Hard to believe this is true. And I'm not sure that the vague term "sowing discord" is a valid legal issue.
Hillary/Obama and the entire DNC were deep, very deep, in Putin's pocket. Why would he then throw support to Trump, an unknown, who everyone thought was going to lose anyway?
The whole structure of the concept that Putin would support Trump over Hillary is a bizarre insane fantasy. It make no sense in any way whatsoever. Why? Why would Putin pay to shoot himself in the foot?
