The evidence pointing to Russia involvement in hacking the United States election is way more certain than the lack of evidence for an alternative scenario the drive-by downvoters are giving. :) It's not like the United States or other countries have never been involved in similar hacking shenanigans. I mean, for instance: there is some interesting circumstantial evidence tying Stuxnet to United States and/or Israel intelligence agencies. "Officially", there is no proof tying Stuxnet to anything, that has been de-classified for now at least. But several intelligence intelligence agencies in Europe and the Middle East have concluded that Stuxnet is a US / Israel product. Likewise, there is a lot of interesting circumstantial evidence typing Russia to the election hacking. Again, nothing 100% "certain" that is de-classified. But a lot of intelligence agencies have reached this conclusion. Added to this, I haven't seen any good counter-explanations. Beyond mere intelligence agencies reaching this conclusion, there has been a lot of US government action related to this issue (in that Russian diplomats were expelled and sanctions were applied in part due to the election hacking). If all of that was for some illusion or show, that frankly would be strange to me. "You never know", of course. But the probability of Russians being involved in the hacking seems very high.
