On the Russians impacting the American election:

1)  The wiki leaks was totally valid true information.   If the facts were unearthed by the Russians or Chinese hackers or Clinton whistle-blowers does it make it less true or have less impact  than it the same information was discovered by the NYT or Washington Post Bernstein/Woodward style?  The fact that the major American media choose not to dig into and reveal the pretty obvious mis-deeds of the Clintons is as big of a concern as the fact that the Russians were able to. 

2)  President Obama attempted to impact the Israeli election, the Brexit vote and now the French election.   His administration used the Hacking technics of the American security system to listen to phone calls made by members of the Trump campaign team and were able to leak them to the US media.
