It is still too early to tell, and nobody should be jumping to conclusions at this stage in the investigation.

Either you have faith in the law-enforcement machine, or you don't. Let them finish their investigation, publish a report, and then make your own conclusions.

(You know, kind of how it all went down with 9/11: same deal. No jumping to conclusions, kids ..)

Law enforcement has said Russia interfered [1]. The ODNI conducted an investigation and published its report [2]. Whether it flipped the outcome is difficult to determine, and in my view a wholly-separate issue.

EDIT: added link to report [2] from first paragraph of the Wikipedia article [1]

There is a huge difference between a published report being filed, and a couple of statements here and there from media representatives.

Nobody should be jumping to conclusions at the point the Senate intel committee has said they're sure during committee hearings and NSA/FBI/CIA have issued a joint report?

What do you consider a reasonable standard if the intel community saying their findings isn't it?

A written report that isn't a 30-second video sound-bite.
