YES, it was reported that they started out just to harm our confidence in our elections and to harm Hillary is what was in the intelligence report back in January on it....all partisan tripe....how do you think the Russians financed their entire operation?no, I don't think so....counter intelligence agents are the best of the best...can handle where ever the investigation leads...
our Treasury Dept investigators may also be involved.
The FBI has money laundering and bank fraud specialist it's not really a counterintelligence thing.

Spare change, I mean what do a few geeks and computers cost now days? Especially when they are targeting dumb asses like the DNC and Podesta. The FBI warned the DNC of cyber attacks against them and they did nothing about it. A bunch of the email released was dated after the initial FBI warning. Podesta fell for a simple phishing scam. Only the US would spend substantial amounts of money on such a simple operation.

try informing yourself on their whole operation...start with watching the congressional house and senate hearings in FULL...
I've watched a few of the hearings, Dems trying to score cheap points and republicans asking questions that can't be answered in an open forum. Watched the one with Comey and Rogers, and the one with Calper and Yates, didn't know a damn thing after I didn't know going in. Well except Comey verifying what everyone pretty much knew anyways.
BTW it's not all partisan hype.
(CNN)Federal investigators tried to warn the Democratic National Committee about a potential intrusion in their computer network months before the party moved to try to fix the problem, U.S. officials briefed on the probe tell CNN.
The revelation raises questions about whether the DNC could have done more to limit the damage done by hackers suspected of working for Russian intelligence.
The DNC brought in consultants from the private security firm CrowdStrike in April. And by the time suspected Russian hackers were kicked out of the DNC network in June, the hackers had been inside for about a year.

That means the Russins, if indeed it was them, had gained access to the DNC servers as early as April 2015, that was two months before Trump announced he was running. And had access a year before they hired Crowdstrike and they didn't get them out of their system till June 2016.

also, Trump's entrance in to the campaign on the golden escalator ride was not the day he decided to run...
