Just to be precise: the newly declassified footnotes from the Horowitz report indicate the Steel Dossier believed by FBI to contain Russian Disinformation (and used it anyway for FISA warrants). Additionally, the Republicans who KNOW like Devin Nunes continue to assert that Russia interfered.
As best as we can tell from the outside, their interference was to sow discord not to harm Hillary or boost Trump specifically.
I've been hearing this Russian nonsense since day one, without evidence.
Is it linked to the Russian government?
What are they even doing?
Does it have any impact at all?
All we hear is that some people in Russia bought some ads. So what. Do you care if people from foreign countries by ads? I don't. Bloomberg bought more ads than anyone has in history, and practically every advertisement moment on TV or on YouTube was just him. Did it push him anywhere meaningful?
The only people sewing discord are CNN, NBC, etc...
If not for them constantly spreading this nonsense, no one would even be aware of the nonsense any Russian might be putting out there. It's the local dying media which has more of a reach than a couple thousand ads on random websites.
It’s great that we can’t trust anything the FBI says ever again.
Here’s a link. We don’t get to see any evidence. To me it’s more likely that this is the DNC and Hillary’s camp doing the hacks to rig elections with magically efficient and targeted vote harvesting.
"the hacks didn't result in any voter data being manipulated or election results compromised"
If they're not changing the vote, and nothing they're doing actually prevents someone from voting, then from an election standpoint who cares?
Sure we don't want foreign governments or organizations stealing our data, but I don't see how this has any connection to any election. This topic here is an issue of data security, which unfortunately is garbage, and we need to beef up all around.

Who cares?
Let’s see - if you know the party registration then you know which mail in ballots to discard.
If you know the party registration then you know whose house to go “ballot harvest”.
