Of course it influenced the election or they would not have been released. Not that it matters as far as the laws broken by of those that were involved in the weaponization and release. They are just as guilty as the hackers that stole them. They will be prosecuted for their crimes no matter who they are are what office they may hold. They will rue the day they made their deal with Putin, make no mistake about that.
Releasing stolen information, even if you know it is stolen, is NOT a crime. Only the theft is a crime. See the Pentagon Papers case.
