Of course you're right. But I am not an expert in the political system of the US and I am not at all interested in this. Nevertheless, I am a little aware of the events, so I can quickly figure out what's what if I need it.

Because this would have opened the whole can of worms for Putin, since it would have exposed Russian population to the differences between American capitalism vs European capitalism, how Russians have been duped back in the nineties, and how Russian Democrats have been thrown under the bus basically by American Democrats of the corporate variety ( Clintons first of all.)
