Nothing. It's a false narrative to undermine Trump for 2020. It was immediately made up as soon as they realized Hillary would lose.

By being reporters (if you believe the Russians actually hacked the DNC servers... everyone ignores the uncontested Wikileaks drop revealing the CIA method of hacking and leaving "fingerprints" of Russia when they do)

This is what I always ask. They seem to admit that the Russians didn't alter the vote, just that they "spread disinformation".

To which I say: HRC had unprecedented MSM collaboration on her behalf which was obviously far more of an asset than "Russia" was for Trump.

By exposing to Democrats that the party officials had pre-determined that Hillary would win the nominations and worked toward making that a reality in their primary by trying to rig debates and votes against Bernie.

Apparently exposing fraud in a party's primary is considered a negative influence on an election.

That's the question I always ask, and never get a straight answer to. What did the Russians apparently do that the U.S. hasn't done in the elections of other nations? The other question I ask and never get a straight answer to is what specific evidence do they have? It's a dead horse as far as I'm concerned.

DNC says they were outrigged, and rigging an election is one of the few rights exclusively available to US citizens apparently

If you believe they were behind the Podesta and DNC hacks, they influenced the election by releasing true information about HRC.

Easier than talking about the content of the leaks.

They exposed the truth about the Democratic party. Pure and simple.

What is new about the Russians spreading disinformation in the US? It's a CENTURY-old practice. It's absolutely nothing new.

Do you want the Left's answer, the Right's answer, or the correct answer?

The liberals assume many Americans were too stupid not to be swayed by "Russian propaganda" -- perhaps a tacit admission that liberal propaganda was ineffective in this election cycle?

Short of the Russians casting votes illegally, there's nothing to see. At some point, Democrats will need to acknowledge they put up a terrible candidate up for election and that terrible candidate lost.

Uh.. nothing?

Made up story floated by Hillary's team to cover for her losing the election. It's that simple.

They allegedly hacked the DNC database and released Podesta's emails through Wikileaks. Did it influence the election? Doubtful. Did they undermine the institution of the President? Only as much as the MSM is pushing this narrative.
