Trump asked Russia to release the deleted E-mails if they already had them. He wasn't asking them to hack anything. They couldn't possibly hack Hillary's server and all of the incriminating evidence it had, since it was already destroyed. Technically he was asking Russia to return stolen property.

And yes, the government DOES need probable cause linked to a specific crime in order to spy on an American citizen.

Also, I find the mental gymnastics you are displaying regarding what Trump meant by saying "Russia if you're listening" hilarious.  He could have meant many things.  And it was an unacceptable thing for him to say.
Imagine if Hillary had said, "Russia if you're listening you could do us a favor by releasing Trump's tax returns, or his businesses' tax returns, whether to your government or to ours," how would that make you feel, and why would that be any different?

He didn't use the work "hack" or any synonym. What he was asking for could not have been hacked. You and your pantsuited hero's followers use that term. Just because your girl's apologists want to claim something completely different from what was said doesn't make it so. An apple is not an orange.

As for your example, I wouldn't have made a big deal about such a statement from her, but then there would have been nothing new about that, since she had a history of selling a favorable deal to Russia while in US government service in exchange for fat speaking fees and donations to her charity slush fund. And your example is very different because the Federal government already had/has Trump's tax returns and his businesses' tax returns. This is completely different from you girl Hillary's "missing" E-mails, which were evidence the Federal government needed but never received.

If you want to play the "what if" game, what if you found out that GWB's FBI had placed a spy in the Obama campaign after accusing him publicly of (say) colluding with Iran? No problem? Using the FBI to spy on a political opponent is a huge abuse of power in either case.
