This I have never understood. Of course Russia preferred Trump over Clinton. If for no other reason than Putin loathes Hillary. I don't care at all if a foreign power has a preference, I don't even care much if they express said preference. Direct interference is something else, but even in that scenario the candidate who benefits doesn't have to be involved in the actions nor are they to blame for the actions. I've said from the beginning, Russia helped Trump win but that doesn't mean Trump colluded with Russia to win.
