how and why did russia succeed in intervening in an american presidential election on behalf of one of the candidates?
With the 2018 midterm elections set to begin little more than a month from now, Senator Warner says that’s still the big story, even if it’s in danger of being lost in a drumbeat of partisan name-calling.
“If you add up all of the money Russia spent interfering in our election; if you add on what they spent in the French elections, where Facebook took down 50,000 sites that were connected to Russia because they’d seen the Russian intervention, if you add up what they spent on the Dutch elections, where the Dutch hand-counted all of their ballots because they were so afraid of Russian intervention,” he tells me. “You add all that up and you’re still talking about less money than the cost of one new F-35 airplane.”

The U.S. official in charge of protecting American elections from hacking says the Russians successfully penetrated the voter registration rolls of several U.S. states prior to the 2016 presidential election.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Jeanette Manfra, the head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, said she couldn't talk about classified information publicly, but in 2016, "We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated."

The stolen docs had the only copy of mrs fields delish chocolate chip cookies, and the original copy of recipe here was lost. Nsa had to get those back. At any cost.
― Hunt3r, Friday, 9 February 2018 23:05 (six years ago) link
i confess that i'm a little confused by why the nsa would want to buy the stolen documents back from russia. sorry if i'm being naive but wouldn't the russians just make a copy of the documents? or it's some sort of special document that cannot be copied? or...the americans never made a copy in the first place so lost the original, only copy they had?

One tip-off was in Michael Flynn’s December 1 “allocution”—his signed submission to the court as part of his guilty plea to making false statements to the FBI on January 24, 2017. It received almost no media attention but suggested the nature of the criminal conspiracy that would likely be at the heart of Mueller’s prosecution.
Flynn didn’t just vaguely admit he lied. The law doesn’t allow that. He admitted in writing that his lie “had a material impact” on the FBI’s probe “into the existence of any links or coordination between individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and Russia’s efforts to intervene in the 2016 election.”
hurry up, mr. mueller!

It would be nice to think that Navalny has been allowed to persist because his profile in the West has risen too much....seems more like Putin has calculated that the public is now so inured to these crimes that he poses no real threat. New normals everywhere.
A couple months before that boat trip (June 2016) Victoria Nuland was asking congress for billion$ "to deploy an additional rotational Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) to Central and Eastern Europe; the prepositioning of combat equipment; as well as additional trainings and exercises in Europe."
