The USA has a long history of using Russia as the bogyman for its own internal/national agenda. A good question to always ask is: "cui bono". Regarding the many allegations that have been made against Russia over the years, there is a good chance that many of those have been falsified or even been made up. Particularly noteworthy is when these allegations against Russia were starting to excessively grow in number and severity. It was when Russia started to actively/openly oppose and counter the USA's plans in the Middle East, particularly in Syria. It was around the same time when American financial "advisers" and "businessmen", who have been at least instrumental in the "privatization" of Russia's state properties after the collapse of the USSR, were losing their influence (and profits) in Russia. This happened (in part) because many Russian oligarchs were given a choice by the Russian state (/Putin) to either cut their ties with their American associates and be left mostly untouched, or face persecution. Not long after this, the allegations against Russia started to snowball, with several of these American "businessmen" apparently playing key roles in them (but mostly hidden from public view). Of course, none of that proves or disproved any of the allegations made against Russia. But the timing of it all remains a peculiar coincidence at best. In the absence of hard and verifiable evidence regarding most of the allegations, it is possible that the majority of these allegations are nothing but bogyman stories, serving only the foul play withing US politics itself. I do not claim that it is, just that it is very well possible.
