So Bitcoin was used to finance and control the election of the most powerful country in history?

If you believe that HRC lost because a foreign power "hacked" the election, then yes.

If you believe that releasing actual, and somewhat unflattering, information about candidates to the public shows that political party leaders chose the wrong candidate, then no.

At the very least, this is an example of how Bitcoin is not completely anonymous, depending on how one uses it.
