The servers were investigated directly by a private company that specialized in such things, that the FBI regularly works with, and the results were handed over. It's really not that strange for an organization to balk at handing over it's private proprietary information to the federal government. Especially when there was a chance that within a year that government would be run by someone with a personal vendetta against said organization.
'The servers were investigated directly by a private company'
A private company owned by the very people who apparently did the breach. Dmitri Alperovitc is Russian and owns Crowdstrike, the company that did the 'investigation'.
I'm not saying they did it, and honestly I don't care one way or the other but hiring the people who (allegedly) hacked you to find out who hacked you is the epitome of stupidity.
Going by what we see of the FBI they absolutely reek of incompetence, paying $1 million to unlock an iPhone is another example!
Are you saying that Dmitri Alperovitc did the hacking, or that he's an agent of those who did? Or are you just saying that if you think some Russians did hacking, you should not trust any Russians? None of these options make any sense to me.

All Russians are not members of the Russian government...

I mean, sure if you phrase it like that. Actually understanding the circumstances around that (completely unrelated to what we're talking about) situation would show that it wasn't really that simple.
