Think about this:

“The D.N.C. immediately hired CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm, to scan its computers, identify the intruders and build a new computer and telephone system from scratch. Within a day, CrowdStrike confirmed that the intrusion had originated in Russia, Mr. Sussmann said.
The work that such companies do is a computer version of old-fashioned crime scene investigation, with fingerprints, bullet casings and DNA swabs replaced by an electronic trail that can be just as incriminating. And just as police detectives learn to identify the telltale methods of a veteran burglar, so CrowdStrike investigators recognized the distinctive handiwork of Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear.
Those are CrowdStrikes nicknames for the two Russian hacking groups that the firm found at work inside the D.N.C. network.”
Now that you know the CIA can use subsets of hacking techniques to effectively frame third parties for attacks; saying that the hacking techniques are like ‘fingerprints’.

This shows that its very possible that the CIA pretended to be Russia hacking Podesta/DNC/Hillary.
Meant to also add this is why supposedly “17 intelligence agencies” said the DNC hacks were work of the Russians...when it was actually done by the CIA themselves.
