So today, White House says, "OK, let's do an all-IC assessment of CIA's theories, shall we?" Hours later, this leak occurs.

Effectively, this is CIA (and Dem Senators) trying to pre-empt the WH review. They've given you the answer, who needs more?

It raises two issues. First: was it FSB or GRU that hacked RNC? If the former, well, the FSB is not believed to have leaked. Just GRU is.

Also, claim that "largely documents from Dem Party systems" were leaked? HUGE exception to this is Powell's emails. Those didn't help Trump.

Nor did they harm Trump. They did provide cover/diversion for motive of the hacking, making it look “nonpartisan”

There's a lot more that DC Leaks leaked. They were even still leaking post-election!

Most commentary on it has been what gets reported, not what got leaked, unlike WL. There's other stuff there, tho could be Ukraine

Do you think someone other than GRU hacked the RNC, and kept the “take” for themselves yet were misidentified by CIA?

Dunno. I'll have to look but one earlier analysis noted that RNC did not use Gmail or other that GRU had regular fakes for.

So it's possible they didn't succeed, as NYT suggests is possible.

I think the “No comment” by RNC in the NYT article says a lot, admittedly they may rescind that
