Now when they talk of all 17 agencies agreeing that Russians hacked, does that mean all 17 investigated or have been read into it?

Therein lies the question. Most countries make do with between 1-4. Even the most perverse totalitarian states don't have 17 separate intelligence organisations.
Even Nazi Germany got along with only 3.
Nazi Germany lost the war.

I strongly doubt that all 17 agencies were involved in "the investigation" and I'm even more sure that 17 independent investigations were not conducted. (That is one by each of the members of the US Intelligence Communities). Statements that tend towards or even allow for either of those meanings are misleading exaggerations and less than honest.
P.S. You're welcome for the list

Well we can see what a disaster 9/11 was.
If all these diffrent agency's had been talking then it likely would never have happend. It seems each agency had a bit of the puzzle but they never put it together and 3000 died...
I do wonder why the Department of Energy needs an Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, and why the Department of the Treasury needs an Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence
here is absolutely now way the the US government knows beyond a doubt that the Russian government was behind the phishing or hack.
