I'm not quite sure what you're asking me. Here's my post you linked:

fine and the info was leaked to Russia to cause chaos in the US nuff said.

I'm curious, honest question - why do you say the info was leaked to Russia?
I assume we're talking about Podesta's emails etc that were released by WikiLeaks. If an inside person downloaded (whatever) and gave it to wikileaks where/how do the Russians come into the picture?
So I was asking a question, not opining.
But no my opinions haven't changed (I'm not sure what opinion you're referring, but take your pick of the below):
I remain skeptical that the staffer was murdered in an armed robbery because there are no earmarks or indication of a robbery: he was found with his wallet, wristwatch and cellphone.
Julian Assange claims he didn't receive the leaked info from Russia and then, IIRC, we had reports that all 17 US intel agencies had 'high confidence' (again IIRC, the NASA only had 'medium confidence') that the Russians did the hacking and supplied the info to Wikileaks contrary to Assange's assertion. I was, and still remain skeptical because the intel agencies never examined the servers and instead relied upon a report from a private group hired by the Hillary campaign and/or DNC. I did, and still do, find that 'fishy'. Moreover, the report claiming 17 agencies was erroneous. The NYT had to publish a correction. James Clapper also later admitted it was false:

My skepticism has only deepened. I don't trust the process (our agencies didn't examine the server) and there's too much disinformation/errors.
Recent developments in the FBI do not inspire confidence either. E.g., I saw Comey testify under oath before Congress denying (1) that he leaked, (2) that he authorized the leak and (3) knowing anything about the leak. Now I hear that McCabe is claiming Comey authorized him to leak (one of the reasons cited for his dismissal). Somebody is lying.
I do believe the Russians, among others, hack us, or try all the time. Hacking is non-stop and I think far worse than most realize. (I would refer anyone interested to a lengthy investigative piece published in Vanity Fair some time ago.) But am I confident regarding the narrow question of whether Russia hacked the DNC or otherwise provided the Podesta emails to Wikileaks for publishing? No.

I find it interesting that the article claims there is a "new" Guccifer 2.0 (better command of English language) and this new one conveniently "forgot" to use a VPN and gave away the Moscow address. Really? I think it should at least be considered that this another Kremlin trick. They have someone sign-on claiming to be Guccifer 2.0, leave a trail back to Moscow and watch the US freakout. They gotta be laughing their asses off.
I would also point out that, according to the article, at that time no one believed Guccifer 2.0 had anything to do with it. But now they do? (And it's apparently conceded it's not even the same G2.0? So WTH?)
Skeptical? That's a friggin understatement.
