What is _Russia_ looking to achieve by manipulating the election?


over last couple of days, information provided trump jr. meeting last year russian lawyer has set off sorts of talk collusion , "treason". don't think rises level, myself. however, there question going unasked here, , guys @ security have penned article describes perfectly: wasn't offer of dirt russians little bit convenient?

article:

the media is, in large part, missing point when comes news donald trump jr.’s june 2016 meeting russian lawyer natalia vesilnitskaya , should steering instead raising right questions. difficult conceive of scenario in private citizen in russia has access derogatory information on u.s. presidential candidate. act of offering such information likely, @ minimum, trial balloon, , @ best (from moscow’s perspective), chance pass information agent of russian government trump campaign through candidate’s campaign manager , son, thereby implicating donald j. trump himself.
...
vesilnitskaya may have had own agenda in requesting meeting trump. part legitimate. russian intelligence practice co-opt such person arming them secret intelligence information , tasking them pass trump’s people , reaction.
...
based on know, interaction had hallmarks of overture russian intelligence campaign, , utterly damning trump jr. took meeting, brought in manafort , kushner meeting, , none of them reported events fbi nor u.s. authorities until recently.​

edit: should have stated more before; security article got me wondering russian side of event. sure feels descending old spy vs spy days of cold war, , i'm wondering russians looking achieve here (and else may have attempted or attempting do). i've updated thread title ask question.
