Just because media did not report on CNN's Donna Brazile passing debate questions to Clinton campaign or Obama's other first lady trying to cheat Sanders, does this give Putin the right to serve American public with such information? If Putin did really leak DNC emails, won't that be against Freedom of Press of US media owners employees?

Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks isn’t sure if Russia was behind the email hacks that roiled the election. But if they were, he says, the release of information could be considered a public service.

“I’m all for doing what’s necessary to protect the electorate but there’s no suggestion that Russia hacked into our voting systems or anything like that,” Franks said on MSNBC Thursday. “But the bottom line is if they succeeded, if Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done,” he added.
Franks' comments came just before the Obama Administration announced sanctions against Russian officials over allegations that they hacked Democratic officials to affect the 2016 election.

There is some speculation that DGP team's sanctions against Putin are really a revenge for Putin defeating ISIS types/neocons supported Jihadi groups in Syria and "hacking" that has been going on for many years is just the cover story.
