Daniel W. Drezner added,
You believe he was submitting a genuine, almost-formal work request for Russian intelligence to begin hacking activities?
I believe he was saying it the way a candidate would try to signal a SuperPAC that he can't coordinate with explicitly. But YMMV
I would think he'd be more likely to submit such a request privately rather than in an off-hand public remark, but yes, YMMV
Either way, it's not even close to being criminal. The 1st amendment protects non-sarcastic encouragement of crimes.
