I doubt that Russia was the only country that tried to interfere in our election. Obama interfered in the Israeli election, so it's not as if meddling in other country's elections is unusual, even between allies.

And did Russia actually interfere? Their attempts at hacking the voting machines failed. The only thing anyone can point to is hacking the DNC server and thus revealing the embarrassing truth that the DNC conspired to keep Bernie from winning (assuming that was even Russia, Assange says otherwise). The effect of that was insignificant compared to the money spent by foreigners.

If there was nothing to it, why is Obama criticized for doing nothing about it?

Actually there was nothing to Trump and his team working with the Russians.
There was something to the Russians trying to tamper in many different ways (although no votes changed).
The second thing is what Obama and his admin chose to ignore and wait for Trump to win to flip script.

But... ya know...
If CNN didn't report it... it's probably not true... amirite?
