Did Russia Really Intefere in the 2016 Election?

In June 2016, The Washington Post reported that the Democratic National Committee’s computer network had been hacked, allowing access to email and chat transcripts, as well as files detailing research on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
This was reported about a month before the hacked files were released, shortly before the Democratic convention began. As The Post reported at the time, the likely culprits had already been identified as Russian — not by the government but by an outside firm called CrowdStrike.
Interestingly enough Crowstrike confirms it was Russian, yet Crowdstrike is backed by Ukrainians who hate the Russians. Notice two things:
1. No where is proof provded that our principle intelligence agencies have done forensic evidence to prove Crowdstrike is right, and,
2. The Washington Post references a Vice article (July 25, 2016) as proof which essentially parrots what the Washington Post has written in their article (July 6, 2016) 
Now, in October 2016 our intelligence agencies issue this public statement:
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security issued an unusual public statement.
“The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations,” the statement read. “The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process.”
Notice no proof just "we say it, so it is true"  Again, no true forensic evidence has been done or presented.
I have spent a rather inordinate amount of time researching this issue, I have even read everything issued by our Government on their media boards and strangely they parrot what I read in the Washington Post, NewYork Times, Huffington Post and Vice.
Now folks, I am not a Conspiracy Theorist, but this smells. Think about this, if you were President Trump sitting in the Oval Office being fed the pabluum these Intelligence Bureaucrats are feeding you, would you begin to doubt them?
I know I would.
“The Obama administration’s politicized intelligence community promoted the story of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians to influence the 2016 presidential election but refuses to release any concrete evidence,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  “The Deep State intelligence establishment continues to be in a cover-up mode on Russia.  This illegal secrecy seems designed to protect the Obama/Clinton administration and to undermine the Trump administration.  President Trump may want to ask his appointees what they are hiding about Russia.”
I do not trust anything I see coming from the Bureaucracy in Washingon DC because I simply do not believe them.
What Say You?
