There was actually a pretty acromonious debate in the Obama WH whether to


go public. They elected not to because they didn't want to be perceived as using the instruments of national power, in this case the intelligence community, to influence electoral politics. Obama hit fast and hard AFTER the election. PNG'ed ~40 "diplomats" and closed Russian "diplomatic" facilities in New York and Maryland. I think that was the right move.

Shortly after Trump took the oath of office, he returned the facilities Obama closed to Russia, though.
