Well, the Bernie people have now officially been vindicated, we'll have to see what the long term fallout is. The Russian angle is pretty funny though, I'm already seeing the liberal sites trying to spin it as an attack on America to distract from what was uncovered.
Well no security expert denies the hackers were Russian security agencies, but everything else beyond that has been pure speculation. That said, I'm pretty sure the Russians hack into anything they can over here-- it's not necessarily like this was their only target or something, just probably the softest.
You're right the focus right now should be on the DNC institution itself, no reform will happen if it's brushed under the carpet. That said, when the election is over, someone should take a good hard look into the issue because it is dangerous that a foreign actor could influence an election-- but not in the fray of an election, this is the type of investigation that needs to be undertaken soberly.
On a side note, I'm curious about the e-mails we haven't seen yet. Wikileaks has a habit of doing "click bait" type releases-- a little teaser information, and then a month or so later a little more teaser information, and finally the whole thing. Assange knows how to release information for maximum impact, and if I were the DNC or Hillary, I would be very very concerned that the worst is yet to come, because what was released so far isn't all that shocking-- it's things people already instinctively knew, but had no "proof".
