The Guardian has shown the documents to independent experts who say they appear to be genuine. Incidental details come across as accurate. The overall tone and thrust is said to be consistent with Kremlin security thinking.

Yes, an opinion by experts. It is an opinion, but not one that can be dismissed without competing opinion from others of equal credential.

Hillary would’ve easily won the presidency if she was a decent candidate and ran a competent campaign.

Absolutely agree, although I think it's 'more true' stated the opposite direction: even without Russian interference, Hillary was never going to win, because she was a bad candidate, and her disastrous campaign was the nail in the coffin.
