The election is over.
Now, let's get back to foreign gvmts hacking us. As we speak the trump mouthpieces are taking turns demanding the proof, as you say, and then shuttering the conversation by saying that our intelligence agencies shouldn't be discussing national security. Talk about having it both ways.
Would you be so cavalier if a private citizen hacked the GOP and published it on the net? You haven't discussed penalties. Only that the ends justified the means in serving your purpose.
Btw, I do agree with some of what you said. Transparency is the only answer to a gvmt that hides itself from it's people.
