Christopher Porter @TheCyberChris - I was in charge of US Intelligence Community assessments for the 2020 election.
This is the exact right analytic take. There’s no doubt Russia hacked the DNC. But you ought to have a LOT of doubt that this amounted to something that would influence much less alter the outcome of the election. 
Altogether the Russian IRA generated interactions of around 10 million tweets if I recall correctly. Then-candidate Trump had over 11 million followers! He could summon that entire influence campaign’s worth of impact multiple times a day. Orders of magnitude difference in influence.
For that matter, if you look at the content and level of effort it’s pretty clear Russia’s primary goal was undermining a Clinton presidency by raising all kinds of legitimacy concerns. 
The idea this was pro-Trump from the beginning, much less that the campaign colluded with them, was always unsupported by the evidence and obvious even to those of us in the private sector without access to this kind of classified intelligence at the time.

Russia "waged an information war" in 2016?
That's a weasel-like reframe.
Allegedly, Russia hacked some Democrat emails,  created some fake social media accounts, and made some memes no one saw.
Would you call that Russian interference or collusion? It had no impact on the election, per the Intelligence Community. 
NBC is waging an information war on you right now.
