Oh wait, are they?

Why sure, Trump. Those meddling Russians LOVE Hillary and wanted you gone. That is why they had their little basement dwelling buddy WikiLeaks pumping out as much dirt as he could dig up on Hillary every day.

Trump could tell his Trumpees that pigs fly, and they would have stiff necks from staring up at the sky.

Hillary was a pushover like Obama.

Trump wanted increased military, increased oil and gas production in America, a way stronger economy -- not good for Russia.

The new investigation into Fusion GPS is making it pretty clear the Russians wanted to smear Trump. How deep,it,goes we won't know for a while.
I'm just wondering if it was the DNC that paid them -- Fusion refuses to say who paid them for all the Trump smears, but evidence is starting to show there's a democrat connection and a Kremlin connection.

The only thing true in your post is that she attempted to reset with Russia as did every president but Russia always responds with something like Crimea. Trump was prepared to reject the current sanctions imposed by congress but he didn't want the embarrassment of having a veto overridden in his first 6 months. Sure looks like the Russians wanted him, look at the level of dysfunction in our government and we haven't even faced a major problem.

The Russians got exactly what they hoped for. They knew, but putting Trump in there, that it would do at least three things:

1) It would cause an upheaval in our country and a deep divide in our population.

2) Trump would be kind to Russia. Even today, he will not admit that they had any involvement in our election process, even though everyone else on the planet has confirmed they did.

3) They knew Hillary was politically smart and would not take any of their BS. They knew Trump is a total newcomer to the international scene and he would make a lot of mistakes that would benefit them.

For Trump to say they didn't want to help him is just more of his tactics of diversion and deflection. The Russians knew what they were doing and did it well.
