The one glaring piece of information which stands out and overrides most of this is that the Russians could not have hacked the Republican primaries or made Trump the candidate. I suppose anything is possible, but I just can't see how.
I consider the issue of hacking to be separate, since that's an illegal activity. When it comes to other things like pumping facebook and other sites with fake anti-Hillary propaganda or anything related to Wikileaks - those are still legal activities and an exercise of free speech.
You do realize there is no such thing as free speech when it comes to foreign powers.
I don't know whether they broke laws or not. If there are not laws there should be. But as far as this incident is concerned it doesn't matter as it is unethical and disgusting behavior from a foreign power. It is certainly grounds for sanctions. And nobody in their right mind should vote for a politician with such a foundational flaw in his character as to act in such a manner.
