Director James Comey said last year that the DNC had denied the bureau’s requests to examine the breached servers.
Comey said at the time that the FBI and DNC agreed to let a private firm access the servers and share the findings with investigators.

So this begs the question.. This all based on the word of the DNC
Did the FBI ever get the DNC Servers?
If not, then why are the FBI believing the DNC?
How did they come to this conclustion without the DNC Servers?
I think this is one of those let the DNC skate as its easier to blame the Russians who will probably never step foot in this country.
If you you read the indictment, it explains how the DNC and DCCC got hacked. They didn’t go into great detail, but enough to satisfy my curoisity. If you read between the lines they were able to analyse network equipment and other computer logs. The hackers were inside the organizations for quite some time. It took some time to hack the DNC Exchange server.
I listened to Donna Brazile’s book “Hacked” with her doing the audio about her replacement time as DNC chair after DWS was canned.
The DNC was in the middle of an election. I do not find it surprising that they did not want to shut down their own system and turn servers over to the FBI in the middle of that election nor do I find it surprising that law enforcement didn’t kill their entire system and drag it off in the middle of the election.
They brought in the silicon valley experts they could get gratis and an entire team rebuilt and re-hardened the site and its software while it was still up and operating. Their internal morals made them believe that Trump was connected with the Russian hacking but they knew it was the Russians from early on according to her detailed account.
