if it favours republicans? They can claim to not be involved in Russian illegality for the next 10 US elections and their base would buy it. Why wouldn't they want authoritarianism and anti-immigrant sentiment to go global? They don't want democracy and have been building one barrier after another to it for 40 years. They cultivate racism like it is a garden. Abortion and gun shootings too are issues never to be solved. That is evil. The only thing the GOP don't want is to get caught committing a crime. They don't care that a crime is taking place if it benefits them.
