I think they backed Trump because they knew that they could use him. I'm certain that he paid them for their service.

It’s been pretty widely reported that Putin and Clinton have a history.
A. He blames her for the disastrous 2011-2012 campaign where his party took a hit in popularity. Putin won the presidency but lower percentage than ever before.
B. She’s far more hawkish than Trump and would work to strengthen our partnerships with Europe, not weaken them.
C. Being a Democrat, her presidency would focus more on human rights than Trump’s. So things like the Magnitsky Act, sanctions, gay rights, etc would’ve been strengthened not weakened.
D. Trump has had business interests in Russia/Soviet Union since the 80s. Just by Knowing this, it opens the door to potential opportunities.
E. If you’re America’s enemy, wouldn’t you want Trump to win? You don’t have to be a fan of Clinton to know that if you want America to look, around, and act dumb, you want Trump in charge, not Clinton.
This article sums up why Putin hates Clinton:

Anyone interested in a good summer read where the former ambassador and Stanford Professor discusses Russia and why Putin hates him (and Clinton), read Michael McFaul’s book, “From Cold War to Hot Peace.”
