Let me try to make this simple, because I think you want to, and can, understand what I'm saying.

I'm saying this article quotes the NSA using language condemning what Russia allegedly did.

I'm saying, if we want to condemn this type of behavior we should:

A) Define why it is bad in a general sense (not in the context of a controversial president)

B) Ensure that if we agree it's an morally unacceptable or malicious process, that our acronym agencies do not do this same behavior to other countries (otherwise we are hypocrites and they will quite rightly feel they have justification to retaliate in kind)

And my last paragraph suggests that those in positions of authority are too-close-to-see-it, and that perhaps these distinctions on what is "cyber warfare" and what is "revealing the truth" should be made by congress in unambiguous and neutral fashion.
