Is the sworn word from intelligence agencies not even enough to have you convinced to at least consider the possibility that the Russians have the motive and the means to meddle with US Elections?
It's amusing how selective you are when it comes to the intelligence community.
No, we have the evidence. There's such an overwhelming consensus that the Russians hacked the DNC for political gain. The only thing presently under investigation is whether or not the Trump administration is cahoots. I apologize that reality disagrees with your worldview.
Except in 2015, Wikileaks announced publicly
the Russians were able to hack into the DNC email accounts. So either Wikileaks lied, or their source lied. In the end which one do you find more reliable?
Isn't it funny that you're attempting to derail the conversation away from Russia sanctioning the hacking of American citizens to try and suddenly bring up "our massive spy program." I have yet to see anyone successfully pull of this clumsy, dishonest misdirection yet. The question isn't whether SIGINT work moral or not. Instead, the conversation is whether or not you believe it is okay for a foreign government to interfere with US elections.
The only ones "hysteric" are people attempting to deny reality because "their side" benefited from international subterfuge.
You say that there is proof and then say that there is consensus.
If there is proof, consensus is worthless.
I could not find the snipet in your link that demonstrated the assertion that wiki leaks confirmed that their leaks came from the Russians.
Here is a link that specifically denies that and also makes reference to your consensus:
At Least 6 TIMES Wikileaks Has Denied Russia Was their Source for Leaked DNC Emails - But Media Ignores It

Assange: The Clinton camp has been able to project a neo-McCarthyist hysteria that Russia is responsible for everything.
Hillary Clinton has stated multiple times, falsely, that 17 US intelligence agencies had assessed that Russia was the source of our publications.
That’s false – we can say that the Russian government is not the source,” Assange told the veteran Australian broadcaster as part of a 25-minute John Pilger Special, courtesy of Dartmouth Films.

Repeating a lie does not make it the truth. It only repeats the lie.
We definitely have evidence that our spies spy on US Citizens.

NSA Fesses Up To Improper Surveillance Of U.S. Citizens | The Huffington Post

The batch of documents, stretching from the fourth quarter of 2001 to the second quarter of 2013, was released in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.
While some of the information was already publicly known, the reports shed more light on instances in which NSA employees either intentionally or unintentionally violated the law and collected the private data of American citizens.

You are buying into the propaganda put forth to attack Trump.
Take a step back and read the accounts closely. The main Stream Media is working hard to delude those with sympathies similar to yours.
There is no evidence to support either trump's claim that he was "wire tapped" or the claims by the Democrats that the Trump campaign and the Russians colluded to derail the flawed campaign of the flawed Democrat candidate.
Hillary lost. Trump's an political neophyte. One of them won the election and the other did not.
There is now an organized campaign to delegitimize Trump. Much of it is to simply quote him accurately. Much of it is to quote him selectively.
No matter how much you dislike him, the facts are still the facts.
