I think we can make a pretty good guess about their intentions.  'They never thought she would lose' is tied to the hacking by the DHS. Effective counter measures by White Hats may have thrown a wrench into their scheme.  Obama giving oversight to the DHS was such an obvious ploy to allow Executive Branch fuckery into the election process. All of this is tied to Vault 7 spy tools and hack masking. I really believe that.
