LOL... yes, genius. That's how it works...
I say my source is the FBI, NSA, and CIA.... which anyone can look up.
Anonynmous Internet person says that's all fake news.
And now it's up to you to figure out which source has more weight.

John Podesta was a member of Hillary's campaign.
Not just a member, the Chairman.
And this is another example of how some of you cannot understand the nuances that make a huge difference.
Look at the link wardaddy provided. Can you read the names of the 2 people that were lobbying on behalf of the Podesta Group?
Is John Podesta's name on the list?
No, it's not.
Therefore the comparison is invalid.
John Podesta hasn't been with the company officially in some years, yet he's done work and set up meetings for the company. I wouldn't expect him to put his name on a document pertaining to Russia, especially if "Russian collusion" was plan b for an election loss.
Plan B, huh?
Keep resorting to conspiracy. Eventually, one of em will be true.

I wonder how they got Michael Flynn to lie about his contacts with Russia and how they got Trump Jr involved to meet a Russian lawyer for dirt on Hillary, and how did they get Trump to openly call on Russia to hack his opponent, and how did they get Jeff Sessions to meet with and lie about meeting Russians.
Such a vast conspiracy to take down Donald Trump and they even got Trump to participate in it.
Or maybe the FBI, CIA, and NSA are right, and Russia had a role in the election, and maybe all these changing stories from the Trump campaign regarding their interaction with Russians is worthy of investigation.
When the guy being investigated calls the FBI, NSA, CIA fake news -- not sure how much water that holds from a guy being investigated... who's already once paid 25 million for fraud. Not sure I believe the fraud guy.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a campaign involving covert intelligence operations and overt propaganda to undermine faith in the U.S. election, disparage Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump’s election chances, the intelligence community concluded in a report released Friday afternoon.
Russian president Vladimir Putin interfered in the US presidential election to aid Donald Trump, according to a declassified assessment by the NSA, CIA and FBI.

Put more simply.
"The Russians tried to influence our election again, just like we try to influence others."

Who are you attempting to defend with that statement?

Trump is hostile to Russia. No way this story is true. Putin prefers Hillary AKA Obama 2.0 as president. Putin and Hillary are on friendly terms.
“We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary [Hillary] Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump,” the agencies found in a long-awaited report that stands to hang over the head of the incoming Trump administration.
The report (pdf), for weeks the subject of leaks that have incensed and vexed Trump, contradicts the contention from his transition team that Russia did not prefer him in the 2016 election, as well as Trump’s insistence that the culprits behind the hacks of Democratic political figures are fundamentally unknowable.

Back to the thread topic, there appears to be real evidence of Obama's administration....
Russian Campaign Was Multifaceted
Moscow’s use of disclosures during the US election was unprecedented, but its influence campaign otherwise followed a longstanding Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations—such as cyber activity—with overt efforts by Russian Government agencies, statefunded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social media users or “trolls.”
