First if you know anything about anonymity you would also know I could sit behind a socks5 proxy out of Russia all day and you'd have no idea if I was Russian or American. That doesnt mean I am Russian.
It just seems that people on the left are so concerned with WHO hacked vs what was revealed

Casually? No.
I just think it much more likely that it was an inner-circle member of what's-her-names campaign, or a high level DNC insider. One of which just so happened to be murdered around the time of the leaks...rather convenient timing, IMHO--though not for him.
It's possible, I suppose, that Russia was involved in it... But what do they gain from it? There's so much to lose if it goes sideways on them in some fashion...casus belli--they'd be staring a war right smack dab in the face.
The simplest explanation is the insider being pissed off for some reason, and wanting what's-her-name to pay for it.
I'd much rather it be that, than a foreign power messing about. Wars have happened over less, and in our lifetimes, too.

...how casually you are dismissing the evidence put forth in the OP it comes across like you don't want to look at it.
Yet, instead of being outraged that a foreign government literally influenced one of our most sacred institutions, our Presidential elections,
Deny ignorance maybe?

Raw, without salt.
We all need, apparently, a bogey-man to keep us awake at night. Amazing that it's the Russians!! Isn't it amazing how some things never, ever change?
1950--Be scared of the Russians.
1960--Be scared of the Russians.
1970--Be scared of the Russians.
1980--Be scared of the Russians.
1990--Be scared of the Russians.
2000--Be scared of the Russians.
2010--Be scared of the Russians.
2016--Be scared of the Russians.
Is anyone detecting a trend here? Yet how often have we really needed to be scared of the Russians? Not as often as some would have us believe... Cautious? Concerned? Surely. But scared that they're behind every little occurrence? Somehow I doubt it.

How casually you dismiss the revelations from the hacking is what is so concerning.
Yet instead of being outraged that OUR OWN government is so corrupt and in bed with the media to influence one of our most sacred institutions, our presidential elections, you blindly shout about Russia's atrocities while defending your own parties.
Deny ignorance maybe?
