Let's review the question of Russian intelligence's involvement in these leaks, which seems controversial to some.
1)Once the DNC uncovered the hacked, it hired a top-shelf firm called Crowd Strike to conduct a forensic review.

2) Crowd Strike traced the hack back to groups called Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear.
3) Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear are long time affiliates of Russian intelligence. Crowd Strike report explains here.

4) Can we say that they were working on behalf of Russia with certainty? This is murky by nature. But there's a long, clear history.
5) What's the alternative theory? A Romanian hacker called Guccifer 2.0 claims credit for the hack.
6) But @VICE pretty much shredded his credibility.

7) @VICE spoke to Guccifer via email--and seemed pretty unconvinced by his Romanian skills.
8) Also Guccifer called requests to speak in Romanian "a waste of time"
9) Furthermore all the metadata on the DNC docs is in Russian.
10) And consider Julian Assange's history with the Kremlin--he steered Snowden to Russian, he hosted RT show, etc

11) For the record, I don't like what Wikileaks uncovered at the DNC. It should aspire to neutrality in a primary.
12) But the DNC hardly determined the fate of the election. And Sanders people should push for reforms, while not exaggerating the facts.
13)My attempt to explain the leaks and Putin's grand strategy in narrative form is here.
