If this is true, I hope Obama does not sweep it under the rug to appease Russia. North Korea was sanctioned over hacking a movie studio. This will help determine the next president. Allowing autocracies to exploit partisan divisions in democracies sets a precedent that puts all democracies in danger.
It's a long way to even proving that the attacks originated from Russia, let alone that they had anything to do with the Russian government.
This is what Putin does, he tries to get leaders he can control into power. Look at Belarus, Lukashenko is controlled by Putin. All Putin would have to get Trump on board was let Trump's companies flood Russia's market with products and perhaps even control industries. Pay to play.
Lukashenko's not controlled by Putin. At best, he's trying to balance between him and the west. Belarus has refused to recognize the annexation of Crimea or the breakaway states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
