Stop blaming WikiLeaks.
Stop blaming Russia.
Stop citing a secret CIA report, especially since The New York Times published an article on October 31, 2016 titled Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia:
Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.
Therefore, the FBI has already contradicted the CIA on its Russian conspiracy theories.

As for Russian interference through WikiLeaks, NSA Chief Mike Rogers is quoted on November 21, 2016 in The Hill stating DNC emails had little impact on the election:
National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers said Sunday that he does not believe the publication of stolen Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails affected the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
I dont think in the end it had the effect that [the hackers] had hoped it might, Rogers said during a panel at the Halifax International Security Forum.
Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain (R-Az.) expressed a similar sentiment on Saturday, stating that, I do not think that the outcome of the election was impacted by Russian hacking.
The FBI and NSA have already contradicted The Washington Post and CIA. Even Sen. John McCain stated that he didnt think the outcome of the election was impacted by Russian hacking.(continued)

Stunned, I am still in disbelief that this isn’t a piece from the Onion. I did click on it though. Most likely just a throwaway piece, after all, who on TV would ever quote this article? Exactly.
