The Trump crowd doesn't necessarily think it's a hoax. I think it could have come from Russia; the problem is that it hasn't been demonstrated. The evidence released by the government is paltry. There are ways this could more reasonably be a false flag (though I don't think it is). I'm seeing lots of people who know this stuff better than me say that a 400 pound hacker from Zaire could have left the same trail that they're saying now confirms it was always and only Russia.

The other thing the Trump crowd says is "and?". So, Putin outsmarted a dummy Podesta in a private entity (DNC is not government) and merely released to the public what he found? And these findings are a bunch of shady shit by the DNC and Putin is more or less acting as whistleblower (a thing the pre-Trump left used to extol)? And all evidence points to the election itself not being fiddled with at any level (except possible pro-Democrat possible cheating in Detroit) And, yet, the narrative is a colossus of "RUSSIA BAD!"?
