So did Russia just organize shit posting on the internet or were they directly leaking secrets and handing money to Trump?

I don't know what they actually did.

No one knows fully what they did (well, the people investigating it do), but what we do know is that...

1 - They hacked 20+ state voting machines.
2 - Wikileaks is basically a Russian tool that was used to release information specifically to damage Clinton's campaign.
3 - They created an absurd "troll farm" to further divide the country's politics which created a massive amount of propaganda and pumped it into various social media outlets.
4 - They funded actual organizations, with a great example being this guy who wanted to provide martial arts courses to a community that was predominantly African-American. And then they turned *that* into a controversy about how African-Americans were training to become even more dangerous.
5 - They also orchestrated the organization of protests, even getting two opposing protests to rally at the same time in the same place.

That's in the US alone and there's probably far more here. In Europe they've also been aggressively interfering in domestic politics and foreign policy in countries such as Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands (not even speaking about Ukraine, which I think speaks for itself).
