I would look at the motive. State actors will use the information for economic and security benefit, not broadcast to the world. A guy who wants attention, to be thought of in the same vein as Assange and Snowden, will announce it to the world.
Plus, I think if the system was as easy to access (via $1.5k 0day hack purchased online, and was disabled via reboot on June 12th), then I think lots of other people had access, including state actors. I don't think they would announce it to the world, just quietly use the information.
Also, I don't think Guccifer wants to influence the election, as he seems to have an impoverished understanding of the facts. I think he just wants to show off.
As for a coverup? I don't think it would be as loud or as prolonged as this (Streisand effect). It seems there is even more forthcoming info, too.
