I guess unless it involves Russia's hacking or whatever. We have never been shown any good evidence of even that, much less all these other claims. Russia isn't our enemy. The potential for better relations with Russia, as Noam Chomsky said, is perhaps the one silver lining of the Trump administration. Plus everybody started running this story about Russia back in early october or late september. By the time of the election everyone had heard it and voted for Trump anyway.
The boat for a mutually beneficial kind of better relationship with Russia sailed 15 years ago. From around 2005 onward better relationship between the US and Russia is not possible without much larger losses to US interests.
In any case, better relationship with a Russia that overtly interfered in the American presidential election would just confirm to the world that not only is the US no longer a superpower, it is not really even very much a serious sovereign state, just a big fat one to be roasted over a spit and larded with an iron poker for the benefit of whichever foreign power can recruit the underclass of GOP dirty tricksters and get some fifth rate failure of a brat loser into the whitehouse.
