This article smells like DNC propaganda. Firstly, this is an old story. The heart of the news is about 2 years old [2] and it's Graff's first article for bloomberg [3] though he has been writing for Wire and Politico (his former paper)
Secondly, the author is exploring political career of his own in Vermont [4] and it's very possible his Politico article (that changed the blame to lack of technology skills by Hillary) [5] and this article are meant to curry favor for DNC players as he is making his own political bids.
Lastly, the author makes conclusion the hacks were done by Russians, perhaps one of the greatest foreign operations in decades, has undoubtedly been Russia’s successful effort to influence this fall’s presidential election through hacking however as others pointed out there is no clear evidence of this.
Overall, this shows the sophisticated state of political propaganda in US and how it operates to shape the minds of the readers. We're in for a bumpy ride.
