The FBI and Mueller are really dedicated to the delusion with those arrests coming I guess.
I have no problem with you not liking the DNC, but I do have a problem with you spouting off Trumper/alt-right/Russian talking points. The threat of Russia is very real, and so is the investigation. 
To argue in a different lane than benji, I think my problem with the Russia influence stuff is that it's been turned, as many other things, in a purely binary issue.
Now I do believe that the Russian state did conduct operations to help spread self-beneficial information & talking points during the US election, maybe up to the point of disinformation and "hostile" (to use a trendy word) tampering and falsification. I certainly can see how fostering dissent in the US could serve Russia. I don't see any reason to disagree with a lot of the experts and academics I heard on the issue who seem pretty confident Russia has an history of conducting such campaigns and that all signs points to them doing it again in 2016.
That being said the claims cover all the spectrum from promoting sympathetic viewpoints in Russian-aligned media through hacking voter rolls up to Trump being a real-life version of
The Americans and
the Mandchurian Candidate combined. It's hard for me to swallow just coopting such a wide gulf of allegations, including some fairly ludicrous ones, and tarring sensible skepticism with suspicions of being the useful idiots of alt-right communist Soviets doesn't seem like the healtiest thing to do. Not to get all up on you hunter, but the Nintex post you responded to didn't deny Russian involvement or the fact that some people on his campaign team may have been compromised by Russian state or business interests and was careful to frame the idea that Trump wasn't maybe 100% aware of all this within the light of currently known information.
Not to be rent-a-Chomsky either but it find it hard to deny there's a tendency in the Western world (both in the mainstream political discourse and in the press) to always paint Russian actions in the most nefarious ways and apply a jarring double-standard. There's also a clear tendency, not wholly unfounded, to just conflate Russian state and business interests and thus in this discussion, corruption & treason.
Some of the allegations made around the Trump team could, presented in a less harsh light, qualify "merely" as lobbying or run of the mill low key diplomatic talks. Likewise with the coverage by Sputnik / Russia Today (I mean, it's not like those outlets are covert about their ownership and overall bent). It doesn't mean those weren't problematic at some level but to echo Nintex posts, those might be adressed with better laws on political advertising or political discourse (a far cry from dogwhistling warlike speeches against Russia). Honestly, from my filthy Yuropean vantage point where elections are firmly and rigidly framed by the oppressive State, the US Presidential Election "season" looks like a total trainwreck in this regard.
Somewhat ironically, assuming such a form of near-omnipotence by Russia plays directly into their all-out effort to convince the world they're still massively relevant. It also, mechanically, robs the US citizens of their agency and downplays what's more worrying about the election, namely that enough voters didn't mind or agreed with all the terrible shit Trump peddled that he was able to win. The President is just one man that can be changed every four years, but you will be stuck with those "deplorables" (to say it quickly) being a major political force for quite some time.
I do hope the Mueller investigation will help us, the public, have a clearer idea of what happened, how and by whom so that the scope of discussion can at last be narrowed to something more specific. For instance in the case of Kushner wanting to open a backdoor diplomatic channel free of US control (!) or Donald Trump Jr. deciding to meet a lobbyist with the express belief he would be supplied with illegally acquired dirt, it would be interesting to see which party was really the instigator and which one was playing along.
