According to the Intelligence report, Putin ordered "a significant escalation" to undermine "the US-led liberal democratic order" by hacking Democratic Party individuals like Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta and releasing gained information as leaks via Wikileaks.
The report, from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence read;"We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia's goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump,"
"Russian efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election represent the most recent expression of Moscow's longstanding desire to undermine the US-led liberal democratic order, but these activities demonstrated a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort compared to previous operations,"
"Moscow's influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations -- such as cyberactivity -- with overt efforts by Russian government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries and paid social media users or 'trolls,' " the report continued.
"Before the election, Russian diplomats had already publicly denounced the US electoral process and were prepared to publicly call into question the validity of the results," the reported stated, adding that pro-Russian government bloggers had prepared a Twitter campaign on Election Night using the hashtag "#DemocracyRIP."
The report also noted that Russian TV's coverage of ''Secretary Clinton ... was consistently negative and focused on her leaked emails and accused her of corruption, poor physical and mental health, and ties to Islamic extremism."
"Putin most likely wanted to discredit Secretary Clinton because he has publicly blamed her since 2011 for inciting mass protests against his regime in late 2011 and early 2012, and because he holds a grudge for comments he almost certainly saw as disparaging him," the report said

Duh.
Damn Putin... he did this on personal agenda? Funny enough, trump is already president and supporting him. Trump should be very careful cos Putin can as well turn around and stab him in the back tmrw. I pray it happens
Long live LIB
Hillary was/is the best choice. Regardless. Everyone will see in due time. End of story. Furthermore. You naigas need to tend to your own corrupt affairs and stay out of the USA business, because you believe any and everything that you read about usa, whether it is fact or fiction.
I have never seen a man with insicerity of purpose like Obama. This guys is a mediocre. Clinton created 21 milion Jobs, Bush created 11 million and this daft guy called Obama created a paultry 6 million. He is pained cos he lost. Look at d stupid and childish act of expelling Russian diplomats at the last minute of his admin. As if USA dont live in Russsia. When d USA hacked Nigeria and other elections in Africa nko? Linda, I bet u, no matter how stupid a white man is, he will always do better than a black man. Trump sounds childish, but looking at how he assembles his team, u could tell the guy is has common sense.
Obama is really pained on d emergence of Trump as d presidnt, it's obvious he neva expected it. Buh plis mr man just tk a chil pill. Da same way ppl said d election was riged durin ur 2nd tenure is wats happening now. In clear terms it's called KARMA
