Republicans now saying there is no way China is taking Trump's invitation to investigate Joe Biden seriously.

"You really think he was serious?" Rep. Jim Jordan told @GStephanopoulos this morning. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep-j…
“I doubt the China comment was serious," @RoyBlunt told @FaceTheNation. thehill.com/homenews/sunda…
We already know China took it seriously enough to issue a statement:
Meanwhile, we still don't know whether Trump admin officials have privately raised the idea of investigating Biden with Chinese officials.
Peter Navarro said Friday that he won't "confirm or deny" whether he "personally" raised investigating Joe Biden or his son during contacts with Chinese officials, @CNN reported. cnn.com/2019/10/04/pol…
And, most importantly, there is the example from the last election, which Republicans have conveniently forgotten.

If they read the Mueller Report (Volume I), they might have had their memory refreshed.
On July 27, 2016, Trump said publicly, "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

Was that a joke?
The Russians didn't appear to think so.

According to the Mueller report, "Within approximately five hours of Trump's statement, GRU officers targeted for the first time Clinton's personal office."
