I'm reminded of the theory that the 2017 DNC email leak was forged to look like it had come from a Russian, when a deeper analysis suggested it had come via local thumb drive: https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2017/08/23/exclusive-nsa-whistleblower-russia-hack-dnc-server-outright-lie/ https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2017/08/23/exclusive-n...

Hence, pretty strong reasons to suspect Russian state involvment.
