"The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an American think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy. Founded in 1921, it is a nonprofit organization that is independent and nonpartisan. CFR is based in New York City, with an additional office in Massachusetts. Its membership has included senior politicians, numerous secretaries of state, CIA directors, bankers, lawyers, professors, corporate directors and CEOs, and senior media figures."

Sorry, but I don't subscribe to ad hominem attacks against fact checkers.
Trying to discredit a fact checker does not somehow give credibility to those whom they fact check.
MBFC isn't the source of the claim. So no need to trust them. They aren't making a claim about Russian involvement with DNC leaks.
That claim was from the Examiner. If have any better source, you should use that. As it stands, you cannot refute the Examiner's clear bias and history of failed fact checks.
"The Washington Examiner is owned by Clarity Media Group, owned by Philip Anschutz, an American billionaire entrepreneur who describes himself as a “conservative Christian.” Anschutz is also the owner of the right-leaning Weekly Standard and has donated millions of dollars to right-leaning causes, including anti-LGBT groups, such as the Family Research Council, which has been labeled a hate group. The Washington Examiner is funded through an advertising and subscription model."
