In contrast, Hillary with her history of selling US strategic interests through the Clinton Foundation, bungled reset button, and heir to Obama's "flexibility" towards Putin offered a much more attractive choice based on publicly available information. That is why never Trumper's are forced to claim Putin wanted Trump to win based on secret information, trust us.
The Russian banks and oligarchs financing Trump claim is based on speculation and a statement by Trump Jr drawn wildly out of context. Trump has shown interest in expanding into Russia but the interest never can to fruition.
Putin bought the Clinton's with a deal for Uranium One, a Canadian based company that controlled roughly 20% of US uranium mining rights. Uranium is considered a strategic asset and so the transactions had to be approved by the Federal government including the State Department headed by Hillary Clinton at the time.

Hillary through her husband and the Clinton Foundation profited mightily from the deal.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock

See the difference? the Trump dealings with Russian banks smear is based on the thinnest of connections and secret intelligence whereas the Russians buying Hillary is backed by verifiable evidence.
