Putin may be seeking revenge against Clinton. At least that’s the view among cyber-security experts.
Russia was behind the recent hack of the Democratic National Committee’s email server.
While Donald Trump’s bromance with Putin is well known — the two exchange admiring words — Putin’s hostility towards Clinton draws less attention.
U.S. officials say that Putin was stung by Clinton’s condemnation of Russia’s parliamentary elections, and had his anger communicated directly to Obama.
Putin and his advisers are also keenly aware that, even as she executed Obama’s “reset” policy with Russia, Clinton took a harder line toward Moscow than others in the administration.
Putin sees Clinton as a forceful proponent of “regime change” policies that the Russian leader considers a grave threat to his own survival.
“He was very upset and continued to be,” said Michael McFaul, who was U.S. ambassador to Moscow until early 2014. “One could speculate that this is his moment for payback.”
