"Events in the United States have unfolded more favorably than any operative in Moscow could have ever dreamed."
"But instead of complacently enjoying its triumph, Russia almost immediately set about replicating it. Boosting the Trump campaign was a tactic; #DemocracyRIP remains the larger objective."
