They can pretty much count on it, or at least on the fact that there will be attempted hacking. Our elections show that foreign nations can advance their own interests by cyber warfare.

To be fair, I've been sick the last few days but also you weren't clear on what you meant. Remember the internet is about context. No need to get snarky over this.

No, he didn't come close to asking them to do anything, let alone hack.

So he didn't ask them to "find" anything? Am I reading that correctly?

He said "find". We have all found countless things without "hacking". Kind of like how the cops found all those emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop without hacking. It's called an "investigation". It's a big word, but I'm sure you know what it means. You investigate, and you find the location of something. Like, if you wanted my emails you'd ask around and find out my email address from someone I sent an email to. Then you'd know that my emails were on a server controlled by my email provider. Then after you found out where they were, you could get a court order (if the circumstances justified it) and read them.
You are comparing apples to oranges now. Cops and even forensic computer experts can find stuff without hacking. But they either find it open or go back in and piece things together. Some Russian like Trump asked would not find things this way. They would only be able to "find" it if it was leaked or hacked into. That is why everyone says he said they should hack into it. We all knew what he really meant. The data is encrypted and was in many cases dumped into an online recycle bin.

And I do not take that second sentence as sarcasm. I take it as a request to do something to garner recognition.
The only people who don't get sarcasm are humorless liberals. They only laugh when someone makes fun of conservative white guys. Everyone else is off limits in their myopic world.

Trump made people think he had all the answers to their problems (unemployment, unhappy with clinton etc.) He had middle class voters think he was the best candidate because he was a business man. He promised the elderly he wouldn't fiddle with their benefits but Ryan is itching to move against Medicare and Social security. I just hope it works out so we don't antagonize one of our "friends" and throw us into another endless war. Thisi country is war weary we have had enough of our money spent on war. The Russians did hack and I would be curious to see what the numbers would have been with out the disruption of the emails and Comey"s stunt. ...

He said it in the same tone and same way he played into the immigration comment of Mexico is sending us its worse. That didn't sound sarcastic to me and I use sarcasm like it is water...

When some one claims "Secret" CIA assessment" I wonder how they got it if it is so "secret".

Their seems to a difference of opinion among the Intelligence agencies.

Keep in mind, the CIA deals in HUMINT (human Intelligence) and has little to do with dealing the actual cyber-security. THAT is done by the NSA (SIGENT, SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE) which is what cyber-security is all about.

"Well at least there will be an investigation"

What is that you say?

I thought all of your were AGAINST Congressional "investigations after the ones on Benghazi and hillary's emails!

"amazing how so many people accepted foreign powers hacking a particular candidates emails because it gave them insight."

I haven't a single person say they are FOR foreign hacking.

What I find is how many on the left "claim" Russia did this and Russia did that, when all I can find is that emails were made public and NOT SINGLE WORD FROM THE LEFT ON WHAT THE EMAILS SAY.

It is called "diversion"!

Not 1 single thing has been brought forth that Russia did ANYTHING to the voting machines or ballot counting etc.

It is ALL about the emails.
