Russia influenced the government through the same tools that Saudi Arabia and Israel have traditionally used to influence Democrats and Republicans alike.
1. Easily influenced for-profit media
2. Shady PACs
3. Shady corporate influence
4. Troll farms
Russia *did better* than the historical influencers because they only had to bribe one party mind you.
