Mrs. Clinton then laid out a hypothetical to Ms. Maddow asking her to imagine a Democratic candidate for president coming on her show and saying: “China, if you’re listening, why don’t you get Trump’s tax returns. I’m sure our media would richly reward you.”
“Now, according to the Mueller report, that is not conspiracy because it’s done right out in the open,” Mrs. Clinton said.

“If you’re going to let Russia get away with what they did and are still doing,” Mrs. Clinton continued sarcastically, why not “have a great power contest and let’s get the Chinese in on the side of somebody else.”
“Just saying that shows how absurd the situation we find ourselves in,” she said.
