Why would the Russians prefer Trump over Clinton? The notion that Clinton would be "tougher" on the Russians is absurd. All Putin would need to do is write a check to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary would do whatever he asked.
The other question to ask is, if Russia had exposed Trump to be as corrupt as Clinton, would Putin now be considered a hero and nominated for the Nobel prize by the propaganda organs?
I heard Kellyanne Conway asking it last night.
“Why would the Russians prefer Trump over Clinton? “
They don’t. But to try to keep one up on the US, it would be advantageous for them to find out what Hilary was going to do ahead of time. They had already gained access to her private server and her stupid irresponsible actions concerning the movement and storage of sensitive info, to include high level messages, already. Cracking into the DNC was just the next step into gaining favorable info.
And ponder this, whose to say they didn’t sneak into the RNC system also? They just aren’t talking about that possibility as that has not been mentioned at all. And knowing the use of the hack was for political purposes to try to destroy the election, and not for security, the media certainly wouldn’t mention it because it would be counter productive to their efforts. Media scam alert.

That question arose last night and I pondered an answer. Suppose that the Russians obtained the emails and tried to use them to blackmail Clinton. Suppose that Clinton, an arrogant ass if there ever was one, refused to cooperate. Suppose she made it clear that if they wanted anything from her administration, they would have to pay, and of course it would be her administration because she is Hillary Clinton and she deserves it.
Suppose the Russians then released the emails.
There is no evidence to prove any of this. Alternatively, there is the same amount of evidence to prove it as there is to support any other theory.
