You can forget the Russians because that is a concoction of many desperate for something to get Trump on. I believe Trump was no more involved with Russians than Hillary was and if there was dirt on Trump available, from the Russians, to Hillary she would have taken it and run with it.
Do the Russians want to influence our elections? YES! Always have and always will just like every other nation for whatever reason benefits them. It's also no secret that our nation, America, the US, does the same and seeks to influence elections across the world for our own benefit. You will, as will everyone else, find out that there was no activities, by the Russians and no collusion involving Trump, that actually affected our US elections. What did effect our elections was Hillary's own actions and demeanor toward people. She just wasn't liked enough in her own party and there was enough baggage following her around that Trump was able to take advantage of it even with his own baggage trailing him.
As for the "Russian collusion" story or investigation it's the biggest waste of money and much ado about nothing that there has been. There's plenty to investigate but Russian collusion is not one of those things. Did Trump want a hotel in Moscow or Russia? I bet he did, from the standpoint of his own personal business interest, but I have no doubt Trump is as patriotically American as most other citizens and Muller's investigation will end up being downplayed and end up disappointing most who have some hopes there will be some smoking gun to crucify Trump with.
