#3 Purely speculation on my part, but:

I wonder if Putin is trolling the CIA here. Given the agency's focus on overthrowing Trump and their seeming ineffectiveness in other matters, I'm skeptical of their role in this.

#4 Putin knows this will enrage the Democrats here. He is their prime resource for money among many seeking to weaken this country. The Democrats have and are losing traditional revenue sources. Going further left to the people wanting and getting handouts are the poorest financial donors. Hillary turned to Putin for money and in turn she helped reduce the DNC revenue problems. Watch if a Democrat returns to power here the money stream will return and Russia will be in our good graces.

Talk about resistance. Putin has his hands full. He is not a Stalin. Russia has one of the most effective resistance moments of any country. He is not going to throw gas on a smoldering fire looking for fuel.

#5 It is an obligation to prevent these attacks and net those trying to make them no matter where it is.
