Yes, Putin Set Out to Help Trump "Win"

''The
ebullient reaction among high-ranking Russian officials — including
some who U.S. officials believe had knowledge of the country’s cyber
campaign to interfere in the U.S. election — contributed to the U.S.
intelligence community’s assessment that Moscow’s efforts were aimed at least in part at helping Trump win the White House.'' - WAPO 



''The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system, according to officials briefed on the matter.''  WAPO



''“It
is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s goal here
was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,”
said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made
to U.S. senators. “That’s the consensus view.”  - WAPO



''The
CIA shared its latest assessment with key senators in a closed-door
briefing on Capitol Hill last week, in which agency officials cited a
growing body of intelligence from multiple sources. Agency briefers told the senators it was now “quite clear” that electing Trump was Russia’s goal . . . ''   - WAPO
