Last summer, almost everything, including scouts, was confident that Hillary Clinton would win in the US elections. The technical task was set: to reveal her correspondence and show that Clinton used private mail for solving state problems - in the American value system this is a serious violation, writes on the Snob portal Russian political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin.

At the propaganda level, it was a task to discredit both Clinton and the electoral process. It was necessary to lower her chances and show how her campaign is managed by the establishment. That is, to undermine its position and the common reputation of American democracy. This was exactly what the pro-Kremlin press was full of.

They proclaimed in advance that Trump would not be allowed to win, because he was hampering the interests of the corrupt Clinton elite, that in the US it was not democracy, but the rule of the Washington clans.

But it turned out the opposite: contrary to or thanks to these statements, Trump won, and the letter of the American law was observed.

And this is the first strategic error of the secret services: it was supposed that we want to discredit the system that Clinton will choose. It turned out they were trying to discredit the system that chose Trump.

But our special services did not despond. The propagandists changed their shoes - they forgot that American democracy is so bad, and they began to drink champagne for Trump's health.

And made a second mistake, putting on the fact that Trump is our. Firstly - there is dirt on it, and secondly - we prevented Clinton. It turned out that his victory - to some extent the result of the policy of the Kremlin.

This formulation - "to some extent" - is objective. Talk about interference in counting votes - nonsense. But Russia's actions affected some of the electorate: Trump seemed less unpleasant to voters than Clinton.

But the third and main mistake of our special services is that they see the world through the ass. They see this: Trump is on their hook, there is dirt on him. He and the girls frolicked in the hotel "Ukraine", so he can be told: your victory is our victory.

Our special services thought that the Komi and the FBI serve the boss, and they serve the law. This in Moscow do not understand.

What happened as a result: instead of sitting on the hook at the Lubyanka, Trump broke. Moreover, he is now forced to demonstrate a more rigid line of conduct.

And all this is caused by mistakes of our special services. They forgot the Suvorov principle - keep a bullet in the muzzle. Kompromat works, while he's in the daddy. As soon as compromising material came to the surface - all you have to answer. Unlike the Russian system - where, in response to a question about corruption in the higher echelons of power, the president's press secretary will simply shrug his shoulders.
