Why won't our media talk about WHY the Russians wanted Trump and Republican House members?

They talk about his damn tweets incessantly. They talk about his denial of Russian involvement and the intelligence agency's proof, but NEVER WHY?

Could it have been they know how damaging he and the Republicans will be for our country? How their full on Free Market with no regulations will crash our economy and weaken us severely?

I believe these had more to do with it than Putin was mad at Hillary which is what they have said!

Reason why the Russians/Putin hacked our election:

I would like to hear more reasons since this is probably the only discussion of this we will have since the MSM won't. The Plutocrats love this! Everyone else knows they will over-reach, including the Plutocrats! They will make money after the crash snapping up foreclosed properties and distressed businesses like they did after we bailed them out!

They are trying to bring about a reduction in our influence around the world. Mind you, a small part of that influence is OUR messing around in other countries elections. But it is way more than that too. Russia's (Putin's) real problem is our success in sanctions against Russia, enticing countries into NATO, and coordinating major international treaties like the Paris Climate Change agreement, and the Iran Nuclear deal.

He did it to primarily to damage Hillary.

Donald's election, like his candidacy, was a fantasy.
Come true.
