Whatever happened to motive? I know it’s not needed in a court of law but how about the court of common sense?
What motive would Putin have for wanting Trump to win?
He could have sat back and watched the Complete decline and end of the US under hitlery.
I am glad you see this clearly. His motive overall is to create chaos so as to weaken USA and “the West” and reclaim lost glory to avenge the fall of the Soviet Union and Russian Empire.
But also: to convince his countrymen that American democracy is a sham - lest they get the crazy idea they want something like it too. Had Hillary won, this would have proved his narrative that only the establishment wins.
