Sarcasm, no doubt.
British ambassador and friend of Julian Assange Craig Murray is the one who delivered the DNC emails to WikiLeaks, after receiving them from the leaker in Washington DC. They have affirmed that the emails were leaked, not hacked, and that the leaker is a DNC-insider, who is not Russian.
Konrad Yakabuski's article is just more of the same false propaganda dribble we've been subjected to by this paper for a long time.

"They are absolutely making it up. I know who leaked them. I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things."
Former CIA director James Woolsey, former CIA-analyst Larry Johnson, and former Mi5 officer Annie Machon are all in agreement that the hacking claims are presented in a manner that strongly suggests there is not evidence to back them up.
