That doesn’t make any sense. Why wouldn’t they be more anxious for Trump to win so Hillary couldn’t send her people over to the FBI, find out who investigated her and destroy them?
It’s the deep state, they always get even. First rule of deep state ‘never forget’.
Like everyone else, they believed the media and the polls. No one thought Trump had a chance. Including me, John Q. Public. That is what makes it seem plausible.
Well I think there were elements of a “hedge” going on inside the Intel agencies and FBI in particular. I think they thought Hillary Clinton would win, and some of them did want her to win but at the same time they wanted some element of control and autonomy; hence the email investigation among others. If Hillary won, and she tried to run roughshod over them they had the goods on her too. Stalemate. So ultimately they threw their weight behind her knowing they could control her to a degree just like the Chinese and Russians and others.
No way I ever believed that “The Russians” wanted Trump to win, they clearly had a lot invested in a Hillary victory with hundreds of millions flowing into her so-called charity (billions total from all over the world). They paid for Uranium One. They convinced her convince US and other technology companies to open shop in Skolkovo where it could be stolen by Russian spy agencies. She isn’t that gullible there was IMO a quid pro quo involved in that. She could be bought. She could be blackmailed. That’s good for our adversaries both foreign and domestic.
