A prelude to the story:
We all know this is a smokescreen driven by liberals to undermine the election after the recount went bust.
That said, look at it from another viewpoint. Russia has always been a foe of the United States even going back to WWII. An uneasy alliance took place only for the common good. Whatever they're for we're against and vice-versa.
There is no dispute Putin is a murdering thug. There is no other way to paint it. Those who criticize him are either shot or wind up in a pine box after a bout with polonium-210, a poisonous radioactive isotope.

God only knows how many people he had killed. But he always comes out on top because he's no fool. So put yourself in his shoes. Who would you rather have as president to face off with? Hillary Clinton who sold you uranium, serving Barry's third term, the guy you used for a doormat. Or deal with Donald Trump? So has Putin hacked the United States government? Sure he has. But to put Trump in the WH over Killary? That's a stretch I can't even imagine.
BTW...This article is from NBC. So it's no surprise the implication is Trump worked in concert with Putin to throw the election his way.
Guess Killary should have given him a better deal on our uranium.

US intelligence officials believe Russian president Vladimir Putin was personally involved in efforts to meddle in the US presidential election.
New intelligence reveals that Putin controlled the way hacked material from Democrats was leaked and used, two senior officials told NBC News.
The news came as the White House suggested President-elect Donald Trump knew Russia was interfering in the election.

President-elect Donald Trump knew that Russia was interfering in the US presidential election, the White House suggested this week. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest is pictured in October
An intelligence source told NBC News that Putin's involvement was initially a 'vendetta' against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and became an attempt to show corruption in US politics.
US intelligence agencies blamed the hack of the Democratic National Committee on Russia in October 2016.
Intelligence officials told NBC News the US now has intelligence that links the Russian president.
And on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest hinted that Trump knew about Russia's involvement.
He was filmed saying: 'There's ample evidence that was known long before the election, and even in most cases long before October, about the Trump campaign in Russia, everything from the Republican nominee himself calling on Russia to hack his opponent.
'It might be an indication that he was obviously aware and concluded, based on whatever facts or sources he was - he had available to him, that Russia was involved, and their involvement was having a negative impact on his opponent's campaign.'
White House: Trump 'obviously' knew Russia hacks were benefiting him
He continued: 'That's why he was encouraging them to keep doing it. You had the Republican nominee refer to the president of Russia as a strong leader.
'The Republican nominee chose a campaign chair that had had extensive, lucrative, personal, financial ties to the Kremlin and it was obvious to those who were covering the race that the hack and leak strategy that had been operationalized was not being equally applied to the two parties and to the two campaigns.'
The CIA has concluded with 'high confidence' that Russia sought to influence the U.S. election on behalf of Trump (pictured Wednesday)
'There was one side that was bearing the brunt of that strategy and another side that was clearly benefiting from it.'
The CIA has concluded with 'high confidence' that Russia sought to influence the U.S. election to benefit Trump.
Trump has rejected the CIA's conclusion that Russia tried to interfere with the presidential election and blamed 'very embarrassed' Democrats for the public release of the assessment.
The president-elect called the CIA's assessment 'ridiculous' while speaking to Fox News on Saturday.
On Wednesday, Republican senator Lindsey Graham told CNN Russian hackers had accessed his campaign email account.
He told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on 'The Situation Room': 'I do believe the Russians hacked into the (Democratic National Committee). I do believe they hacked into (John) Podesta's email account. They hacked into my campaign account.'
