I don't think that's the relevant point here. That's merely his opinion, and being a Russian, certainly he is more willing to give his government the benefit of the doubt.

What's more interesting is that he is willing to work with the FBI and is offering clues into uncovering the hackers, but simply nobody has contacted him or expressed interest in pursuing the hackers.

I've been following the recent FBI Congressional hearings and to be honest, they're either very incompetent or very good at acting incompetent.

Or competence struggles to shine through bureaucracy. I think every one of us has probably experienced this personally, and it's kind of lame to act like it couldn't happen to our govt (which undoubtedly has at least some smart people).

Because it would be silly for nation X to hack nation Y using private servers in nation X. At least route it through A,B,X,C.
