If filed, the case would provide the clearest picture yet of the actors behind the DNC intrusion. U.S. intelligence agencies have attributed the attack to Russian intelligence services, but haven't provided detailed information about how they concluded those services were responsible, or any details about the individuals allegedly involved.
The high-profile hack of the DNC’s computers played a central role in the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment in January that “Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.”

So the hacks were - supposedly - to benefit Trump. Yet, the Trump Justice dept is pursuing a case against Russia. This process could "out" the individuals involved in the hacking, and might result in those individuals going on the record with their motivation.
This could get interesting.
