There is only one reason I can think that Russia would work to get Donald Trump elected. That would be to give cover to the clintons for the sale of uranium one. I think the results of the election surprised the hell out of the Russians. But it has kept the focus off the treason of the Clinton’s
I think it didn’t matter who Clinton’s opposition was. They just wanted to sew chaos in America, at least that’s what the prevailing thought was after the Facebook inquiry.
Unlike the establishment, Trump was not a snobbish politician who was bound to jump on anti-russia bandwagon.
So it was reasonable that Russians had a preference for him.
Or, they wanted a weaker Hillary, as the received wisdom was that Hillary would win. What exactly was this Roosky mischief sufficient, however, to put Donald over the top in enough places to carry the Electoral College?
