Something I have been wondering about; if the Russians have be cultivating Trump for years would it not have made sense to assist him in the primaries as well? It did seem the major, and more likely, contenders got knocked out quiet early in the primaries. Primaries have less oversight than a general election yet could be effected greater by hacking as insight into other candidates email or strategy could greatly change an primary election. It just doesn’t make sense to me to cultivate a candidate, sit back and roll the dice on the primaries hoping your guy wins, then reengage in the general election
