In the words of an Obama administration official in regards to the Russian hacking:

"There was nothing done on Election Day, so it must have worked."

In the words of President Obama himself:

"This was an obsession that dominated the news coverage," Obama said during his end-of-the-year press conference of the rolling release of hacked emails from high-level Democrats, including Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. "This was not some elaborate, complicated espionage scheme."
