That is one of the craziest conspiracies ever concocted. Assange is no Russian agent. Comey hates the Russians. Angry lower middle class whites who usually do not vote came out for Trump because he voiced the concern of their real pain. I just don't think, as I'm sure you also do not, that Trump will really address those pains. He will at best scapegoat all minority groups and sew hate in all directions. The Russians did not hack the emails that showed Clinton to be sleazy...and it doesn't matter who did...the emails speak for themselves. Trump has as many skeletons of different types in his closet, but they were not covered by the Presstitutes, as he was their cash cow over the last year. It is all more complex than you make it. Trump is a neo-fascist and no-nothing. He is a racist, sexist, mobbed-up, a cheat, dishonest, a sociopath if not psychopath. He also knows nothing about running a country and it is NOT run like as shady corporation. Add to that he is a liar too [as is Clinton] and made promises he can't even imagine how to fulfill. Having a President endorsed by the KKK and white Nationalist groups should worry everyone, worldwide, but non-whites and illegal immigrants, progressives and those who challenge the structures from the Left should really be living in fear - and I would imagine millions of them will get out of the USA before the inauguration. I agree with you it is a travesty, but not caused by the names you mentioned - at all! It is all internal stuff - nothing external. Comey and the ultra-rightwing FBI is the only group you mention I think deserve some guilt for the result...but even they didn't make the final difference. People are hurting and saw Trump as the best, or only, way to say 'fuck you' to the powers that be. That said, i don't think they will soon be happy with Trump. As progressives who backed Obama were sold out, I soon think those that backed Trump will be too. The Nation has certainly reverted to much uglier times of overt racism, sexism, hate of the 'other', hate of progressives and those that question American policies, etc. Your analysis is flawed IMO...you are blaming the wrong entities - except for the FBI.
