I read the convincing CrowdStrike detailed and technical description of how the DNC server got hacked. CrowdStrike saw the tracks of two known Russian groups.
The published documents to me look real. The SECRET document from the State Department had the obviously secret item that the USA will not nuke terrorist training camps nor hideouts in Pakistan. Official US policy is that all tools are on the table.
Question is how did the SECRET document get on to the DNC server?
Regarding Guccifer 2.0, I believe this is Russia's obfuscation of their release of these damaging documents. They want to help Trump, but must not admit it for fear that Obama takes action now, Hillary takes action if she is elected, or even if Trump wins - Russians helping him might actually hurt him given the foreign interference in USA elections.
Those don't look like actual classification markings, which are required to appear at both the top and bottom of pages. It seems more likely that those are some internal Democratic party markings. Also the fact that the documents seem to be talking about the first 100 days in the future tense would point to them being planning documents produced by people in the party.
