There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

The US produced some lengthy reports detailing exactly what happened (down to timestamps of the hackers' web searches!), and charged some Russian hackers (in absence?) but didn't charge the main US suspects because one of them was president at the time, and the Attorney General tried to undermine his own organization's report.
