So Russia helped against Clinton before and during the 2016 elections, but wanted to get caught? All to stir the water and to polarize the american people politically, at least that worked. Maybe someone will be sued, but it won't be Clinton.

"Defendants and their co-conspirators used their fictitious online personas to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump."

opinion, but worth reading:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/17/o...ons-trump.html


"If there were any lingering doubts that Russia’s intervention was aimed at harming Hillary Clinton’s campaign and bolstering Donald Trump’s, an internal directive quoted in the indictment spells it out explicitly: “use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump — we support them).”

"Friday’s indictment should serve as a reminder that Project Latkha didn’t merely aim to influence the outcome of the election, but also its tone, and Americans’ attitudes toward their own democratic institutions."

That obviously works well. Dividing people and introducing a rough tone..

I wonder where Russia elsewhere orchestrates people and politics.. most probably wherever possible. The internet sure makes it easier.
