Of course it was Russia. It's always Russia. I don't know why they're investigating if it could have been a foreign adversary, it was fucking Russia.

Why investigate anything?

To make sure, and remove plausible deniability.

I don't know why they're investigating

Probably because if they admit it was Russia they'd have to respond to a clear act of war.
