Two different articles in the New York Times mention that the CIA has evidence that the RNC was also hacked, but that the Russians did not release what they found
Trump and the his minions deny it. But this is just part of their general denial. Admitting that they were hacked but that the Russians chose not to leak what they found would only strengthen the case that Russia was trying to tilt the election toward Trump. So they cannot possibly admit the truth.
Why does the media let the Republicans get away with this kind of crap?

It is possible that in hacking into the Republican committee, Russian agents were simply hedging their bets. The attack took place in the spring, the senior officials said, about the same time that a group of hackers believed to be linked to the G.R.U., Russias military intelligence agency, stole the emails of senior officials of the Democratic National Committee. Intelligence agencies believe that the Republican committee hack was carried out by the same Russians who penetrated the Democratic committee and other Democratic groups.
The finding about the Republican committee is expected to be included in a detailed report of lessons learned that Mr. Obama has ordered intelligence agencies to assemble before he leaves office on Jan. 20. That report is intended, in part, to create a comprehensive history of the Russian effort to influence the election, and to solidify the intelligence findings before Mr. Trump is sworn in.
