It is more likely that a Bernie supporter in the DNC pulled the information and had it released.  While Putin did express a preference for Trump that doesn't prove that it was the Russians.  As the recently release CIA hacking tools demonstrate, it is possible to make a hacking effort look like it came from anywhere.

Sophisticated hacking tools leave unique traces that an organization like the NSA can find and decypher.  I doubt some flunky insider could pull that off.
