2. The second explanation—currently, and oddly, favored by non-comprehending pro-Trump commentators at Fox News and elsewhere—is that “Putin’s Kremlin” pumped anti-Trump “disinformation” into the American media, primarily through what became known as the Steele Dossier. As I pointed out nearly a year and a half ago, this makes no sense factually or logically. Nothing in the dossier suggests that any of its contents necessarily came from high-level Kremlin sources, as Steele claimed. Moreover, if Kremlin leader Putin so favored Trump, as a Russiagate premise insists, is it really plausible that underlings in the Kremlin would have risked Putin’s ire by furnishing Steele with anti-Trump “information”?

There is a TON of evidence that the Russians attempted to hurt Trump and help Hillary Clinton win the election!

The point is that point 2, above, and
3. The third possible explanation—one I have termed “Intelgate,” and that I explore in my recent book War With Russia?: From Putin & Ukraine to Trump & Russiagate—is that US intelligence agencies undertook an operation to damage, if not destroy, first the candidacy and then the presidency of Donald Trump.
are mutually exclusive only to someone who accepts the fraudulent conceit that Russians must have illicitly helped Trump or he wouldn’t have won.
Now it is true that hacking Podesta’s email was illegal. But that doesn’t mean it was done by the Russians; it might have been Seth Rich.

No need to get into all that, whatever it is, as it SHOULD BE an absolute no-brainer that the Russians would have much preferred a pathetically weak, "accommodating", Hillary Clinton in control. She no doubt would have continued the devastation of the Obama-Biden admin.

This, as opposed to a very strong on defense Trump-Pence team.

Obama-Biden-Hillary gave Putin everything he wanted and more in such critical areas as missile defense, the New Start nuke treaty, the Iran nuke deal, Uranium-One, etc, etc. So OF COURSE they (the Russians) would have wanted Hillary to win the election. Meanwhile, Obama-Biden damn near (purposely) dismantled our military!

Everyone knows, or should know, that the Russians are notorious for interfering in other countries' elections. Just ask the Ukrainians. The guy who ran against Putin's puppet in 2014 is still disfigured from an assassination by poison attempt.
