Trump's words were "Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing"[1]. In my view, interpreting that as a call to commit a crime is a stretch.

> [Trump claims the DNC did not turn over the hacked (physical) server to the FBI. And per this indictment it's clear it was a virtual server hosted in the cloud and at least Mueller's team does have quite a bit of forensic evidence to show how the theft occurred.]
Trump's claims are supported by Comey's testimony on March 20, 2017 that the FBI never got any kind of access, physical or virtual, to any DNC machine.
> HURD: [...] you have still been -- never been given access to any of the technical or the physical machines that were -- that were hacked by the Russians.
> COMEY: That's correct although we got the forensics from the pros that they hired which -- again, best practice is always to get access to the machines themselves, but this -- my folks tell me was an appropriate substitute.

- creaghpatr 8y agoThe FBI only stated that they believed Crowdstrike but they themselves never obtained or examined the server despite multiple attempts.
- mikeyouse 8y agoCrowdstrike imaged the server and the FBI absolutely had access to the imaged server -- The mindless conspiracy theory is that the FBI needed the physical server. > "The DNC coordinated with the FBI and federal intelligence agencies and provided everything they requested, including copies of DNC servers," Watson said. She added that the copy contains the same information as the physical server.
