Almost seems like an attempt to shift the dialogue from "Republican vs. Democrat" to "USA vs. Russia". Why put out this article now, instead of when this first became public "knowledge"? I get the feeling this is the democratic establishment trying to say "Look, the GOP is getting hacked too! Lets all turn our focus on Russia!"

This is admittedly speculation, though. You can't really trust the government or the media these days, so I don't even know which bits of information I'm working with are true or false.
