Why it's still in Russia's interest to mess with US politics

PARIS: Sweeping accusations that the Kremlin tried to sway the 2016 US election haven't chastened Russian trolls, hackers and spies — and might even have emboldened them.
US officials and tech companies say Russians have continued online activity targeted at American voters during the campaign for the Nov. 6 election, masquerading as US institutions and creating faux-American social media posts to aggravate tensions around issues like immigration and gun control.
Russia denies any interference. So far US authorities haven't announced any huge hacks or the kind of multipronged campaign suspected in the 2016 election, and it's hard to judge whether the more recent Russian actions have any link to the Kremlin or will have any electoral impact.
