    To cause chaos. A nation arguing with itself will be less inclined to mess around internationally.

    Sending things to both parties is more likely to cause chaos.

        From the article:

        The United States said the hackers sent emails, which included stolen excerpts from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, to staff of his then-rival, Joe Biden. Both presidential candidates said such attempts took place.

        I read this as the group attempted to send Trump’s email’s to staff of both candidate’s staff, but maybe it means both candidates confirmed the emails were sent to Biden?
