to be in bed with Russia.

"Russia" is being thrown around by the Democrats (in McCarthyite fashion, I might add) to deflect from the troubling info that was in the DNC emails.

That one politician's words is receiving more attention in the media than another politician's deeds is quite telling.
