The hacking operation on the Democratic side was revealed to the public to influence the election in Donald Trump's favor, and the hacking of the Republicans, especially GOP leaders like Moscow Mitch, was done behind the scenes for the purposes of Kompromat and blackmail. And, in Moscow Mitch's case, I believe it began very early. How ealse do you explain his holding off on Merrick Garland ( he knew that the Russians would interfere on their behalf in 2016) as well as his refusal to sign a bipartisan declaration condemning Russian interference during the 2016 election?

Just on a sheer quantitative scale, I believe that Donald Trump has done more for Russia than Moscow Mitch - but Moscow Mitch sure comes in a close second.
