Russia succeeded because Trump accepted their help.

He was a willing accomplice

obtain their objective of electing Trump so he decided to help them out.

What was in it for him?

Did Putin give him a summer and a winter dacha?

does anyone believe that they did manage to manipulate some?


Specifically, the White House wanted congressional leaders to sign off on a bipartisan statement urging state and local officials to take federal help in protecting their voting-registration and balloting machines from Russian cyber-intrusions.

Though U.S. intelligence agencies were skeptical that hackers would be able to manipulate the election results in a systematic way, the White House feared that Russia would attempt to do so, sowing doubt about the fundamental mechanisms of democracy and potentially forcing a more dangerous confrontation between Washington and Moscow.
