Of Course The Russian's Prioritized Democrats

Regarding "CIA: Russian hacks ‘prioritized’ Democrats" (Tuesday From the cover, A11), it seems obvious to me why both the Republican and Democrat parties were targeted by Russia, "but that Democratic institutions and operatives came under a more sustained and determined online assault."

Only the Democrats were conducting government business on a private server in Hillary Clinton's basement, transmitting a treasure trove of official government correspondence as well as classified government documents.  It also linked to hundreds of other Democrat operatives and organizations.  Meanwhile, over on the Republican side, evidence seems to show that all you had was Republicans, talking about politics.

For Hackers, Clinton's server is what we in Texas like to call "A Bird's Nest On The Ground:" Chock full of goodies, with minimal protection.

If you were Russia, which would you "prioritize"?
