Mrrzy, the Russians did phishing expedition on the French progressive campaign by asking for passwords to view a Macron document for two months and then stopped last month once they fooled enough people who gave up their passwords. They were inactive for a month and released a combination of fake news and internal content 4 minutes before midnight which was the deadline before campaigning was to stop and a news blackout law enforce prior to their election.

Why? The Russians do not want the West to be unified against a Russia who does not follow a democratic model of liberty equality or anti corruption sentiments. Russia simply does not want a united EU or NATO.

Imho Russia may have inadvertently made a more ruthless and dangerous Criminal leadership of the USA than they would want but that is future speculation.
