Excuse what? What exactly is it that the Russians did that was so influential in the election? To the best of my knowledge all they did was hack the DNC and release some emails that showed some of the shady things that were being done. Is that what Hillary's so upset about? That the Russians let everyone know what she was doing? That seems like a pretty poor defense to me. "Yes, I colluded with the DNC to win the primary to the detriment of democracy... but no one was supposed to find out about it!" Maybe I'm missing something but that's a pretty ridiculous argument.
