I mean, I don't even care if they do because the US is the king of messing with other countries politics, I was just wondering what peoples actual serious opinions here are on the whole Russiagate thing outside of (rightfully) mocking liberals obsession with it.

Mostly just soft influencing, social media campaigns, some money laundering to fund political organizations they think fit their goals. However, I don’t think they’re doing it to a level that’s more than typical for a country with their level of resources. Which is to say, there’s a lot of countries influencing American politics and many of them are doing it more successfully than Russia.
