I gather from this that the files were not obtained via Russian hacker. Moreover, based on this analysis the likelihood of a Russian hackers is remote. Furthermore, it could not possibly be a Russian hack if this information is true.

No, the time/date stamps of the copied files are so close together that the files appear to have been copied locally at a speed that a remote internet connection could not achieve. But the time/date stamps of those files could have been modified to achieve precisely that effect. A good hacker may very well have done exactly that to obfuscate his fingerprints. This analysis proves nothing - just points out that the most obvious view of the data is that it was copied locally. Without a thorough analysis of the data and the server nothing can be proved. And after this length of time and with the data server being kept out of the hands of the relevant authorities nothing can or ever will be proved. It's good to be a Democrat.
