Let me start with the obligatory, I do not particularly like Donald Trump, believe much of what he says or think his campaign was shinny clean. That being said I do like to listen to both facts and common sense, so let’s go:
There are a few key points to consider when thinking about the claims that the Trump Campaign for President of the United States in 2016 was seriously aided by the Russian Government:
There is certainly evidence that Russians (although not necessarily the Russian Federal Government) tried to manipulate various players and supporters of both the Clinton and Trump campaigns and to gain favor, but that is not illegal or even uncommon. To date there has been no hard evidence that Russian operatives colluded with the Trump Campaign.
I will not be shocked if something more damning comes out in the next few months but I suspect that if it does, it will be related to more clumsy handling of the Trump Campaign than an intentional act of treason.
The actions of the Trump Campaign and Presidency relating to Russian interference have been unacceptable to say the least. They seem to be of the opinion that even asking the questions undermines the Trump Presidency. Obviously, the Russiagate investigations (media, Muller…) have not been helpful to President Trump, but he should embrace the investigation not only to clear his name which will be forever in question without an airing of these grievances, but also to set the new standard for what does get defined as illegal interference in future elections.
Below is an interesting interview discussing the current known FACTS of the Russiagate issue with David Sanger, Steven F Cohen, and Fareed Zakaria. The most interesting section is about half way through when the history of the Russian troll farm in the news recently is explained as a for profit business:

Green Buses for Jewish Mafia Military Advisors Deployed in Easth Goutha? “As it happened in eastern Aleppo, the US/UK/France/KSA/Jordan/Israel are desperately trying to save their operatives from East Ghouta, mind that these countries supporting terrorists of the worst kinds had their operative for years in Ghouta where they performed 2013 CW attack, killed countless civilians, directed attacks toward Syrian bases and trained the terrorists in the use of advanced weapons. In Eastern Aleppo a deal was broken and their operatives left in busses from al Shahba park, windows shaded, few may remember those scenes. Same is happening right now, to make it happen, US/UK/France/KSA/Jordan/Israel will try to force their hands in a false flag to negotiate what they need, the same happened in Aleppo (UN convoy was destroyed by al Qaeda under US/UK/France direct orders). The UN knows every detail of it and never ever did anything about, only to complain about the Syrian Government, as the UN is doing now in Ghouta. Take a deep breath, these deals make anyone sick, these operatives deserve to be publicly paraded for the whole world know about them and the countries behind their support to global terrorism, and executed in public as foreign spies that killed innocent Syrian civilians.” (Canthama)
