Many agents of the Russian government have been indicted or convicted for their roles in interfering in the 2016 election.
If Trump had been colluding with Russia, the motive for this interference would have been pretty straightforward: whatever Trump was offering them to help him would presumably had value to the groups doing the interference.
... but now it seems that Trump wasn't offering them anything. So why did they do it?
It seems that their reward really was just getting Trump into office, along with all the implications of this.
So which implications of getting Trump into office do you think provided the motive for these Russian agents? What do you think they expected Trump to do that created value for them?
