Of passing interest, I think, is the following answer Obama gave in regard to Wikileaks and the DNC email.
Obama used the word "hacked" when describing the Intelligence Community's case, but choose - probably unconsciously - the word "leaked" when discussing Wikileaks involvement.
Here's what he said:
"First of all, I haven't commented on WikiLeaks, generally. The conclusions of the intelligence community with respect to the Russian hacking were not conclusive as to whether Wikileaks was witting or not in being the conduit through which we heard about the DNC emails that were leaked."
Definition of Freudian slip at Merriam-Webster:
"Definition of Freudian slip

Perhaps Obama is such a developed fence-sitter that he knowingly used both terms...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
