Top Russian Officials Discussed How to Influence Trump Aides Last Summer

They do try and get access, but officials do not have to get involved with them like Flynn and Manafort.

We are very fortunate that Hillary Clinton never succumbed to the evil influences of the Russians. Even though she was but one of numerous persons that signed over 1/5 of our Uranium and by some coincidence the only one to receive millions of dollars from the Russians- she held firm and did not allow any foreign influence unless an appropriate donation was received by her foundation.

Of course US politics pick sides in foreign democratic elections and conduct intelligence operations on all the candidates but do let us know when there's evidence of our intel agencies intentionally recruiting political insiders during a democratic election to undermine the process. Or when US intel conducted covert or overt information operations to influence the country's media perception. I mean even in Iraq US had it's preferred candidate we wanted to win the first democratic election in 2005 but I remember we went out of our way not to influence voters or give the perception of influence.
