What about a more complicated explanation?

Several different groups may have tried to influence the election. Some might have been within the Russian government and some might have been independent hackers working from home (around the world).

Their results may have been largely negligible. And they might not all have been in one direction.

Part of the motivation might have been just to kill time or see if you could do something or not.

In the grand scheme of things, it might not have been very significant. But the Democrats found out some details and are pushing the line as hard as they can because it could sound incriminating until people get a better sense of the real world scale of this activity.

I doubt that even a thousand people changed their vote because of anything they read from a Russian source, or failed to read because of interference. The issues were clear cut and there was no shortage of information readily available to help any voter figure out which of four main choices to support.

The Democrats are sore losers. They can’t believe they lost to a rank outsider with such obvious negatives. Perhaps the real hack was from the globalists who replaced an actual candidate (Bernie Sanders) with Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton could probably lose a presidential election to almost anyone given the existence of the electoral college, and her failure to find out about its existence in 2016.
