Russia and most of the countries of the world were involved in trying to influence our election....just like the other elections, they want to influence who we elect. To be fair, most of the countries trying to influence the election were trying to get Hitlary elected. The Russian salad Trump connection is made up establishment bull****.

Issues with Russia started to heat up after the Ukraine events.
And the US is not lily white when it comes to meddling in other countries and trying to influence voting.
The US State Dept spent $350 million trying to influence Israel's vote.
The Russian-Trump connection came from that dossier that was prepared by a Democratic smear campaign company. Our government is using it as a framework for their investigations only they are running into brick walls trying to verify most of it, especially the passing of money between Trump and Russia.
Facebook is a worldwide advertising platform. How is it "interference" to use it as intended? Also, hasn't all the evidence showed that the Russian govermmemt preferred Hillary?
They could not prove collusion. They decided to leave that an open question.
Which means they have not completed their work one way or another. They may be waiting for results of the criminal investigation, and determining guilt or innocence is a matter for the courts.
At least we now have a formal official declaration from the Republican controlled Senate that the Russians did interfere. Although that may embarrass the president (he had wanted a mandate, not a dark cloud over his administration) this can no longer be derided as fake news and pitched to the gullible as a witch hunt.

It only too 5 years for anyone in Congress to acknowledge that.
The intelligence community was issuing warning and actions since 2012 and they all got ignored.
Mueller himself wanted to expel some Russians from the US and was denied.
We have instances of US media producing "fake news" as well against Trump.
So it's not just the Russians passing off fake news.
I'm not sure I'd call whatever you're referencing close to the same thing, but...
Ok?
