I'm totally with you with regard to your general "moving the goalposts" criticism. I know people who first said: "This is a CIA hitjob. The FBI and the NSA will never sign on to these accusations." Of course, now that the NSA has expressed "moderate" confidence and the CIA and FBI have expressed "high confidence" those people have mysteriously found other problems with this narrative. I don't dismiss this report at all. It has solidified my belief in general Russian meddling (paid trolls, RT, propaganda, etc). But, in my opinion, that is old news (in fact, "Annex A" of the report is from 2012). My favorite piece of Russian propaganda is this "satellite photo" of a Ukrainian fighter firing a missile at MH17: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/11/14/1415993353768_wps_22_Russian_Channel_1_shows_v.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/11/14/1415993353768_wps_... So, to me, the fact that Russian propaganda is constantly working to discredit the United States isn't an extraordinary thing: I take it for granted. What seems extraordinary to me is the allegation that Russian intelligence leaked the emails through wikileaks and dcleaks. I don't think that claim is implausible and I haven't dismissed it, but I was hoping to see more evidence, that's all. Hopefully I'll be alive in 20 years so when this stuff gets declassified I'll know if I was right or wrong!
