You're source is RT news? Hahahahahaha, LMBO!!!
Oh boy, I should've know. The guy accusing everyone else of falling for "propaganda" is fooled by the biggest propaganda tool in the history of the world.
Firstly, the article does NOT say that Hillary "tried to influence the Russian election in 2012 using the state department." Rather, it points out that she criticized the election as being "unfair". So perhaps instead of criticizing me for "no doing research" maybe you should do some yourself.
But more importantly, RT is NOT a reputable source my friend. I'd strongly encourage you to get your information from other more reliable sources. RT is the state run propaganda tool of Putin.
