The BBC recently held a town hall regarding "letting Russia in from the cold".  More respondents said yes after the debate.  If I may assume, perhaps the sentiment lies in how we view the different European countries each with their immigration policies and relate it to our own global thinking. 
The WH could lift the mystery of Russia with simple global view and strategy updates. The "meddling" may just become another source of information if the source does not appear "disconnected" from domestic ideology. One could argue Russia did the job for the American fourth estate to set a new direction. It is what they voted for.
