Yes, the FBI say something but provides no evidence other than the allegation that Russia did it. Given the state of most organizations computer security including that of various governments I am not all that surprised it happens. I also know that it is quite possible to disguise IP addresses and indeed the Vault 7 data revealed that the CIA created software to alter more than an IP address to falsify the source.
You should also be aware that the very organizations that you want me to take at their word have always opposed a secure internet because such security makes it harder to snoop on everyone. In a very real sense the FBI, CIA, NSA and a whole lot of three-letter agencies have contributed to this problem. Think of it as yet another example of government incompetence to add to the list.
