Connecting to a server from GRU headquarters isn't something I'd call "definitely easy". If the claim is true, Occam's Razor suggests that the GRU was involved in some fashion. What's the alternative? That the DNC compromised the network of a Russian intelligence agency?
(How much faith to put in an anonymously sourced claim about what was in the logs of an unnamed social network is a separate question, of course.)
