Russians hacked the DNC?

I'm hearing on NPR, Fox, and the 'Net a theory that the Russians hacked the DNC emails and released them on Wikileaks to help The Donald.
Why in the world would they do that?
    Hillary is a known quantity.  She is not very smart, she can be bought, she won't make waves.  She has had four years as Secretary of State to demonstrate her incompetence in foreign affairs.  If I was Putin, that's exactly the kind of person I would like as president of the only surviving superpower. 
   Trump on the other hand, might do anything.  America is an exceptional country, and with imaginative leadership it can do almost anything.  Under mediocre leadership (Hillary) nothing much will happen.  But under charismatic leadership America won WWII, developed nuclear weapons, traveled to the Moon, eliminated polio, and gave its people the best standard of living in the world.  Under Trump, America could be an irresistible adversary to Russian expansion worldwide.  Why risk that?  Far better to have a mediocrity who will let things slide as they have been doing.   
   So I don't believe the Russians wanted to help Trump.

Cutting a deal after calling him crazy.

Hard to do.  The Obama administration released/leaked an intel document where in a buncha shrinks diagnosed Putin with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism.  They based the diagnosis on looking at pictures of Putin, which sounds a little flaky to me.  But they did it and they released it to the public press.
   Good luck trying to negotiate with Putin after calling him crazy in public.  Either Obama is too stupid to understand the insult, or he doesn't care cause he doesn't plan on doing any more negotiations. 

Godwin's Law strikes Hillary

Godwin's law comes from Internet discussion/argument groups.  The first person to invoke Hitler's name (usually by calling his opponent a Nazi)  lost the argument.  That rule used to be confined to high level Internet surfer nerds. 
   Well, Godwin's law is spreading.  Hillary Clinton compared Putin's  claim to be protecting Russians in Crimea to Hitler's claim to be protecting Sudetenland Germans in the 1930's.  Which actually is a pretty good fit.  Hitler took over Czechoslovakia claiming he was protecting ethnic Germans living in Czechoslovakia.  Putin took over the Crimea claiming that he was protecting ethnic Russians living in the Crimea.  What goes around comes around. 
   And, Hillary was forced to back off about comparing Putin to Hitler.  Apparently the liberal newsies just couldn't stomach calling a bastard a bastard.  Godwin's law moves off the 'net into the political world.
