   Well, first of all, not a shred of evidence has ever been produced of Russia even influencing the election. Online articles on RT hardly qualify. Nor has a shred of evidence ever been produced that Trump colluded with Russia in any way. This is after a year of investigation, if I remember correctly. Secondly, a foreign embassy is not a "spy compound." Conversing with foreign ambassadors is something political figures, including presidents, do because that is their job. The is the main reason we have foreign embassies in the US, and US foreign embassies abroad. Perhaps you'd like to provide links showing that Trump is "Giving russia access to key positions in our gvt. Sharing classified intel with them. Insulting and degrading the usa. Stripping america of her power and influence in the world." I don't believe any of this has ever occurred, outside your delusional system.

      The Russian diplomatic compound was seized, and 35 Russian diplomats expelled, because of allegations they were involved in hacking the US presidential election. Not a shred of proof has ever been produced that this occurred.

   Your question is floated on a false and factless premise.
   Donald Trump won the presidency from voters that wanted change from the traditional of both parties.
   
   They weren't happy with the Obama 8 years, nor the Bush(s) 12 years, and not Bill Clinton as well. There was no reason for these disgruntled voters to continue with tradition.
   
   HRC was the Obama successor, so why would they want another 4 or 8 years of Obama.
   
   It is clear from from the Stein and Johnson votes that most of the Bernie Sanders supporters didn't want to vote for HRC as they blamed her for Bernie dropping out of the race. The Russians nor any other foreign influence caused them to not vote for HRC.
   
   The republican party was not uniformly behind Donald Trump, so there is a question on how many republicans didn't vote for him.
   
   Another factor that caused HRC to lose the election by a landslide Electoral College victory was her lack of campaigning across the country. Trump won over 90% of the counties in the US, and that is what wins in the Electoral College.
   
   HRC supporters didn't change their vote from her for any reason. And that is evident in the democrat stronghold states of CA, NY and IL where she won the EC votes which accounted for 104 EC votes.
   
   So how did Russia or any other foreign country influence them to vote for Trump?
   
   HRC and the DNC spent $1.2 billion dollars in a Trump hate campaign instead of campaigning and spreading their goals to be accomplished in a democrat Hillary Clinton presidency. HRC didn't have any presidential goals other than saying it was her turn to be president. Her strategy was to claim the presidency for Women. Her campaign was Hate Donald Trump which doesn't do anything beneficial for the country or the people.
   
   The voters, especially women voters were smart enough to realize that the president should be chosen based on what they campaigned on, and not their gender.
   
   How did the Russians or any foreigners influence the Republican Primary for Trump to win it. The RNC and several heavy weight republican candidates were against him until Trump won it. Some even continued to be against Trump even beyond his winning the presidency.
   
   The media attack on Trump was relentless and they still are today. Gloria Allred, and NBC dropped some media bombs on Trump close to the election. Even though they were meritless they could have loss him the election.

   The reality. 
   
   It really has been a brilliant campaign, all things considered, by a web of politicians and media types, to hoist upon the Trump Administration the very collusion and crimes the Clintons (and several others in D.C.) were themselves overtly guilty of.
   
   Sadly, we see how ignorant (or open to suggestion) the vast majority of Americans are, as they ignore the mountain of easily found evidence as to the truth in these matters... choosing instead to believe every fabricated and unfounded story against Trump and those in his Administration that can be created, no matter how far fetched.
   
   I don't mind people bashing on Trump, its not worth my time to defend him... but it would be nice when people choose to spend so much of their effort to denigrate him, that they at least open their eyes and review the truths, the facts, rather than dismiss them simply because they don't like the reality.

   To answer directly:
   
   If it's true, I suppose Trump owes Russia the same things he owes the big corporate backers who sponsored him. (Which is really nothing, but pandering is expected.) So look forward to some trade deals, or military action with Russia that are a little more in their favor.
   
   For the less direct, and I think more pertinent answer:
   
   If Russians hacked anyone and exposed information, it's no different from the same kind of practice happening between candidates and parties in the US for decades. Do I like the mud slinging? No. Do I think it's a horrible thing to do? Yes. It takes away from actually dealing with any social issues and feeds the rumor mill. However, can we please deal with the corrupt politician that was exposed instead of trying to shame the corrupt politician now in office? We'll have time to deal with Trump after putting Clinton in jail. You know, the one who was proven to be performing criminal activities.
   
   I think a better question is: Why are we so fixated on Trump? He won because voter confidence was shaken when Clinton was exposed as a criminal.

       Absolutely. That's the majority of what I was saying in regard to the hacked information. The information she never denied and instead pulled a "he lost me the election" card on. It was a clear redirect.

       So, if hillary is unqualified, what makes sanders qualified? And do you support sanders hacking clinton donor/voter list, and his "anonymous"10 mil donation,which got him a reprimand?Or does it not matter to you?And trump tweeting  does not bother me
