How Russian intelligence officers interfered in the 2016 election--Why it could not be Ukraine

 60 Minutes had wonderful segments last night one being an explanation in some detail of the Russian hackers. It brought the issue into focus in particulars so one could see just who hacked the computers of the DNC and Democrats even on local levels. It showed the complexity of the Russian plan and how Russia was the only nation state with the understanding of espionage and ​had ​the huge institutional operation to do it. Russia after years of being a Communist state with a spy network already in place was the only state that could attempt such a feat. Russia had the means and the desire to throw an election to the best person to achieve their goals of re-establishing the Russian dominance over the US as well as take control again of its Eastern European empire after the fall of Communism in 1989.

Clearly there was NO way Ukraine was large enough nor did it have the huge ability and infrastructure it took as well as the historical reality of being an adversarial nation to the US to ever be able to perfect a presidential election hack nor would Ukraine want to nor could it perfect a takeover of the 2016 election as Russia did. Russia had institutions like the old KGB that they could call on and add to the ability to hack an entire election against the US. 60 Minutes showed the incontrovertible evidentiary truth of what happened in 2016.

Trump and his cronies including Giuliani with Nunes  we now know as a sidekick as well as others ​like the nefarious characters of Lev Panas and Igor Fruman indicted on violating campaign finance laws simply wanted to cast doubt on the upcoming 2020 Democratic leader Biden to win 2020 for Trump. Hear Democrats, too, as the ones who were hacked relate what happened from their angle. Is this Watergate II. Yes, it is except instead of a break into a building to steal secrets of the DNC it perpetrated it on modern computer systems with the ability to get vast piles of documents

and information.
