>A hostile foreign power hacking a government related server containing potential sensitive data and then spewing that data such as to disrupt a US election is vastly more significant than putting that data on the server in the first place.

Not when that hostile foreign power hacks the Democrats in an election year. Then they're just doing the world a favor. Allegedly.

There's no indication that Russia is involved. It could just as easily - in fact more easily - be an internal whistle blower.

There are indications, just not ironclad evidence. Unfortunately, there's also a lot of aggressive propagandizing on both sides that makes the subject difficult to discuss objectively.
