We should do everything we can to avoid war with Russia (was against the Syrian no-fly zone of Hillary's), but anyone who kills dissenters and doesn't care about civil rights is not our friend. What came out in the DNC e-mails was frustrating, but it was used in a way by Russia to influence our election. I would rather have not known about them at all.
