I thought he implied that blaming Russia for leaking data was in his opinion irrelevant when the leaked data implied that someone at home did something nasty.

I did not feel that he disrespected the ability of the KGB alumni running Russia to do the kinds of things which they were originally trained and paid to do.

I read it as that too. However, it's not irrelevant, it's orthogonal. If someone at home did something nasty, they should be held accountable. That said, Russia engaging in the act of hacking and leaking the data is a major problem in its own right. I agree that we shouldn't let that excuse the actions of Americans, at the same time.
